Grammaticalization - Science method

I suppose that you refer to Jespersen work Language: Its Nature, Development and Origin (1922). I have little to say about this book, but as your question also concerns "how Jespersen's work fits within the broader scope of ... modern linguistic studies", I would like to say that his book The Philosophy of Grammar (1924) seems to me to be an important forerunner, still read, to modern typological research in linguistics.

Hi Petra,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful response. Your explanation about the cultural and linguistic differences in subjectification is enlightening. I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed examples and hypotheses from ancient languages and their influences.

Your perspective on how different cultures influence linguistic constructs is incredibly insightful. It's intriguing to consider how the use of suffix-pronouns in Eastern languages might reflect deeper cultural values and how this contrasts with Western linguistic tendencies. Your hypothesis on the algorithmic and logical development of different speech rules due to cultural values is particularly thought-provoking.

Additionally, your point about the homogenization of languages through technological and human movement is something I will definitely ponder further.

Thank you again for your detailed and engaging response.

Warm regards,

Chris

Of course! every good writer should be conscious of the way to attract and sustain the interest of his readers. Syntax, Words, Phontetics, Morphology, Rhetoric give many opportunities to do so. No need to be linguist to have those ways at one's hand. Just pay attention to the rythm of sentences and clauses.

Ismail Noori Mseer Sir,

culture is the full range of learned human behavior patterns. Culture is also defined in terms of intercultural communication. Culture adds to the notion of communicative competence and enlarges it to incorporate intercultural competence. It builds understandings about  their own and others’ cultural traditions, values and beliefs. It involves processes that may lead to an enhanced ability to move between cultures and to cultural change. As Language teacher,culture can be viewed as the customs, traditions or practices that people carry out as part of their everyday lives. Culture refers to knowledge and skills that are more generalize in nature and transferable across cultures. This body of knowledge includes among other things, the concept of culture, the nature of cultural adjustment and learning, the impact of culture on communication and interaction between individuals or groups, the stress associated with intense culture and language immersions , coping strategies for dealing with stress, the role of emotions in cross-cultural, cross-linguistic interactions and so forth.

First thing is you may need to decide your basic vocabulary list based upon ESP. If there is one related to immediate environment of the learners can help bring change faster. I hope it helps!
