AZERBAYCAN DİLİNDE ŞAHIS VE İŞARET ZAMİRLERİNİN PRAGMATİK ÖZELLİKLERİ
PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF PERSONAL AND DEMOSTRATIVE PRONOUNS IN THE AZERBAIJANIAN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the pragmatic power of personal and demonstrative pronouns in the Azerbaijani language, extending beyond their formal-grammatical framework. The research analyzes the connection between pragmatics, considered a modern aspect of linguistics, and contextual meaning, particularly in relation to personal and demonstrative pronouns. Generally, pronouns in Azerbaijani do not have a fixed meaning; they acquire their meaning only within the context of the text. Therefore, they are significant pragmatic elements capable of not only replacing other word types in the language but also controlling the communication space between speaker and listener. Pragmatics, above all, examines the relationship between linguistic forms and those who use them. Since pragmatics examines meaning within context, context must be considered and kept in mind when studying pronouns. Personal pronouns refer to different individuals, while demonstrative pronouns are used in some cases to refer to a person, an object, and in most cases, to indicate near and far distances and time.
