There are eight parts of speech in English.

You are referring to each prepositional phrase's usage, not the part of speech.
Sentence 1 --
This = pronoun
book = noun
is = verb
for = preposition
you = pronoun
A prepositional phrase is comprised of a preposition plus its object (which can be either a noun or a pronoun). There is often an article and/or adjective between the preposition and its object.
Please revise your original statement. You're not referring to parts of speech here, but to the use of prepositional phrases: adjectival or adverbial.
