The ancient Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle described the world of emotions. The problem of realization of the emotional function of the Arabic language was reflected in the works of medieval philolog...

The article considers an actual issue of how important is the language aspect in state-building. In history, there are many examples where the language of one of the cities or region became the language of the emerging state and, at the same time, the basis for the formation of its national unity, common culture and identity.

This strategy is effective for many languages meanwhile building robust OC...
