2. categorical, pertaining to a category
   • 2004, Andrew Radford, Minimalist Syntax: Exploring the Structure of English, University Press, Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, page 55:

     So, there is considerable evidence in favour of drawing a categorial distinction between the preposition for and the complementiser for: they are different lexical items (i.e. words) belonging to different categories.
