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 words          【1】______
have "less meaning", but in fact some grammarians        【2】______
have called them "empty" words as opposed in the         【3】______
"full" words of vocabulary. But this is a rather misled  【4】______
way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like                           
the is not the name of something as man is, it is very                           
far away from being meaningless; there is a sharp        【5】______
difference in meaning between "man is vile" and                           
"the man is vile", yet the is the single vehicle of this 【6】______
difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words                           
differ considerably among themselves as the amount of    【7】______
meaning they have even in the 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 that we have lexical words as           【9】______
go, man, say, car. Apart from this, however,                           
there is a good deal of truth in what some people                           
say: we certainly do create a great number of            【10】______
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.
【M10】
