Abstract

The scientific research is devoted to the issue of linguistic terminology for an in-depth study of the functional essence of the concept of “language” in a historical aspect. This article is one of a series of articles devoted to the problems of evolution and the laws of the process of development of the functional essence of the concept of “language” in human life and society in different historical periods (from antiquity to the present day). The proposed study presents research and an analysis of the scientific heritage of Michael Alexander Kirkwood Halliday, one of the leading European functionalists of the 20th century. The scientist paid much attention to the issue of using language in the processes of formation, reflection, and accumulation of information in human life and society. The article presents an information analysis of the concept of “language” in the personal understanding of M.A.K. Halliday: analysis, systematization, and synthesis of the functional essence of this concept, developed by the basic laws and patterns of information cognition: identification and systematization of the elements of the characteristic structure according to the essential and “core” meanings of the functional essence of the concept of “language” in a generalized form with a general information element inside according to the structure of the explanatory formula of concept content (EFCC). According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the functional essence of the concept of “language” M.A.K. Halliday’s understanding is to ensure communicative processes in society: the formation and maintenance of “social communication” and “social relations” to ensure the vital activity of society; solving the problems of understanding reality, cognition, formation, encoding/decoding, and fixation of information by human consciousness in subject-object and/or subject-subject relations to ensure the continuity of knowledge in the history of mankind; to solve pedagogical problems; to form discourse and differentiate meaning into intellectual and interpersonal; to develop, stabilize, and manage the life of mankind itself.
