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 41 ______ meaning', but in fact some grammarians have called 42 ______ them 'empty' words as opposed in the 'full' words 43 ______ of vocabulary. But this is a rather misled way of 44 ______ 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; 45 ______ there is a sharp difference in meaning between 'man is vile' and 'the man is vile', yet the is the single vehicle of this 46 ______ difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among themselves as the amount 47 ______ of 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 48 ______ good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, 49 ______ 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 50 ______ 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.
