I. Introduction
LexAccess also provides users to search by category. There are 11 categories in the SPECIALIST LEXICON. They are:

• Adj: adjective
• Adv: adverb
• Aux: auxiliary
• Compl: complementizer
• Conj: conjunction
• Det: determiner
• Modal: modal
• Noun: noun
• Prep: preposition
• Pron: pronoun
• Verb: verb

II. Usage
To perform this search, users need to:

• Select search mode to "Search By Category"
  • By Top menu bar: Options -> Search Mode -> By Category
  • By Keys: Alt + c
• Select interested categories
• Click on "Search" button

III. Example
Below shows an example of searching records of auxiliary and complementizer. Four records are retrieved (3 auxiliary, 1 complementizer). Due to the image size, only one and partial of the second record are shown on the picture below. However, users may scroll down to see all records on the GUI tools.

Please note that this search might take a long while if you choose categories with lots of records. Such as noun, adj, verb, etc..
