Madurese is a major regional language of Indonesia, with some 14 million speakers, mainly on the island of Madura and adjacent parts of Java, making it the fourth largest language of Indonesia after Indonesian, Javanese, and Sundanese. There is no existing comprehensive descriptive grammar of the language, with existing studies being either sketches of the whole grammar, or detailed descriptions of phonology and morphology or some particular topics within these components of the grammar. There is no competing work that provides the breadth and depth of coverage of this grammar, in particular (though not exclusively) with regard to syntax.

Chapter 3 Lexical categories (p. 61-62) This chapter considers the issue of what lexical categories should be recognized in Madurese. As in any language, there are both open class categories– categories that readily admit new items either through coinage or borrowing– and closed class categories–those that resist new items. For the most part, the set of closed class categories identifiable in Madurese is similar to those in related languages: pronouns, demonstratives, numerals and quantifiers, prepositions, adverbs, auxiliaries, conjunctions and assorted particles.
An issue of potential contention in analyses of Austronesian languages is identifying the set of open class categories, basically the categories corresponding to noun, verb, and adjective in Indo-European languages. The majority of recent analyses posit a distinction between nouns and verbs. However, they are divided about whether to recognize a class of adjectives distinct from verbs. Although adjective has been recognized as a separate class in much early work, this may simply reflect the lens of the Western grammatical tradition through which they were viewed. Recently, a number of linguists have argued on the basis of morphological properties and syntactic distribution that in many Austronesian languages a category of adjective distinct from verbs is unwarranted (e.g. Donohue 1999, Klamer 1998, van den Berg 1989) Further, in some of these languages the line dividing nouns and verbs is somewhat blurred. For instance, Foley (1998) has proposed that the noun/verb distinction is irrelevant in Tagalog (and by extension other Philippine languages). Rather, roots are ‘precategorial’ and lexical classes are identifiable only from the syntactic environment in which the word occurs. Regardless of the correctness or incorrectness of this proposal for a particular language, sets of precategorial roots have been suggested for a number of Austronesian

languages in which the noun/verb distinction is posited.
Section 1 examines open class items and proposes that Madurese includes the categories noun and verb and a subcategory adjective. It also takes up the issue of precategorial roots. The remaining lexical classes are briefly discussed and exemplified in section 2.
1. Open class categories
As stated above, determining how many major lexical classes to recognize is not always a straightforward task. There are some lexical roots that can appear in a nominal syntactic frame or a verbal syntactic frame without any obvious derivational morphology. An example is given in (1).
