Abstract:
The article is devoted to the issues of communicative and pragmatic implementation of purpose semantics in the modern Russian political discourse. . 4,000 examples of research material, i.e. interview fragments with Russian politicians, selected by continuous sampling method, were analyzed on the basis of the conversational and discourse analysis. The method of linguistic argumentation was used when comparing the ways to implement a communicative goal by the producers at the verbal level; the methods of linguistic observation were used to identify the specificity of communicative and pragmatic layers of text units semantics.
On the basis of cognitive and discursive, pragmatic and communicative approaches to the object of research, the ways of propositional structuring such purpose semantics in a text as topicalization, segmentation, contrast provided by the body of prosodic means, as well as a set of lexical and grammatical means built on the principle of pragmatic significance, including dissected ways of communicating the goal (antecedent-anaphoric complexes) were identified. The interaction of the propositional and pragmatic layers of the text that verbalize the semantics of the goal was investigated. Linguistic markers used in political leaders discursive form of interviews were presented. Linguistic markers used in the political leaders discourse in the genre of interview were presented. The definition of text units with purpose semantics, taking into account the functions performed by them, is proposed.
Keywords: text unit, purpose semantics, pragmatic component, propositional level of semantics, communicative foregrounding.
