Теоретические проблемы прагмастилистики. Часть 2

Abstract

The author presents the theoretical basis for linguistic research, the subject of which is the interaction of two disciplines: stylistics and pragmatics. In the first part of the article, a brief overview of the history and problem fields of both disciplines is presented, emphasizing the fact that each of these has its own characteristics from a conceptual and ontological point of view. In the second part, stylistics and pragmatics are considered in the general semiotic model as two “dimensions” of linguistic signs. In addition to the three dimensions proposed by C.Morris, i.e. syntactics, semantics and pragmatics, the author introduces stylistics as a relation (according to the principle of correspondence) of signs to their socio-cultural environment, i.e. their practical/instrumental context. The author distinguishes between two directions within the framework of pragmastylistic studies. The indicative aspect consists of the study of the pragmatic characteristics of separate styles, in other words, in the description of the style withthe employment of the conceptual apparatus of pragmalinguistics (such concepts as illocutionary function, speech act, pragmatic strategy, pragmatic implication, pragmatic operator, etc.). The applicative aspect of pragmatic studies is the study of the employment of stylistic means of language (i.e. stylistically marked lexical forms and their constructions) for the implementation of different types of speech acts.
