关于both词性问题分析
1、Both women were French.
2、Both the women were French.
3、Both of the women were French.
4、They were both French.
5、They both spoke French.
6、I like them both.
7、Both Mary and Jim were French.
我对以上7个句子中both词性的判断分别是：1、形容词2、形容词3、代词4、副词5、副词6、副词7、连词.但是我查词典验证时,却发现问题多多：
1、《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》中对both的词性划分很笼统,归为限定词,代词,并未对例句作词性分类.（限定词说明它的语义功能,代词说明它的语法功能.以下不再阐述限定词,只讨论语法功能上的词性分析.）
2、《新牛津英汉双解大词典》把1、2、3、4、6句句型中both归为代词,7句句型中both归为副词.
3、《牛津进阶英汉双解词典》中把both笼统地归为代词、副词.并未对例句作词性分类.
4、《朗文当代英语字典》中把both笼统地归为代词.
以上词典被公认为是最权威的英语词典,但对both一词词性的归类却让我蒙了.无赖,我在网上用有道词典搜查了一下,找到both的词性有形容词、代词、副词、连词,用法也与我对以上7句的判断差不多.
试问：
1、我对以上7句中both词性的判断是否正确?
2、我列出的几部权威词典对both词性的界定怎么乱七八糟的?
请各位朋友帮忙解释.
