Abstract

Parenthesis is an additional element independent of the core sentence structure, which is a very common linguistic phenomenon in Uyghur and Chinese. It not only has various forms, rich semantics, but also has important communicative functions. They make the discourse vivid, rich, fluent, with a strong appeal. We should attach importance to it in language research and practice. Based on this point, this paper reveals the similarities and differences in the textual functions of Chinese and Uygur parentheses through a comparative study. Generally speaking, parentheses are widely used in Chinese and Uyghur languages. No matter in classification, features or functions, parentheses in the two languages are more common than individual, with almost no differences.
