Objective. The article is devoted to theoretical issues of discourse study. The aim of the research is to study the structure of discourse and the organization of the communication process. Applied methods. The study analyzes the content of the discursive space of communication, taking into account the achievements of modern linguistic science: semantic theory, theory of discursive analysis, axiological linguistics, theory of speech genres. Methods of linguistic analysis are used: the method of linguistic observation and description, the method of discursive analysis, the method of theoretical modeling. Results. The conceptual categories of discourse are defined: genre, speech action (speech act) and script. The article presents a schematic image of discourse reflected in a spatial and temporal context, with expressed value-normative properties that define it as a formalized (meeting the rules, norms and values) communication that has a consistent sequence. Conclusion. The organizational content of the discourse has a consistent sequence and is determined by the genre of the communicative situation; norms of behavior, intentions of communicants; cultural, social, and individual values.

Modern linguistics is focused on the theory of lingual personology which sheds light on the ability of a lingual personality to generate and interpret texts, participate in various types of the discursive practice, model his/her communicative space within the plane of a respective lingual culture. Ego-texts as a type of the discursive practice manifest themselves in the system of speech genres. If an ego-text represents poetry it additionally belongs to a linguo-literary genre. The article sets out to characterize lingual creativity of S. I. Doroshenko in modelling his speech and linguo-literary ego-textual genre of a syncretic type – well-wishing-greeting-dedication whose samples are found in his book “Moya dusha i serce z Vamy” (“My soul and heart are with you”). This collection is viewed as a research ‘territory’, i.e. a discursive space to analyze relationship of S. I. Doroshenko with his closest communicants – his family, friends, students, adherents and supporters. Apart from traditional analysis the research of ego-texts involves new linguistic methods, in particular content analysis, intertextual analysis and narrative one. Methods of discursive analysis in this case aim to: а) explain the sense of social phenomena and b) determine the way of structuring these phenomena. The dominant genre in the ego-textual space of S. I. Doroshenko is greeting and sending regards, i.e. wishing all the best which can satisfy the addressee’s demands and drawing attention to an important event in his / her life, focusing on his / hr individuality and significance. Doroshenko’s ego-text is characterized by the high level of attraction as a manifestation of emotionally positive attitude to people, affection and spirituality. Еgo-textual idiostyle of S. I. Doroshenko includes the following features: epigraphs, jocular tone, puns, linguistic terms, precedency and intertextuality.

Descriptive Method

Background. An important genre-forming structural element of epistolary text is theindication of an addressee, which can come in a direct, address, metatextual or indirect address. Various ways of the addressee indication in the letter seeking to establish contact between theparties of epistolary communication, are united by the term epistolary vocative. If the addressermultiply names their addressee within one letter, such addresses build a system of addressnominations that are qualified in our research as a polyvocative. Keeping in mind the fact that such systems (polyvocatives) are very diverse and arranged in a specific way, the relevance of our linguistic research lies in their exploration and classification.Purpose. We seek to describe the structural types of the epistolary polyvocative and explorethereupon its main functions. Methods. A descriptive method was used to define the system of the letter’s constructivefeatures and to form the core of polyvocatives. Epistolary vocative typology building, and thedescription of its components’ vocabulary were done by means of linguistic modeling.Results. We have identified three structural types of the polyvocative: framed, scattered andcombined. The framed polyvocative consists of two addresses, the first of which commonly opensthe letter and the last one accompanies the final etiquette formula and the addresser’s signature. The framed polyvocative can be doubling (both addresses are similar), reduced (the second addressdoes not contain certain components of the first one), expanded (the second address contains extracomponents) and modified (the components are totally different). The scattered polyvocative contains two or more addresses spread over epistolary text, in which case the last address does not belong to the letter ending. The scattered polyvocative can be homogeneous (containing one-type addresses) or heterogeneous (containing various types of address). The combined polyvocative comprises three and more addresses; it combines the features of the framed and scattered polyvocatives and unites their functions. Discussion. The major function of the framed polyvocative is the phatic one, i. e., establishing contact between communicators through the initial address and contact termination atthe end of the letter. The scattered polyvocative seeks to maintain contact throughout the whole communication process; besides, it can also perform emotional and aesthetic functions. The components of the scattered polyvocative may mark the utterances that embody in the letter various speech genres (apology, gratitude, compliment, request etc.). This way, they can divide and integrate the text. Further research perspectives are related to exploring pragmatic traits of the epistolary polyvocative at large and its separate types in letters that function in various areas of communication

The concept and phenomenon of discourse as a social phenomenon has been of interest to researchers-methodologists for a long time. The diversity of opinions and approaches to definition also contributes to the development of modern discourse theory. In the formation of social in-stitutions, discursive characteristics take on a new meaning and are modified for individual partic-ipants in the communication process. We propose the author’s definition of the term “pedagogical discourse”, which is understood as the process of communicative-speech interaction of communi-cants, carried out in order to achieve certain pedagogical goals that contribute to the socialization of the student in society. We also propose the author’s interpretation of the term “educational dis-course”, which is a set of educational and methodological techniques aimed at increasing the level of training of participants in the formation of the communication process between the teacher and the student. We present a model for the formation of the discourse space of the educational environment of the university, represented by three types of discourses – pedagogical, educational and academic. The interrelation of discourses among themselves determines the structure of the discourse space and involves the creation of educational-pedagogical, academic-pedagogical and educational-pedagogical discourse. Each of the types of discourse serves a specific purpose. The work also explores and analyzes the existing definitions of discourse space. We bring the following definition of discursive space – a complexly organized structure within a social institution, in the center of which is an individual producing discourses interconnected with each other taking into account linguistic and extralinguistic norms and sociocultural implications.

Momuhaboi (meminang) ceremony in the Kadazandusun community requires the arrangement of civilized words to enable negotiation to be done in the complete way of gracious manner However, this tradition is increasingly forgotten because it is less used during merisik. If this situation persists then the legacy of the chosen words used exclusively for this ceremony will disappear. This is a major loss to the Kadazandusun generation as the bearer and conservator of the nation's heritage. Therefore, this study was carried out to collect the words  that are often used during negotiations in momuhaboi (meminang)  ceremony by Kadazandusun community. Data is obtained through fieldwork by interviewing and recording the old generation who have gone through the merisik rites in the past. The researcher also attended several merisik ceremonies at this time for the purpose of collecting data. The data were analyzed using cognitive semantic theory for the purpose of categorizing words with elements of euphemism. Then, the data is reported in descriptive form. The data analysis found that the Kadazandusun community used words of euphemism so that the communication process can be carried out in a civilized manner. This makes the negotiations to know the background of both parties, determining the resources and customs so that it is conducted in a harmonious atmosphere. The study found that the Kadazandusun community was rich in euphemisme in negotiations during merisik and engaged. The legacy should be preserved in order that the culture can be inherited by the next generation.

This study is aimed to provide an overview of the cultural reality of lullaby, doda idi from Acehnese family habit.  This study describes the cultural norms and values configuration viewed from an ethno-pragmatic perspective and the local wisdom identified from the discourse. This study presents the cultural script approach. This approach is a descriptive technique that has grown out of the cross-cultural semantic theory proposed.  The cultural discourse analysis of norms and values on natural semantic meta-language theory.  It is considering that cultural norms and values constituted rules and regulations in social communication interaction practices. This lullaby linked to particular ways of speaking in the family's private domain, in this case, from mother and her child. Generally speaking, most cross-cultural communication styles assume that within a particular speech community, there are certain shared understandings about how it is appropriate to speak in a particular and cultural situation. A certain methodological technique is adopted to describe speech patterns and identify the relevant cultural values of this speech pattern. The proposed Acehnese cultural script is linked with (1) Showing high respect, (2) patriotic spirit, and (3) giving advice. The configuration of these cultural norms and values is the understanding of knowledge and wisdom in terms of the lullaby system. The configuration is constructed in low-level scripts with lexicons in semantic primes.

ABSTRACTThis paper is a study of the discursive management of notions of change and continuity in interview talk. It presents selected short empirical examples from interviews with 22 Finnish baby-boomers, and discusses the methodological and theoretical issues that arise. Following a review of the major approaches to the study of age identity, the analytic intersection between qualitative gerontology and discursive psychology is explored. The analysis identifies how the frequent use of a ‘provisional continuity device’ enables speakers simultaneously both to acknowledge and to distance themselves from factual notions of physical or psychological lifespan change. The key methodological argument is that the discursive analysis of age-in-interaction cannot necessarily be achieved through the myopic micro-study of discursive strategies, but rather two suggestions are made. First, it is argued that analytically-anchored and rigorous discursive gerontology that both systematically draws on and contributes to the broad field of discursive research provides a means by which to test empirically post-modern conceptualisations of age identity. Second, it is suggested that analyses of age-talk in everyday and institutional settings provide an analytical and theoretical middle-ground between the macroversusmicro or ‘microfication’ debate in gerontology.

Creation of model municipal libraries of new generation is carried out within the framework of the National project “Culture” developed in pursuance of the Edict of The President of the Russian Federation № 204 of May 7, 2018. The aim of the project is to find new models of library development that combine cultural, educational, scientific and educational functions. Modernization of municipal libraries is carried out on the basis of principles of modernization of public libraries, recommended by the Model Standard for Public Library Services. The authors consider the library as a system object and on the basis of internal and external relations of the object determine the place, role and functions of library in the communication process. The study is based on the concept of library as a four-element system. The article describes each of its elements in the process of their evolution in the modern information environment. Based on the spatial approach, the authors identify the components and levels of the library space, determine directions of its development and substantiate the principles of its construction.The authors conclude that development of the model of library operation in the territorial information space should reflect the specific features of the formation of its own information space as a documentary-communication institution.

The paper considers legal media discourse as a discursive format that arose as a result of the interaction of legal discourse and media discourse. The research is aimed at defining the boundaries, structure and categories of legal media discourse. The material of the research are texts of legal media discourse including analytical articles on legal issues, regulatory legal acts, news materials and other genres implemented within the boundaries of the discursive format under study. The research applies methods of scientific description (systematization and interpretation), discursive analysis, as well as the simulation method. The paper provides an overview of research in the field of legal discourse and media discourse, which helps to get closer to defining the boundaries of the format under study, which represents a promising direction for further research. As a result of the systematization of the theoretical and practical material, the boundaries and structure of legal media discourse are determined. It is established that the boundaries of legal media discourse, which is a hybrid discursive formation, lie within the intersection of legal discourse with media discourse. The resulting discursive space has a field structure (core, periphery) and represents a discourse format that concretizes two types of discourse (legal discourse and media discourse) and is represented in turn by different genres. The article gives the description of the categories of legal media discourse, which is based on the model proposed by V. I. Karasik. The paper reveals typical participants of communication, their possible presuppositions, sphere of functioning, chronotope, goals and strategies, genre organization. The author also discusses the issue of implementing the expressive function in legal media discourse through the use of colloquial and obscene lexemes.

Abstract. Research on terror management theory has found evidence that people under mortality salience strive to live up to activated social norms and values. Recently, research has shown that mortality salience also increases adherence to the norm of reciprocity. Based on this, in the current paper we investigated the idea that mortality salience influences persuasion strategies that are based on the norm of reciprocity. We therefore assume that mortality salience should enhance compliance for a request when using the door-in-the-face technique – a persuasion strategy grounded in the norm of reciprocity. In a hypothetical scenario (Study 1), and in a field experiment (Study 2), applying the door-in-the-face technique enhanced compliance in the mortality salience condition compared to a control group.
