Введение

The concept of economy in linguistics has a lot of different values and meanings and can be considered and studied from many and diverse viewpoints. The concept of economy may be referred to as "the principle of least effort" (term of A. Martinet), which consists in tending towards the minimum amount of effort that is necessary to achieve the maximum result. This principle is at the very core of linguistic evolution. The concept of economy can be interpreted at all the linguistic levels, including phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis, discourse.

The concept of economy has played an important role in several theoretical frameworks. The most famous of those are Chomskian Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1993), Optimality Theory (Prince, Smolensky, 1993) and Relevance theory (Sperber & Wilson 1986). The forerunners to these theories are the American linguist and philologist George Kingsley Zipf (1949) and the French linguist Andr? Martinet (1962). Martinet described a primary mechanism of language change as coming from the interaction of two factors: "first, the requirements of communication, the need for the speaker to convey his message, and second, the principle of least effort, which makes him restrict his output of energy, both mental and physical, to the minimum compatible with achieving his ends." (Martinet 79).
