Origins Of Grammar Research Articles

Лингвофилософская концепция В.И. Абаева и осетино-кабардино-балкарские идеосеманти-ческие параллели

The article is devoted to the linguophilosophical concept of the outstanding Russian theorist, his-torian and philosopher of language, the largest Iranian scholar Vasily Ivanovich Abaev. The as-pects of the author’s linguophilosophical concept are presented based on two works by V.I. Abaev: “Reflection of the work of consciousness in the lexico-semantic system of language” (1970) and “Language as ideology and language as technique” (1934). In these works, he pays special atten-tion to the problem of the origin of human language. The theory of the origin of language itself, in his opinion, should be based on an optimal scientific theory that proceeds from the correct theo-retical premises and is consistent with the available empirical data. To explain the origin of a lan-guage, it is not the grammar of the language that is important, but the subject–significant vocabu-lary, as he believes that the origin of vocabulary is a single and integral problem, and the origin of grammar is inevitably divided into several particular issues. Language, according to V.I.Abaev, arose not from biological, but from the social needs of a person, from the need to relate things to their collective, to impose their own “brand” on them. Special attention is paid to the concept of ideosemantics, firstly introduced by V.I. Abaev in-to scientific circulation. He distinguishes two types of semantics: small semantics (or signal, technical), which includes a mandatory minimum of semantic functions that determine the mod-ern communicative use of the word, and large semantics, which is the sum of those concomitant cognitive and emotional representations that reflect the complex inner life of the word in its past and present. He defined this broader understanding of semantics by the term “ideosemantics”. Id-eosemantics, according to V. Abaev, is the most important criterion for the historical characteriza-tion of linguistic phenomena. V. Abaev sees the value of language at an early stage of its for-mation in its “ethnodemarkation function”. In conclusion, the article presents ideosemantic parallels in three genetically and structurally diverse languages: Ossetian, Kabardino-Circassian and Karachay-Balkar.

Probing and Division and its Effect on the Origins of Grammar: A Theoretical Practical Study

This paper attempts to uncover the truth of probing and division, its importance and types, and on this basis the grammatical material was classified, its most prominent phenomena were discussed, and concluded with a statement of the effect of probing and division on the origins of Arabic grammar. The nature of the research, after examining its main ideas, necessitated its division into three topics, preceded by an introduction, and ending with a conclusion. The Introduction includes the importance of the research, its motives, its problem, its questions, its methodology, and previous studies. The first section is devoted to the linguistic and idiomatic meaning of probing and division.The second is concerned with the truth of probing and division, its importance and types and the third tackles probing and division applications in linguistic origins. The research part is the conclusion which sums up the findings of the study.

Robert Watson’s Lectures at St. Andrews: Logic, Rhetoric and Metaphysics

Examines the contributions to rhetoric of Robert Watson (1730?-1781), Professor of Logic, Rhetoric, and Metaphysics at the University of St. Andrews from1756-1778, and Principal from 1778-1781, based on surviving manuscript sources at St Andrews, and demonstrates the philosophic diversity in rhetorical theory at this time, showing differences among the Scottish literati on the epistemology of language and the origin of grammar, identifying some contrasts and connections between Watson and his near contemporaries Adam Smith, Hugh Blair, and George Campbell, and suggesting his distinctive place in the development of 18th century rhetoric and the history of English studies.

Event parsing and the origins of grammar.

How did grammar evolve? Perhaps a better way to ask the question is what kind of cognition is needed to enable grammar. The present analysis departs from the observation that linguistic communication is structured in terms of agents and patients, a reflection of how humans see the world. One way to explore the origins of cognitive skills in humans is to compare them with primates. A first approach has been to teach great apes linguistic systems to study their production in subsequent conversations. This literature has revealed considerable semantic competences in great apes, but no evidence for a corresponding grammatical ability, at least in production. No ape has ever created a sentence with an underlying causal structure of agency and patienthood. A second approach has been to study natural communication in primates and other animals. Here, there is intermittent evidence of compositionality, for example, a capacity to perform operations on semantic units, but again no evidence for an ability to refer to the causal structure of events. Future research will have to decide whether primates and other animals are simply unable to see the world as casually structured the way humans do, or whether they are just unable to communicate causal structures to others.This article is categorized under:Cognitive Biology > Evolutionary Roots of CognitionComputer Science and Robotics > Artificial IntelligenceLinguistics > Evolution of Language

تلخيص كتاب "في أصول النحو" لسعيد محمد أحمد الأفغاني

The researcher summarized a book from Saeed Al-Afghani’s books, entitled “On the Origins of Grammar,” which is a set of lectures written by Saeed Al-Afghani for students of the College of Arts - Department of Arabic Language - in the hands of the Grammar and Morphology Curriculum in the Arabic Language Science Certificate, and they are arranged in succession as follows: (the protest, analogy, derivation, and the disagreement between the Basrians and the Kufics). This book aims to enrich the historical view of language, grammar and morphology for the reader; As this view is no less important than knowing the rules of the language, exchanging them and towards them, it is necessary to know the path that the ancients took in formulating those rules. Recognizing their efforts helps in meeting the linguistic need of the age represented by keeping pace with scientific and civilizational developments that require linguistic development to find alternatives from the heritage. Or by following the methods of the early scholars for the huge amount of scientific, technical and civilized terms, in addition to facilitating grammar except for what can be excluded for the learner while preserving the grammar in its details, history, modern and old, to study with specialists in universities and institutes, so it became important that Know the means of the ancients and are viewed.

Se equivocó el masoreta ¿se equivocaba?

This article has a didactic purpose; it is not aimed at scholars of the Masora but rather at researchers in closely associated areas. The editions of Hebrew Biblical manuscripts and critical studies that have been published recently are particularly useful tools for those who wish to delve into other areas of research such as the history of the Hebrew Biblical text, its exegesis or the origins of grammar. Here, the author concentrates on the analysis of three issues: variant formulations of a same information; coherence between a text and its Masorah, and the possible discrepancies among sources.

The origins of grammar in the verbalization of experience

Why is there grammar? The verbalization of experience can provide an explanatory model of the function of grammatical categories and constructions. Chafe's model of verbalization provides a model of how the unanalyzed, unique whole of experience is broken up into parts that are categorized into types, that is, the lexical roots of an utterance. We add further processes to Chafe's model, because the speaker also must convert the types represented by the lexical roots back to the particulars of the experience, and put the parts back together into the original whole. These additional processes express the aspects of experience that become grammaticalized. A functional classification of grammatical categories and structures in terms of their role in verbalization is outlined.
