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.

ily is headed in our postindustrial age. Divorce is raging. More people are living alone. Couples are often living together without the commitment of marriage. These statistics are Britain today, but the phenomena are occurring throughout the postindustrial world as well. Sociologists do not agree as to the causes of this bleakness. Some lay blame on single mothers who set up a cycle of economic deprivation, emotional instability and lack of parental authority. Others feel that women working full time having fewer children, living much longer than their grandmothers, yielding to advertising and financial stress, and striving to "succeed" in terms of a man dominated world are the real causes. Also, families may be becoming more private as time and outside stress demand too much of its members. It seems, there is no sense of place in a time of continuous movement, old people need a purpose, and aging must be acknowledged.
