Function Words
In contrast to content words, function words (also called grammatical words) are words that have little lexical meaning or have
ambiguous meaning, but instead serve to express grammatical relationships with other words within a sentence. Function words
are closed-class words. Languages do not easily add new words to this set. They are always relatively few and resistant to
change. They are lexically unproductive and are generally invariable in form.

Examples
Prepositions:

of, at, in, without, between


Pronouns:

he, they, anybody, it, one


Determiners:

the, a, that, my, more, much, either,

neither
Conjunctions:

and, that, when, while, although, or


Auxiliary:

verbs be (is, am, are), have, got, do


Particles:

no, not, nor, as
