The Concept of the Orthological Minimum and its role in Linguistics

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive definition of the concept of the orthological minimum and analyzes its role in linguistics. The orthological minimum constitutes the practical foundation of speech culture and ensures that language users communicate in a literate and effective manner. The study examines the phonetic, lexical, grammatical, and stylistic norms that form part of the orthological minimum and demonstrates the necessity of their accurate, appropriate, and contextually relevant use in the process of communication.
