I may be allowed to recommend this article:<br>
<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267767933_The_nature_of_parts_of_speech" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267767933_The_nature_of_parts_of_speech</a><br>
If one believes ResearchGate, it has been my second most-read work in the past few years, so there may be some merit to it.<br>
