The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different （1）from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical words have“less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them（2） “empty”words as opposed in the “full”words of vocabulary. （3） But this is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction. （4） 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 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 that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. Apart（9） from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity （10） when we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
