An Analysis of the Formation of Regional Linguistic Universals

Abstract

Linguistic universality is prevalent in all languages, and its sources are mainly natural ability, pragmatic function, cognitive psychology, diachronic development and language contact. The commonality of language can be divided into three categories: common language, kinship language and regional linguistic commonality. Based on the linguistic generality theory, this paper analyzes the five main ways of regional linguistic common features formation through the analysis of regional linguistic structure and social function variation.
