Abstract:

It is known that the functional word “and” is formed from the ancient Turkic particle “birlan” and is differentiated by grammatical function and meaning as a conjunction and ending. However, it is known that modern variants of the particle “birlan”, common to the Turkic peoples, have not received unambiguous recognition in the grammar of the Turkic languages. There are specific reasons for this. The article attempts to compile a systematic description of the functional words that arose from the particle “birlan”. For this purpose, the etymological works of domestic and Soviet Turkologists and

Abstract:

It was noted in the article that different points of view prevail on the correlation of language functions and their interrelation, and individual authors’ opinions on this problem were expressed. The opinion of a group of scientists who adhere to the point of view that language performs only one function, that language performs more than 25 functions or, otherwise, performs an infinite number of functions, contradicts this opinion. But when we talk about these opinions, the correct point of view is formed, first of all, taking into account the function of language in society. The social funct

Abstract:

The communicative function contributes to the formation of three aspects that make up the nature of language (the ideological tool; the signic nature of language). These three aspects are intimately linked and inseparable on the common basis of the social nature of language. To understand the social nature of language, it is first necessary to understand the functions of language. Starting from the above statement, we choose to learn the communication function of the language as an object to gradually approach other functions of the language and the ultimate goal is to understand the nature of

AbstractLanguage becomes a necessary thing because it helps the world having the interaction. In addition, a language is a structured system of communication used by humans. Languages consist of spoken sounds in spoken languages or written elements in written languages. There are some functions of language such as communication, the expression of identity, play, imaginative expression, and emotional release. Additionally, a language may consist of other symbolic elements like hand gestures in sign languages. Language becomes a necessary thing because it helps the world having the interaction.

The present study aims to analyze three distinct functional styles of language: conversational, scientific, and literary, examining the activation of language functions within each style and identifying their predominant function(s).

It is worth noting that their placement somewhat at opposite ends of the stylistic domains targeted was a motivating factor in our research choice. In interpersonal communication

The API exploits higher-order functions and types to reduce the amount of glue code needed to use an embedded interpreter. Where embedding in C requires a special-purpose “glue function” for ev

Abstract:

Previous comparisons of language and morality have taken a cognitively internalist (i.e., within-minds) perspective. We take a socially externalist (i.e., between-minds) perspective, viewing both language and morality as forms of social action. During human evolution, social cognitive adaptations for cooperation evolved, including cooperative communication (social acts to mentally coordinate with others for common goals) and social normativity (social acts to regulate cooperative social relationships).
