Function word

From Teflpedia
Disambiguation: Not to be confused with word function.

A function word, also known as a structure word or grammatical word, is a word used principally to express notions of grammar. English function words include articles, conjunctions, auxiliaries, pronouns and prepositions. Function words usually express some meaning, but it’s not their primary role. They tend to be short words, especially one or two letters, following the three-letter rule pattern.

Contrast content word.
