First-name address, interpersonal interaction and the public face: the case of the Russian language
... politeness. The literature review and data analysis revealed two interactional contexts where addressing by a given name is foregone or does not seem to be preferential despite the speaker's acquaintance with the corresponding term of identification: communication between family members and service encounters. For some pieces of data, a description framed in terms of linguistic politeness appears to be suitable. Yet, a first-name address can function as not only a mitigating device but also a potential ...
‘Mother’, ‘wife’ and ‘friend’: semantics and pragmatics of an address

It examines secondary uses of the term in literary texts from the 1780s to the present, a sample of 4,272 tokens, alongside dictionary definitions. The study revealed that, in different communicative situations, the term 'mother' can convey a range of sometimes contradictory attributes such as 'patronage', 'superiority', 'dependency', 'strictness', 'kindness', 'overfamiliarity' and other nuanced semantic traits. The metaphor of family ...

This article attempts to answer these and other questions, providing a semiotic understanding of communication ...

The aim is to analyse the aspects of speech and language conflict, as well as its destructive forms, within the lexico-semantic, syntactic, and functional-stylistic units of the language. A conflictual communicative act is viewed as the result of specific failures in speech interaction and the violation of conventions and rules governing discursive behaviour.

As a result, the literary text is examined as a semiotic model of communication, in which the sender and the recipient of the text are linked through the narrative language and regarded as objects of historical analysis. The theme of the ‘new man’ constitutes the historiosophical core of the Strugatsky brothers’ ...

By studying communication and information processes at the biomolecular level, we can redefine pragmatics as operations intricately linked with systemic self-regulation and interaction with the environment.
