Epistemology sciences have witnessed great progress as a result of the serious work in its different fields. Similarly, linguistics kept in step with that progress through the continuous researches which tried hard to straighten progress embodied in Math, Philosophy, Astronomy and Wired and Wireless communication sciences.

He determined the essence of the linguistic connection: its six foundations, six functions as well as the concept of the dominating function theory and its role in directing the literary work.

Key words: Linguistic connection theory, The concept of the dominating function.
