Identify the phrasal categories

Hello,
how can I identify the phrasal categories?
I've got a problem with this sentence...

“The central assumption underpinning syntactic analysis in traditional grammar is the phrases and sentences are built up of a series of constituents, each of which belongs to a specific grammatical category and serves a specific grammatical function.”
