I It is well known that in world linguistics, NTRODUCTION functionality is interpreted from two points of One of the most popular currents of view. The first interpretation stems from the structuralism, the Prague structuralists, who peculiarities of the Prague linguistic school. have a place in the history of world linguistics, Representatives of this school, relying on the regard the word as a product of nominative structure of the language, pay close attention to linguistic activity. In their view, internal and the function of the language and its units. The external events are distinguished through certain term “function” is used here not in the sense of a nominative activities.

Theoretical language is clear and The thesis emphasizes that no phenomenon in complete, often expressed through graphic language can be properly understood without symbols and characters. In particular, the considering the system to which the language language expressed through the scientific belongs, and therefore language must be method has such a feature. approached as a functional system. Matezius admits that the functional and structural concept The polyfunctional occurrence of language units of Prague linguists is based on the ideas of is inextricably linked with their semantic Baudouin de Courtenay and F. de Saussure complexity, syncretism [3,8]. [2,146]. The concept of function was developed In the researches of such scientists as by Prague linguists in their interpretation of M.Mirtojiev, Yo.Tojiev, T.Mirzakulov, J.Eltazarov, language as a functional system. I.Madrahimov, Z.Isakov, N.Kadirova, aimed at one While Baudouin de Courtenay distinguishes or another coverage of the multifunctional between external and internal linguistics, he nature of linguistic units in linguistics [4; 5; 6; 7; strongly opposes the study of language in 8; 9; 10] provides valuable insights into the isolation from non-linguistic beings. He therefore different functions of certain units in the speech pays special attention to the study of the process. relationship between literary language and folk While Prague linguists pay special attention to dialects. Prague linguists developed these views function, they emphasize that there are different of Baudouin. They emphasize that no language functions of speech activity, each of which must lives in a space, that it exists among the language correspond to different functional languages. The community, that it lives to meet the theory of language functions and the issue of communicative and expressive needs of the functional differentiation of literary language community. It is for this reason that Prague associated with it occupy an important place in linguists show that speech activity performs two the scientific and practical work of the main functions: 1) social function (relationship representatives of the Prague School of between individuals); 2) expressive function Linguistics. Prague linguists paid special (expression of excitement, influence on the attention to the functional study of all levels of speaker). The social function of speech activity, language units. in turn, is further divided into two groups: 1) information function. In this case, the whole In the second interpretation, the concept of attention of the speaker is focused on the functionalit
