	Function word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Function words may be prepositions, pronouns, auxiliary verbs, conjunctions, grammatical articles or particles, all of which belong to the group of closed class words.
		Function words may or may not be inflected or may have affixes.

	Function - LoveToKnow 1911
		The notion of functionality or functional relation of two magnitudes was thus of geometrical origin; but a function soon came to be regarded as an analytical expression, not necessarily an algebraic expression, containing the variable or variables.
		The function may have a limit on the left and a limit on the right at the same point; these may be different from each other, and at least one of them must be different from the value of the function at the point.
		The function may be given by specifying the domain of the argument and the rule of calculation, or else the function may have to be determined in accordance with certain conditions; for example, it may have to satisfy in a prescribed domain an assigned differential equation.

	Sample Entry: Function Words / Encyclopedia of Linguistics
		English function words, on the other hand, include determiners, such as the and a(n); auxiliaries, such as might, have, and be; conjunctions, such as and, that, and whether; and degree adverbs, such as very and too.
		In contrast, function words are typically lacking in the speech of young children, certain kinds of aphasia, and telegraphic speech.
		To use the technical terminology, function words were “projecting to a phrase” or “heading a phrase.” Determiners, for example, came to be regarded as the head of determiner phrases--that is, the rabbit was now interpreted as a determiner phrase the.

	Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, the "is a square root of" relation is a function, and it contains for example, the pairs (3, 9) and (-3, 9); while the converse, "is the square of" relation, is not a function because it contains both the pairs (9, 3) and (9, −3), and 3 is not equal to −3.
		The word function was later used by Leonhard Euler during the mid-18th century to describe an expression or formula involving various arguments, e.g.
		The number of computable functions from integers to integers is countable, because the number of possible algorithms is. The number of all functions from integers to integers is higher: the same as the cardinality of the real numbers.

	Programming in Emacs Lisp: Counting Words
		Clearly, counting words is a repetitive act: starting from the beginning of the region, you count the first word, then the second word, then the third word, and so on, until you reach the end of the region.
		Words are defined as at least one word-constituent character followed by at least one character that is not a word-constituent.
		function has three jobs: it sets up the appropriate conditions for counting to occur; it counts the words in the region; and it sends a message to the user telling how many words there are.

	ASPN : Python Cookbook : one-liner word-wrap function (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		I needed to do some simple word wrapping, and I also wanted to be able to preserve line breaks and runs of spaces that were already present.
		Well, the reduce function takes each word and adds it to the text to be output, preceding the word with either a space or a linefeed, depending on whether the space + the word would make the current line of the output exceed the max width.
		Each word is found with a simple split on the space character, so a "word" may actually span multiple lines (which is why existing line breaks end up being preserved).

	FUNCTION WORDS
		Function words are the ligaments tying the main bones together, tying pieces of muscle together sometimes, and marking which bone is which.
		Function words also enable a whole group of words (instead of a single word) to fill a noun slot or a verb slot or a modifier slot.
		This is mostly the same set of words as that found under prepositions, except we call them verb particles when they group up with verbs instead of with nouns.

	The Safety Instrumented Function: An S-Word Worth Knowing
		IEC standard 61511 defines a safety instrumented function as a "safety function with a specified safety integrity level which is necessary to achieve functional safety.
		The second is a safety instrumented control function, which is a safety instrument function operating in the continuous mode.
		If you have identified an instrumented protection function and the consequence of the hazard could be killing or injuring, the function is a potential SIF (pending SIL analysis--there may be adequate layers of protection so that identification of the protective function as a SIF is not required).

	Identifying the Function
		A whole group of words (introduced by a function word) can function as a nominal, an adjectival, or an adverbial.
		For example: "He looked up." (up is an adverbial– looked "where"?); "She ran up the hill" (up is a function word enabling the whole phrase up the hill to be an adverbial– now the whole phrase up the hill answers "where").
		Sometimes verbs and nouns function outside of their "slot." A verb form can answer who/what in a sentence, which means it’s functioning as a nominal or a noun can modify another noun, which means it’s functioning as an adjectival).

	Function-Word Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Function words are "context-free" words which facilitate comparisons between documents.
		Examples of function words are prepositions, conjunctions, and articles (Holmes, 1995).
		According to Martindale and McKenzie (1995) the advantage of Function-Word analysis is that writers do not tend to monitor exactly which function words they use.
