Abstract

This essay explores the origins and evolution of articles in language, tracing their development from early linguistic systems to their current usage in various languages around the world. It discusses the emergence of definite and indefinite articles, cross-linguistic variations in article usage, grammaticalization processes, and the influence of functional and pragmatic factors. Understanding the origins and evolution of articles enhances our understanding of language structure and the ways in which humans communicate.
