Content and function words, 
Active and Passive words, 
General and Special Words , and 
Rules of word structure
Content and function words 
Content words are Full of meaning, and they form the core 
of the communicative message of the sentence. Normally, 
they include nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and 
adverbs. Function words are not so important to the general 
meaning of the sentence although they are essential to its 
grammaticality . They partly include prepositions, 
conjunctions, and articles. They are sometimes called 
grammatical words.
Content and function words 
For example: 
Nouns: 
John, room, answer 
Adjectives: 
happy, new, large, gray 
Verbs: 
search, grow, hold, have 
Adverbs: 
really, completely, very, also, 
enough
Content and function words 
First content words are much more in 
number, most words in language lexicon 
are content words. 
types of 
words differ 
in several 
ways 
Second, the sentence may be exclusively 
formed by content words, but no sentence 
can be structured by function words only, 
e.g., cats love mice.
Content and function words 
types of 
words differ 
in several 
ways 
Fourth, content 
words in a language 
grow in number as 
time passed on and 
as the language 
grow in number as 
time passes on and 
as the language 
develops, but 
function words do 
not normally 
increase in number 
with the passage of 
time . 
Third, if the 
content words of 
a sentence are 
omitted, nothing 
remains of its 
communicative 
message.

Active and Passive words

words are Actively used when he speak or

Rules of word structure 
build 
Control rules + phonemic string = syllable 
build 
Control rules+ morphemic string = words 
build 
Control rules + word string = sentence
Rules of word structure 
The rules set the (phonemic , morphemic , 
syntactic system , respectively) in other word 
the correct place . 
E.G : the word its un + wanted=? 
wanted + un= 
Why..? 
Because the rules tell where we put it and the 
word become tidy 
Rules of word structure 
Morphological 
rules 
Every affix has a 
specified position in 
relation to the root . 
some affixes come only 
before the precfixes , 
after suffixes and inside 
infixes. 
Every affix is used with 
a certine part of speech 
and may not be usable 
with other parts .
Rules of word structure 
For example: 
A- let + root noun =booklet , leaflet. 
B- ness + adjective =smallness , greatness. 
C- en + adjective =widen , blacken.
