Category Shifts in the Chinese–English Translation of Animal Idioms in Journey to the West

Idioms are important elements of language and culture, forming the essence of language and the core of vocabulary. Animal idioms naturally have different connotations in the Chinese and Western cultures, which can pose a tremendous challenge for translators. Thus, the reasons for translators’ choices in this context are significant. To better understand this subject, this study investigates the cognitive category shifts in the translations of animal idioms in Journey to the West. Through the theory of cognitive category shifts, the paper finds that translators’ choices are influenced by cognitive concepts derived from their living environments, cultural backgrounds, and knowledge reserves.

Mari Berbicara Dengan Bahasa Yang Benar Dan Etis di Ruang Digital Untuk Siswa SMA Laboratorium UPGRIS Semarang

This community service aims to provide discourse and provide an understanding of the importance of speaking correctly and ethically in the digital space. This is important because the increasing development of technology in the digital era has resulted in new breakthroughs in social media and the like. Social Media (digital media) is a means of communication for the world community that relatively closes the distance between one region and another, which makes it very easy for users to interact with anyone, so correct and ethical language procedures are needed when communicating in the digital space. A language is considered correct if it is a mixture of six types of digital language (EYD Indonesian, mass media language, social media, digital community, emojis, and machine language), masters digital literacy, is polite, does not violate the law, and gives kindness. Meanwhile, language politeness, which is called language etiquette or language ethics, is basically the speaker's attitude towards the interlocutor which is manifested in the use of language. The essence of language or speaking is respect for oneself, other people, differences of opinion, values and norms, multiculturalism and pluralism

Поэтичность техники: переосмысливая Хайдеггера в условиях позднего капитализма

The article is devoted to the problem of the relationship between technology and poetry, first posed in contemporary philosophy by Martin Heidegger. Due to the qualitative changes in technology and the transition from industrial capitalism to post-industrial capitalism this issue becomes relevant again. Since the philosophy of technology has long focused on the problem of the machine, it should be put in a more modern context. The research reconstructs the contradictions defined by the Heideggerian philosophy of technology between technology and poetry, understood as the essence of language and creative activity. The paper shows that modern technology, which primarily involves the communicative abilities of an employee, largely eliminates the contradiction between technical and poetic in the field of art and labor. This makes it necessary to rethink the role of technology in the process of achieving harmony between technology and language. Thus, the author concludes that although the phenomenon of alienation persists, technology can become a means to overcome it, provided that it is appropriately articulated.

The development of the analytical philosophy of language from the problem of meaning to the theory of speech acts

The subject of the study is the development of the analytical philosophy of language in the twentieth century from the problem of meaning, which was central to the logic of G. Frege, in logical positivism and in the philosophy of B. Russell, to the theory of speech acts, that is, the development from semantics to pragmatics. The main attention is focused on such problems as the problem of the essence of language, the problem of meaning and reference, the nature of communication, and the theory of speech acts. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the concepts of meaning in different representatives of analytical philosophy. A special place is given in this context to the ideas of L. Wittgenstein and H. Putnam's. It is also important to find out the reasons for the transition of analytical philosophy to communication problems. The specific features of the concepts of speech acts by such thinkers as D. Austin and D. Searle are also considered. The article uses such research methods as historical and philosophical analysis, socio-critical, as well as comparative methods. The novelty of the research lies in identifying how philosophers followed the path of updating and deepening the problem of meaning and reference, as well as what the specifics of each solution are. The changes that took place in the philosophy of language in the twentieth century, introduced, first of all, by L. Wittgenstein during the "linguistic turn", are considered. Significant innovations introduced into the descriptive-analytical linguistic theory of speech acts related to the names of D. Austin and D. Searle are also shown. Austin's characterized and classified speech acts, D. Searle's combined the problem of speech communication with the problem of intentionality, as a fundamental ability of human consciousness. A critical flaw in the theory of speech acts is pointed out: in fact, it does not explain the nature of dialogue, since it presents a variety of monologues.

Study of stable expressions by comparing phraseological units of the Russian and English languages

The main content of this study is the analysis of stable expressions in Russian and English. The article reveals the content of the concept of "phraseology", it examines the classification of phraseological units in modern linguistics, describes the problems that can be encountered when translating phraseological units from one language to another. Special attention is paid to the difference of phraseological variants in the context of interlanguage study, as well as the relationship between language and culture, national understanding of mentality, the essence of language, the need for scientific study of the communicative function of society in cognitive and discursive aspects. The purpose of the study is to analyze phraseological phrases in Russian and English, to identify their stylistic and grammatical features. The structural and semantic characteristics of phraseological units of the Russian and English languages and the principles of their classification are considered. Special attention is paid to the regularities of the functioning of phraseological units in the system of modern linguistics. It is argued that the conclusions obtained as a result of this study are important for intercultural understanding and communication, as well as for effective learning of foreign languages. The author proves the urgent need to improve the stylistic literacy of teachers and students, translators, lexicographers, and also emphasizes the importance of phraseological research in the context of demonstrating the relationship between language and society.

THE CULTURAL AND INTEGRATIVE ROLE OF THE SYMBOLIC SYSTEM OF LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION IN DETERMINING THE SOCIAL POLICY OF UKRAINE: INTERDISCIPLINARY GLOBALIZATION DISCOURSE

The relevance of the review study arises due to the need to understand the role of language communication in the era of globalization against the background of world economic, socio-political and environmental crises, when a new linguistic picture of the world, a new person and a new quality of life are being formed. In the process of research, we came to the conclusions that (1) clarifying the essence of language as a product of activity, and as the phenomenon of activity itself, showed that social political, ecological and economic processes, as well as problems are to a certain extent the products of linguistic phenomena. Taking these circumstances into account is a necessary condition for the development of Ukraine's social policy. (2) Today, it can be stated that the linguistic paradigmatic turn in the national Ukrainian discourse raised awareness of the importance of sign, language, thinking and culture to a new level, marked by close attention to the revival of Ukrainian ethnic culture in parallel with active intercultural communication against the general background of globalization. (3). Modern sociolinguistic research does not provide a clear picture of the nationalization of linguistic and communicative culture under the conditions of world globalization processes. Instead, it is safe to say that each epoch has its own language and its own specific possibilities of discourse. That is, language and language communication are both an interconnected whole organism and a dynamic, constantly changing, variable system that always creates a problem of understanding. And in periods when the dialogue of eras is destroyed, the problem of understanding is especially relevant, which is observed during globalization that we experience today. (4). Language reserve of probable language communication in solving the problems of understanding and misunderstanding in the existance of ethnic groups consist in the close interaction of their cultures. Communicative interaction of languages and cultures leads not only to intensive information exchange, which occurs at the stage of globalization and the information revolution, but also to an equal dialogue (polylogue) of cultures in the future to jointly solve global human problems on our planet.

Heidegger as a Colonial Thinker: Puritanism and Germany’s Errand into the Wilderness

In the turbulent 1930s, Martin Heidegger gave a lecture on “Logic as the Question Concerning the Essence of Language.” Upon close inspection, this text expounds a form of covenantal thinking guided by the Puritan theme of an errand into the wilderness. The proffered analysis shows how Heidegger invokes a poetic conception of colony to reconfigure Germany’s self-image as a culture nation in search of a “new past.” What can be gleaned from this account is a central but neglected link between Heidegger’s thought and colonial discourse, in uneasy proximity to a special form of eschatological racism which divides humanity into spiritual classes marked by varying degrees of fitness for salvation.

LANGUAGE REFLECTION IN A RELIGIOUS PICTURE OF THE WORLD

The appeal to the religious picture of the world is due to the fact that religion, being a traditional form of worldview, is acquiring a new spiritual beginning in world space today. The religious picture of the world proceeds from the difference between being in itself and existence i.e., a world possessing being by its creation. The religious picture of the world is dualistic, since it contrasts the absolute, supernatural being, solemn with God, to the whole variety of natural things endowed with being. By recognizing the existing role of religious consciousness in the life of mankind, as well as analyzing religious vocabulary, one can determine the national values and consciousness of the people. The basis of religious consciousness is the religious picture of the world, which serves as a criterion of the essence of language and religion. In this regard, theolinguistics requires an analysis of sacred religious vocabulary and religious texts.

Application of Cognitive Linguistics Theory and New Interpretation of Second Language Teaching

Application of cognitive linguistics theory and new interpretation of second language teaching studied. The concept of language acquisition based on cognitive linguistics theory overcomes the limitations of Universal Grammar at the theoretical level, and has a strong explanatory power to the essence of language and language learning. It has been favored by many scholars in the field of linguistics. The more frequently a learner is exposed to a certain construction in language input, the easier it is to solidify this construction in the memory of the brain. Thus, the distribution of semantic-semantic mappings in L2 input largely affects acquisition trajectories. Hence, this paper gives the new suggestions regarding the traditional study patterns for the improvement.

Modelling of factors underlying the evolution of human language

A central question in the evolution of human language is how it emerged. Based on recent research across disciplines, we identified three processes proposed as potential driving factors behind the evolution of ‘modern’ language phenotype: i) a reduction in reactive aggression entailing a boost in prosociality and cooperation, ii) a change in early brain growth trajectory that impacted structures like the cerebellum and striatum, and thus likely impacted the (procedural) memory circuits these regions support, and iii) a demographic expansion of H. sapiens during the Middle Pleistocene. While extensively researched on their own, the interaction between these three processes has yet to be investigated systematically. We develop an abstract agent-based model to interrogate the relationship between these three factors and how they influence transmission of information within a population, which we take to be the essence of language. The model abstracts linguistic capacity to an ‘array of skills’ and investigates under what conditions the number of skills increases. The results demonstrate that there is an optimal degree of cooperation and memory capacity at which the amount of transmitted information is the highest. Our model also shows that separate linguistic communities arise under circumstances where individuals have high levels of memory capacity and there is at least a certain degree of non-cooperation. In contrast, we find no significant direct effects for population size in the process of linguistic community formation. Taken together, these results highlight the explanatory benefits of combining insights from cognitive science, archaeology, and computational modelling.

THE MEANINGFULNESS OF LINGUISTIC EXPRESSIONS FROM THE TRUTH-CONDITIONAL THEORY OF MEANING (A METALINGUAL SYUDY)

Meaning is the essence of language. It has been one of the main concerns in the study of language since the age of Plato and Aristotle. There have been various theories of meaning but only a few explains ‘what one knows when s/he is said to know the meaning of linguistic expressions’. Truth-conditional theory of meaning is one of them – not to say the only theory of meaning – which explains ‘what one knows when s/he is said to know the meaning of linguistic expressions’. However, it has been little paid attention to by theorists working on linguistic meaning since the decline of the ideal language philosophy. It happens so because it is basically misunderstood, i.e. the misunderstanding between linguistic proposition and epistemic proposition in the correspondence theory of truth. This paper revives the significance of the truth-conditional theory of meaning in understanding what constitutes the meaning of linguistic expressions when one is said to know it.

OFFICIAL NAME “FULL-SCALE INVASION” DENOTATION “MILITARY ACTIONS IN UKRAINE: 2014 – 2023”: SEMANTICS, AXIOLOGY, CORRELATION

The article is devoted to the analysis of the nominative and axiological paradigm of the denotation “military actions in Ukraine: 2014 – 2023”. On the basis of the linguistic concept of the lexical-semantic dimension of the linguistic picture of the world, based on the doctrine of the mental and lingual essence of language, its objective and subjective content, official and unofficial names of the event are distinguished. The official names of the military actions in Ukraine in 2022-2023, which include the adjective full-scale and the nouns invasion and war, were chosen as the object of the study. Their specific characteristics are distinguished, systematic functional-temporal correlative relations between them are established, lexical-semantic, actually semantic correlative relations of the researched units with those in which the constructive position is filled by the nouns of confrontation, conflict, attack are clarified against the axiological background of pejorativeness, aggression. Due regard is paid to the syntactic structures with the grammatically dominant component war, which, despite the official status of the syntactic structures full-scale invasion, full-scale war, have a high degree of productivity and claim to occupy a space as an alternative, universally accepted name of the event under study. Specific representatives of constructions with a deterministic invasion constituent are characterized in detail in the form of simple submodels (“full-scale invasion” / “driving force”, “full-scale invasion” / “event location”, “full-scale invasion” / “event time”) or complex (“full-scale invasion” / “driving force” / “event location”, “full-scale invasion” / “driving force” / “event time”, “full-scale invasion” / “driving force” / “event location” / “event time”). These models are identified by the type of semantic reference of pre-substantive concretizes with integrative schemas “participant(s) of the event”, “place of the event”, “time of the event”.

АНГЛИЙСКИЕ РЕКУРРЕНТНЫЕ СТРУКТУРЫ КАК ГРАММАТИЧЕСКИЕ КОНСТРУКЦИИ

The article is focused on English grammatical constructions considered within the framework of cognitive-discourse analysis and viewed along the perspectives of Construction Grammar theory. The analysis is directed upon recurrent structures in English, i.e. structures that are regularly produced and therefore functionally significant for the English language, considered as idiomatic unity of form and meaning, and, as a rule, having propositional content. The study of the constructional features of language units is supplemented by mental schematization of their content based on the idea that the structures under analysis represent the language techniques employed in interpreting referent scenes. The grammar of constructions as a research issue dealing with organizing language units that belong to various linguistic subsystems (phonological structure, lexicon, grammar), has become the subject of quite a number of cognitively and structurally oriented research (called, for example, constructional grammar, linguistics of constructions, Construction Grammar). The study of recurrent linguistic units from the point of view of their structural and cognitive features allows us to consider the types of organization of linguistic units that are regularly reproduced in a language in a semiotic aspect: the content plan of constructions is propositions (or their contractions) as concepts of referent situations comprehended by the speaker. From the point of view of the specificity of a particular language, it is significant to involve in the study of the material of the English language, in which the constructional mechanisms are more obvious than, for example, in the Russian language, due to the fact that tendencies towards analyticism and features of the isolating system have become typologically significant in English. For this reason, the study of the structural features of linguistic units in the English language, it seems, can bring some clarity to the specifics of its structural organization. Since modern linguistic theory has a poly-paradigmatic character, several of its most important interpretations are closely intertwined in the study of the essence of language. They include the perspective of its interpretation as a cognitive mechanism, as a verbal semiotic system and as an ethnocultural socio-discursive phenomenon. In modern studies, the structural features of linguistic units are supplemented by the aspect of mental schematization of their content. Mental schemes fix the mental images of cognizable situations formed in consciousness - mental representations, which can then be described in terms of different types of schemes in the Bartlett sense (situations, scenes, scenarios, frames, etc.). The research material is examples of English structures extracted during a targeted sample from the British National English Corpus, as well as from Internet sites. The main methods of analysis are semantic, conceptual and collocation. The aim of the study is to find procedures for analyzing the structures of the English language that meet the criteria for grammatical structures, as well as to identify a general approach to the analysis of syntactic and word-formation types of structures. As the main results of the study, conclusions are proposed about the essence of categorizing and semiotic functions of recurrent structures, which seem to most fully demonstrate the conceptual essence of the analyzed structures.

Communicative tact and its components

The term communicative tact reveals the bifunctional essence of language – information is transmitted in two steps: the speaker encodes it with language, and the listener decodes it with language. A strong share of the communicative tact consists in the linguization and objectification of the speaker's thoughts in the text, and a weak share is in segmentation, dissection and dissociation of the text to the listener. Following Vygotsky, idea1 is distinguished as a process of imaginative thinking by concepts and idea2 as a process of verbal thinking. The first part of the strong lobe is the speaker's process of translating idea1 into idea3 (inner speech). The second part of the communicative tact is the objectification of idea3 into idea2, embodied in the text (air vibrations unfolding in time (cf. the Saussure’s linearity of the linguistic sign). The text connects the speaker with the listener. The distribution of the text by the listener consists in segmenting the text into signifying signs and in the transition from signifiers to signified. The process of decoupling a message consists in turning a idea3 (internal speech) into a idea1 (concept), which is moved to permanent memory and stored in it.

ЗМІНА ПАРАДИГМАЛЬНОГО ВЕКТОРА СУЧАСНОГО МОВОЗНАВСТВА: ДЕЯКІ МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ МІРКУВАННЯ

The ideas of the evolutionary-informational-phenomenological paradigm of linguistic research are under investigation. The current state of linguistic science is analyzed in the context of the development of the latest stage of scientific knowledge, which is characterized by a significant expansion of the conceptual space of research, the interpenetration of disparate scientific paradigms, epistemes and methods, and the blurring of boundaries between different areas of knowledge. The urgent need for intellectualization of equipment and technology is emphasized, caused, first, by the information and network crisis. It is emphasized that the belief that intelligence is a form of individualization of systems, which possesses a language status, is being strengthened in the professional community. In this connection, research hypotheses are formulated, which should form the basis of modern linguistic research. The first hypothesis concerns the informational essence of language. The second claims that the presence of language status is a necessary condition for intelligence. The third arises from the evolutionary nature of the emergence of language. If you think consistently, it is a consequence and a product of social, biological, and general evolution of nature and society. Modern linguistics, having realized that the object of its research — language — is evolutionary, has an informational nature, and in the substantive sense is a carrier of intelligence, faced a cardinal problem for itself: to realize and understand at a fundamental level the nature of the emergence and formation of connections between language and intelligence (and vice versa). The general theory of evolution in its author’s version, which is based on the phenomenological concept of complexity, was chosen as the main methodological base. Three main laws of evolution are presented the law of increasing complexity (a necessary condition for evolution), the law of temporal dynamics of complexity, and the law of anticipatory growth of the so-called «parasitic» complexity. The application of the theory of evolution as a research methodology allows finding out the evolutionary connections between the neural and communication mechanisms of evolution — on the one hand, and other mechanisms on the other. Trace, as far as possible, the evolutionary retrospective of the mentioned connections and the limits of intellectual monopoly claims (anthropocentric, on the one hand, and technotronic, on the other). The next methodological principle is related to the mechanism of extracting from the continuous flow of reality complexes of discrete language units that are carriers of certain semantic properties. The phenomenological basis for this is provided by the information phenomenon of an extremely general nature that we discovered, which we call the lexicographic effect in information systems and which reveals the mechanism of generation from the language continuum of certain discrete complexes sufficient for an adequate representation of reality. This phenomenon provides a theoretical basis for modern processes of digitization, which have acquired a comprehensive character. The last principle of research in the new paradigm is the definition of system-creating components of the concept of system, namely: «Structure», «Substance» and «Subject». The complex of concepts «information», «intelligence», «evolution», «system» and «lexicographic effect» forms the conceptual environment of the evolutionaryinformational- phenomenological paradigm, which provides an epistemological balance between empiricism and metaphysics and introduces the methodology of linguistics to the circle of close methodological principles natural and information technology sciences.

ქართველურ ენათა ლინგვისტური ანოტაცია: I. სახელები (პრობლემები და მათი გადაჭრის გზები)

The international standards of morphemic analysis of texts have outlined completely new prospects of research for the languages with rich morphological structurebecause typological linguistics systematizes and classifies language facts and phenomena based on the structural content and the number of structural markers. The unity of these markers is relevant for the definition of the essence of language as such, the very phenomenon of language. Morphologically, of great interest with regard to any language are the noun and the verb, because they are structural units of ample syntagmatic data. This proves the importance of the outcomes of morphemic analysis, as well as the vast grammatical capacity of these parts of speech. Kartvelian languages embrace the empirical material of four languages (Georgian, Megrelian, Laz and Svan) with diverse and multifunctional morphemic data. Their systemic research is urgent, important and vital for the definition of the typology of Kartvelian languages as well as for the general typological research. Modern challenges have created the need for the new,reliable and knowledge-based research product that will meet contemporary international standards. Linguistic morphological analysis is carried out based on the synchronic data. Due to the morphonological changes peculiar of nominal stems, we should take into account the diachronic-etymological factors in order to identify the original forms and meanings of words. The problems of linguistic annotation of the nominal parts of speech in Kartvelian languages are analyzed based on the grammatical categories of case and number:The issues of segmentation and qualification of the nominal parts of speech with postpositions are discussed with reference to all the four Kartvelian languages.In Megrelian and Laz, especially in Megrelian, the definition-identification of the nominal stem is specific with regard to the following:a. The former genitive cases (secondary cases).b. Due to the phonetic insertion in the singular and plural forms (the insertion that separates consonants or vowels).c. Due to the phonetic transformation of the stem and the case-marker.d. Due to the changes in some case-markers caused by phonetic rules.In Megrelian anthroponyms (maiden names) a gender suffix -ხე /xe/ is usually found.It is traditionally considered that Svan nouns are more complex than Svan verbs. This opinion is based on the existence of two/three stems in the Svan declension system and the existence of double declension paradigm. The empirical material is diverse, taking into account the dialectal data as well. Out of Kartvelian languages, only Svan has the so-called “prepositional-postpositional“ cases. Such forms express semantic nuances, and, in this, they are close to double local cases found in the highland dialects of the Svan language. The lexical-grammatical patterns denoting names of clans-families are also extremely diverse in the Svan langauge.In the process of annotation (segmentation-marking) of the nominal lexemes, alongside with formal data, we should take into account the semantic peculiarities. Besides, description-qualification of the formal mechanisms of nominal parts of speech will be complete and accurateonly if it reflects the outcomes of the phonetic transformation of forms. Annotation, including morphological annotation, is conventional (achieved on the basis of agreement). However, the theoretical foundation should be consistent, especially in condition of diverse opinions.

The Language Conceptual Formation to Inspire Intelligent Systems

The semantic web invests in systems that work collaboratively. In this article we show that the collaborative way is not enough, because the system must ‘understand’ the data resources that are provided to it, to organize them in the direction indicated by the system’s core, the algorithm. In order for intelligent systems to imitate human cognition, in addition to technical skills to model algorithms, we show that the specialist needs a good knowledge of the principles that explain how human language constructs concepts. The content of this article focuses on the principles of the conceptual formation of language, pointing to aspects related to the environment, to logical reasoning and to the recursive process. We used the strategy of superimposing the dynamics of human cognition and intelligent systems to open new frontiers regarding the formation of concepts by human cognition. The dynamic aspect of the recursion of the human linguistic process integrates visual, auditory, tactile input stimuli, among others, to the central nervous system, where meaning is constructed. We conclude that the human linguistic process involves axiomatic (contextual/biological) and logical principles, and that the dynamics of the relationship between them takes place through recursive structures, which guarantee the construction of meanings through long-range correlation under scale invariance. Recursion and cognition are, therefore, interdependent elements of the linguistic process, making it a set of sui generis structures that evidence that the essence of language, whether natural or artificial, is a form and not a substance.

Linguocognitology & Systemology: Integrativity in actu (Theoretical and Methodological Aspects of Interaction)

Introduction . The study analyzes the systemological adequacy of the cognitive approach to language and on this basis suggests a method of cognitive-systemological interpretation of linguistic facts. The cognitive approach is in a good agreement with the functional nature of the object of linguistics. At the same time the theoretical and methodological guidelines of cognitive linguistics allow us to reveal more deeply and holistically the ontological properties of language as a system phenomenon. Methodology and sources . The research tasks involve assessing the role and novelty of cognitive linguistics in description language as a system, in substantiating the significance of interpreting thought-language interaction in the context of certain parameters of the system nature of language and, as a consequence, in developing a possible method of such interpretation. The paper used the axiomatic-deductive method, as well as the descriptive method with its techniques of observation, generalization, systematization and interpretation. In addition, at the stage of presenting the method, we resorted to the modeling its procedure. The research material consists of the methodological principles of cognitive linguistics, philosophical dialectics and general theory of systems presented in domestic and foreign sources. Results and discussion . The analysis of the methodology and subject area of linguocognitology suggests that cognitive models of language have the great explanatory power and completeness in terms of representing this phenomenon as a naturally developing complex and large open-type system. In this sense, linguocognitology appears as a logical continuation of the development of a system approach in linguistics at a new level. The work proposes a structural and logical organization of the method of cognitive- systemological interpretation in the form of a number of procedures. Conclusion . As a result of the conducted searches, the author comes to the conclusion about the practicability of cognitive-systemological interpretation of multilevel phenomena of semantic space, which is due, on the one hand, to the close links of natural language with the cognitive environment and, on the other hand, its system-wide nature. The systemological aspect of the consideration on the cognitive essence of language corresponds both to the ontology of the object itself and to the value orientations of the philosophy of science and the modern paradigm of linguistics. The research aspect, emphasizing the cognitive causality of system parameters or the systemological status of linguistic facts, underlies the identification of two versions of this method.

Paradigm of the Competence of Linguists in the Education System in the Context of Understand-ing the Philosophy of Language

Linguists’ understanding of the language lies mainly in the field of logical and philosophical research related to a deep, exclusively philosophical understanding of reality. The primary purpose of the study is to determine the main aspects of the professional competence of linguists in the context of understanding the philosophy of language through the prism of time and space. Philosophy of language for linguists gives a systematic understanding of language in connection with man and human society spiritual and practical activities of people; it helps to understand the nature and essence of language as a natural system of symbols associated with the real, practical consciousness and thinking of a person; helps to understand better the patterns of functioning and development of the language, as well as the methodological foundations that underlie modern linguistics; integrates theoretical knowledge in linguistics. The methodology includes a set of theoretical and general scientific research methods. As a result of the analysis, the critical elements of the essence of the professional competence of linguists are identified in the context of understanding the philosophy of language through the prism of time and space.
