| has gloss | (noun) a word that is uninflected and serves a grammatical function but has little identifiable meaning closed-class word, function word |
| has gloss | eng: Function words (or 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, or specify the attitude or mood of the speaker. Words that are not function words are called content words (or open class words or lexical words): these include nouns, verbs, adjectives, and most adverbs, although some adverbs are function words (e.g., then and why). Dictionaries define the specific meanings of content words, but can only describe the general usages of function words. By contrast, grammars describe the use of function words in detail, but treat lexical words in general terms only. |

| has gloss | deu: Das Synsemantikum (auch Synsemantikon, Synkategorem oder Funktionswort) (englisch: synsemantic word ) ist eine Sammelbezeichnung für alle Wortarten, die nur eine grammatische Funktion im Satz haben, aber keine eigene (lexikalische) Bedeutung; daher auch die Bezeichnung Funktionswort. In dem Satz „Die Katze sitzt vor dem Ofen“ sind der Artikel „die“ und die Präposition „vor“ solche Funktionswörter. Sie haben, anders als „Katze“ und „Ofen“, keine eigene Bedeutung; sie sind aber notwendig, damit der Satz grammatisch korrekt ist. |

| has gloss | slv: Funkcijske besede so besede, ki pogosto nimajo leksikalnega pomena ali imajo dvoumen pomen in služijo za izražanje slovničnih odnosov z drugimi besedami znotraj stavka ali izražajo odnos oz. razpoloženje govorca. Besede, ki ne spadajo v to skupino so leksikalne besede. Med te spadajo samostalniki, glagoli, pridevniki in večina prislovov. Slovar zlahka definira pomene leksikalnih besed, pri funkcijskih pa ima več težav, saj lahko razloži le splošno rabo. Nasproti temu pa lahko funkcijske besede do podrobnosti opiše slovnica. |
