ABSTRACT
This part contains the function words in alphabetical order with detailed semantic analyses and descriptions on a grammatical basis. Every entry includes a list of meanings, their explanation, and examples of how the function word is used in specific contexts in combination with other words. Some entries include fixed phrases, proverbs, or sayings. Many of the words or phrases can function in different capacities, e.g., а can be a conjunction, a particle, or an interjection. However, some functions of some words or phrases are not presented in the book because of the low frequency of their use in discourse or their archaism. The translation of some words in examples may not be identical to the translation given at the top of the entry and may instead be contextual synonyms.
