3.3. Typology of Grammatical Categories in English and 
Native Languages 
A grammatical category isa system opposed to each other grammatical 
forms with similar values. Members of the same grammatical category are the 
general grammatical meaning and differ in connotation. 
Grammatical categories are subdivided into morphological and syntactic. 
Among the morphological categories are distinguished, for example, the kind of 
grammatical categories, tense, mood, person, gender, number, case; consistent 
expression of these categories are characterized by the whole grammatical word 
classes (parts of speech).
Grammatical categories in different languages with a strong word formation, 
ie such members can be represented by the forms of the same word within its 
paradigm (for example, in the Russian language - the tense, the inclination, the 
number of the verb, number, case, gender adjectives degrees of comparison).
Word changing, ie such that the members can not be represented forms of 
the same word (for example, in the Russian language - the genus and 
animation/inanimation nouns). 
Also, grammatical categoriesare distinguished as: 
revealed a syntactically (relational), i.e. pointing especially to the 
combinability of the forms as part of the phrase or sentence (for example, in the 
Russian language - gender, case) 

non-syntactical detected (referential, nominative), ie expressed primarily 
different semantic abstraction, abstracted from properties,

connections and relationships extralinguistic reality (for example, in the 
Russian language - the kind of time) 
Such grammatical categoryas for example, the number or the person can 
combine features of both these types. 
According toDr. Buranov, grammatical categories can be divided into two: 

grammatical macrocategories or primary grammatical categories (the term 
suggested by Aristotle); 

Grammatical microcategories orsecondary grammatical categories (the term 
suggested by Aristotle).
