The conflicting syntactic and semantic properties of the expression such give a challenge to most grammatical treatments. Based on a careful corpus examination, we attempt to provide a uniform treatment in which such is taken to be a `functor' selecting its grammatical dependents. We claim that its different uses thus hinge on how these dependents are realized. It is true that every language employs a limited set of lexical categories and constructions, but there exist also many lexical expressions whose distributions cannot be pinned down to only one peculiar lexical category. The multi-function of such implies that grammar (or language learners) not only refers to lexical categories, but also utilizes grammatical functions.
