That

That may be:

A conjunction - He said that he saw a ghost.
A demonstrative determiner (an adjective?) - I'm going to buy that bike, not this one.
A pronoun - I've told you that.
A relative pronoun - The woman that lives next door is very friendly.
An adverb - I'm not that big a fan of the soap opera.

Yes. And if you want to use some "modern terminology", in the first example you can say that "that" is a complementizer because it turns a clause (he saw a ghost) into the complement of a verb (said).
