Abstract

Language is increasingly recognized as a multi-dimensional system composed of interacting structural and functional layers. Rather than existing as a uniform entity, language operates through interconnected phonological, lexical, grammatical, semantic, and pragmatic levels. This research examines language layers as a central theoretical issue in linguistics and evaluates their role in meaning construction and communication. Using descriptive and analytical approaches, the study demonstrates that linguistic meaning emerges through the interaction of multiple layers. The results indicate that understanding language layers contributes significantly to linguistic theory, discourse analysis, and modern language pedagogy.
