Student: Stakovskii Elisei

Educational Programme: Philology (Bachelor)

Final Grade: 7

Year of Graduation: 2020

In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the 15 main reasons why parallel studies were conducted, and the results of the study with data from Sandrine Zufferey, Santana Kovarrubias, Mirny Pete and Fang Li. Despite the fact that the methodology of our research and the specifics of the UN corps did not allow us to answer more fundamental questions, to identify cross-linguistic perspectives, on the basis of indicators of mutual correspondence between the connectors of five languages, we can identify three main paradigmatic categories: neutral and objective connectors, subjectively Neutral connectors and subjective connectors. As a result of our study, we received complete information about the possibilities for further development of the UN.
