The Style of Emphasis, Meaning and Purpose in the Kurdish Language

Abstract

Affirmation refers to the confirmation of a fact, and is often used to provide evidence or confirmation of the truth of something and increase confidence, and is one of the language methods and is widely used to emphasize and explain the meaning. The aim of this research is to understand the methods of affirmation in the Kurdish language that have not been studied yet. This research explains many topics, including: What is affirmation and how is it done in the Kurdish language? Its methods and types were also described, in addition to the purposes of its use. We later concluded that the meaning of affirmation can be seen on the semantic and pragmatic levels, because there are two types of affirmation: explicit verbal affirmation belongs to the semantic level, and implicit affirmation belongs to the pragmatic category.
