WHAT DOES LEXICALLY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Function word

Function 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, or specify the attitude or mood of the speaker. They signal the structural relationships that words have to one another and are the glue that holds sentences together. Thus, they serve as important elements to the structures of sentences. Consider the following two sentences: ▪ The winfy prunkilmonger from the glidgement mominkled and brangified all his levensers vederously. ▪ Glop angry investigator larm blonk government harassed gerfritz infuriated sutbor pumrog listeners thoroughly. In sentence above, the content words have been changed into nonsense syllables but it is not difficult for one to posit that winfy is an adjective, prunkilmonger, glidgement, levensers as nouns, mominkled, brangified as verbs and vederously as an adverb based on clues like the derivational and inflectional morphemes.. Hence, even without lexical meaning, the sentence can be said to be rather "meaningful".
