Language in Grammar and Language in History: மொழியில் இலக்கணமும் – வரலாற்றில் மொழியும்

Abstract

Language functions as a tool for information exchange and is intricately interwoven with human existence. In society, language is an inseparable part of human beings. It is impossible to view society without language, or language without society. The body of language undergoes changes in some way or another over time. This change should be considered as an advancement in accordance with the times. The structure of language undoubtedly varies from society to society. Although the body of language is generally used by each society, it is accepted by the community in the form of spoken language. A mother tongue, encompassing all regional dialects, can be considered to possess written form as its common characteristic. Here, the written form should be considered a refined version of the spoken form. How this written form is used in language society can be understood from the literary and grammatical texts that arise in each era. This article aims to establish how language has changed and functioned over time, how grammar is used to study language, how language has been historically important, based on the postmodern theory of deconstruction and reconstruction as inherent in language, and how history cannot be viewed without language.
