Conceptual metonymy of the structure of the utterance
The author analyses examples from the English language and, based on their analysis, investigates the mechanism of conceptual metonymy reflected in the syntactic structure of the utterance.

Experimental deixis in the space of poetic text
... conceptual poetry, US Language Writing, and Arkadii Dragomoshchenko’s poetic texts. The study has found that the deictic means of language, interacting with the visual space of the poetic text, actualize the dynamic subjectivity of the aesthetic utterance. In poetic discourse, the spatiality, length and duration of the utterance (message) as such is a particularly active field of indexicality.

The Conjunction Functions of the Particle tolko: A Conjunction Particle vs a Conjunction Analogue
... status of the lexical units studied: the particle, the conjunction particle, and the conjunction analogue. The conjunction behaviour of a particle can be manifested to a greater or lesser degree. The particle/conjunction relation forms a gradient. In an utterance, the lexeme studied fulfils either the primary function of a logical and modal particle or the secondary one of a conjunction. In the latter case, the lexeme becomes a conjunction particle or a conjunction analogue. The author proposes a new ...

You know how to speak, be able to listen! Inefficiency of communication as a result of violation of the principle of active listening
... and maintenance of contact between interlocutors throughout the communication process. Such deviations lead to a disruption of the unity between the speaker and the listener, a disturbance of the semantic coordination of communicative partners’ utterances. As a result, the full realization of communicative intentions and speaker’s attitudes is not ensured, leading to the ineffectiveness of verbal interaction and typically resulting in the emergence of pseudo-communicative contacts.

Attribution of de re propositional attitudes as a means of persuasion
... which she knows to be unavailable to the attitude holder. As the existence of rhetorical de re is revealed, it gives rise to two questions that will be the primary concern of the present paper. (1) Using a rhetorical de re ascription, does the speaker utter something false in the model-theoretic sense? (2) Would it be justified to classify rhetorical de re as a rhetorical ploy designed to, or naturally predisposed to, mislead the addressee? This paper argues that the first question can be answered ...

Identification of intonation and emotions of the native language in vocal melody perception

As a form of language existence, vocal music reveals specific tonal features that imply communicative and emotive meanings perceived via the human auditory faculty. A vocal-music utterance is intonationally correlated with samples of oral speech, this fact proving intonological essence of the considered phenomenon, whose systemic studies have only recently started. This paper describes an attempt to obtain factual data on the ...
The semiotic perpetuum mobile in action: OMON, homonyms and antonyms
... new signs. Addressing the polysemic slogan ‘ОМОН-И-МЫ — АНТОНИМЫ’, we explicate the mechanism of semiotic Perpetuum mobile, that is, the cyclic recursions that allow simultaneous actualization of various interpretations of this utterance. We demonstrate that the analysis of semantic relations in their dynamics requires the introduction of new theoretical concepts. The general principle of dynamic semiosis is demonstrated — that is the recursive relations when a signified ...
Poetical reduplications in Alexander Vvedensky’s fiction
... between repeated grammar patterns and their lexical realisations, which allows Vvedensky to demonstrate the potential extensibility of syntactic models and make grammatical semantics a compensatory mechanism that fills the semantic void of the poetic utterance. Vvedensky's thematization of reduplication as the "doubling of the world" is a mirror, which deforms and transforms reality. Mirror semiosis illustrates the loss of iconicity by reduplication and, as a consequence, the impossibility ...

Using the speech act theory (Austin, Derrida) and the actor-network theory (Callon’s opposition of framing and overflowing), we analyse how the performative utterance functions in a given context. We show how the performative utterances carrying a seed of a potential scandal were construed (or could have been construed). The article analyses the interpretation of a scandal and communicative strategies chosen ...

The linguo-aesthetic model of artistic communication reflects the correspondence between types ...

On the speech-act nature of the verbal threat.
... approaches to studying the verbal threat, which exist in the recent Russian and international research literature. We examine the essence of the verbal threat from the perspective of speech act theory. We identify the major content-related components of utterances containing threats and explain how they differ from commissive acts. We conclude that the speech act of threat is a synthetic speech-act structure, whose core element is directive and whose auxiliary element commissive.

The objective of the article is to identify and analyse situations verbalized in the utterances with the verb ‘to lack’. These situations are the results of mental activity of the modal subject, implicitly present in the meaning of the verb ‘to lack’. When categorizing a situation, the modal subject evaluates it based on a certain ...
Communicative and pragmatic nature of intertextuality in English political discourse
The article discusses the communicative and pragmatic nature of intertextuality in political discourse, realized by different intertextual inclusions: allusions perform thematic functions in utterances specifying the thematic line in discourse while citations and phraseological units are used to form rhematic progressions, the aim of which is to provide new information about the theme. The theme-rheme sequence contributes to textual coherence; ...

The Text and Discourse in the Light of Communicative Meaning Formation

The communicative (dynamic) model postulates the following: 1) the text is a sequence of verbal elements of communicative actions; 2) the verbal manifestation of an utterance differs fundamentally from a communicative action; 3) the cognitive condition of the author of an action imposes a limit on meaning formation within the action and within the corresponding sentence of a text; 4) communicative meaning formation ...

A linguistic analysis of relevant contexts shows that all the linguistic means contribute to the semantic cohesion of the text and make a bridge to ...

The functional and pragmatic features of assonance phraseological reflexes

Therefore, the attempts to describe them in terms of traditional semantics ...
