Functional grammar is formed in the process of speech and it studies the semantics of language units. To disclose the meaning of functionality the article gives the basic notions and determines their distinctions. In modern Kazakh linguistics there are various studies on the functionality of language.

In this regard, teaching the functional direction of the Kazakh language is very important for its development and learning.
