问题     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 (1)_____
words have "less meaning", but in fact some grammarians have called them (2)_____
"empty" words as opposed in the "full" words of vocabulary. But this is a rather (3)_____
misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name (4)_____
of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a (5)_____
sharp difference in meaning between "man is vile" and "the man is vile", yet the
is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words (6)_____
differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in (7)_____
the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been "little words."
But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words (8)_____
of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. (9)_____
Apart from 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 (10)_____
illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams
and newspaper headlines.
