摘要:AbstractOur work aims to study the valorization of the aphoristic style of expression. We are trying to answer the question whether the aphorism may be a heuristic tool. In order to construe the strength or value of an aphorism, we will resort to the problematological method. The problematological inference is the methodological tool through which the problematological discourse is being investigated as radical interrogativity of the interrogativity itself. In parallel, we are developing the theory on the functions of language. We assert that on top of the four functions of the language (expressive, communicative, descriptive and argumentative) comes the aphoristic function.
