ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF LINGUISTIC UNITS EXPRESSING LINGUISTIC GRADATION BASED ON PARADIGMATIC AND SYNTAGMATIC RELATIONS

In contemporary linguistics, the concept of a system is associated with its function in the communicative process, and the notion of a functional system is advanced. The term "function" conveys the meaning of designation or assignment. Its invariant (syntactic function, semantic function, stylistic function) represents the value of elements used in integral relations. Various linguists classify language functions differently. These include conceptuality, reflecting the speaker's internal and external world experiences; interpersonal relationships, which restore social interactions and influence the listener through evaluation, modality, implication, and others.
