Abstract:
This research is an initial exploration into the foundational
branches of philosophy (axiology, ontology, and epistemology)
and their profound implications for the philosophy of language.
Investigating the contemporary study of language, the research
examines five dissertations to uncover the interplay of these
three philosophical domains. The research addresses three key
questions: the domains within the philosophy of language covered by the dissertations, the featured interconnection of axiology, ontology, and epistemology in these dissertations, and the
development of these domains to bolster arguments. The objectives include discerning how researchers describe these domains in relation to language philosophy, exploring the possibility of discussing a single domain without engaging the others,
and fostering an objective discussion of language philosophy
within an academic context. The research's significance lies in
contributing to a comprehensive understanding of language, its
relationship with users and the world, and how the three philosophical domains sustain language existence. It aims to enrich
the study of language philosophy for students, particularly those
in English Applied Linguistics programs, by emphasizing the correlations between philosophy and language characteristics, acquisition, planning, and translation. The research employs a
qualitative approach, analyzing dissertations from a philosophical perspective. Findings reveal that the interconnection of axiology, ontology, and epistemology is intricate, challenging the initial assumption of discussing them separately. Notably, the dissertations exhibit varied emphasis on the three domains. The
study concludes with valuable insights into the philosophy of
language, highlighting the pivotal role of language in shaping reality, conveying experiences, and expressing cultural influences.
The dynamic nature of language and the reciprocal relationship
between language and philosophy underscore the need for an
open-minded approach and continual engagement in discussions surrounding language philosophy. The research recommends incorporating philosophy as a mandatory course in university curricula to nurture a holistic understanding of language
and its philosophical underpinnings.
