Selection Typical

Typical selection (typological selection) is the process of choosing from a number of typical language units (words, phraseological units, proverbs) that are close in semantics and most adequate to a given situation. This selection is carried out based on conditions and factors:

1. Context: For example, the phrase "Hello, Elena" can be used as a formal greeting, or more informal. Depending on the context in which the phrase is used, it may be clear which form is customary to use for the greeting. For example, if we are in a formal setting, then the formal address "Hello, Elena" will probably be the most appropriate option. On the other hand, the informal address "Hello, Lena" can be used for more casual communication. 2. Purpose: for what purpose, to perform what actions. We all face situations like: a) contacting a specialist, b) visiting an institution, c) telephone call, etc. For all these situations, we can choose some generalized expression - a form of address, for example, hello, goodbye, how are you, excuse me and etc. Each time it is important to find its meaning that would correspond to a specific situation. With such a “reading”, a unit of language could be attributed to both the one and the other set and at the same time belong neither to the same nor to the other, since these two were combined in it. These linguistic units, included in two different aggregates, at one specific stage of development had to be connected, subordinate to each other, or pushed aside so that the unity known to us would arise.
