The grammatical words which play so large a part in English
grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different
from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may
seem the most obvious is that grammatical words have "less
(1)
meaning", but in fact some grammarians have called them
(2)
"empty" words as opposed in the "full" words of vocabulary. But
(3)
this is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a
(4)
word like the is not the name of something as man is, it is very
far away from being meaningless; there is a sharp difference in
(5)
meaning between "man is vile" and "the man is vile", yet
the is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning.
(6)
Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among
themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in the
(7)
lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been
"little words". But size is by no mean a good criterion for
(8)
distinguishing the grammatical words of English, when we consider
(9)
that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. Apart from
(10)
this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people
say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we
omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert
Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
