Abstract

This article is a review of the book The Evidential Model of a Scientific Text by Sergey Grichin. The monograph describes evidentiality, one of the leading discursive categories of a scientific text. Grichin answers the questions: How does new knowledge emerge? How is it converted into a text? How does the dialogue between the author and his predecessors come about? Answering these questions, Grichin substantiates the status of evidentiality as a universal text-forming category. This category reflects all cognitive actions of the author of the text, so the study of evidentiality requires a complex, interdisciplinary approach. In the reviewed book, this approach is represented by the synthesis of functional stylistics, cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis, psychology and logic. The author of the monograph fully and clearly formulates the research methodology and defines the key concepts: evidential sense, evidential unit, evidential indicators, etc. Grichin establishes the extra-linguistic factors influencing the representation of evidential meanings in a scientific text, and describes the linguistic units for expressing these meanings. The correlation between the category of evidentiality and the category of certainty / uncertainty is shown. Regularities in the perception of evidential information by the addressee are defined. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the category of evidentiality is presented as an integrative, multifactor model, which takes into account extralinguistic (discursive) and linguistic factors of communicative and cognitive activity of the author of the text. The scientific significance of the developed model is ensured by the fact that Grichin interprets evidentiality in a wider and deeper way than it was accepted in traditional linguistics (traditionally evidentiality is understood as referring to the source of someone else’s speech). The monograph considers evidentiality as a multifactorial category, which is a tool for structuring scientific discourse. The evidentiality model is developed by Grichin on the basis of the analysis of vast material, which includes more than 300 texts in 13 branches of science. To check the validity of the concept, journalistic and colloquial (dialectal) texts are used in addition to scientific texts. The regularities of the addressee’s perception of evidential senses are analysed by means of experimental methods. The reviewers note the value of the monograph for speech studies, in particular: development of a cognitive and discursive method of scientific text analysis; identification of new extralinguistic factors of scientific communication; establishment of mechanisms of generation and perception of scientific texts.
书评:Grichin, s.v.(2020)科学文本的证据模型。新西伯利亚:新西伯利亚国立技术大学
这篇文章是对Sergey Grichin的《科学文本的证据模型》一书的评论。该专著描述了证据性,科学文本的主要话语类别之一。Grichin回答了以下问题:新知识是如何产生的?它是如何转换成文本的?作者和他的前辈之间的对话是如何产生的?回答这些问题,Grichin证实了证据作为一个普遍的文本形成类别的地位。这一类别反映了文本作者的所有认知行为,因此证据性的研究需要一个复杂的、跨学科的方法。在这本书评中,这种方法以功能文体学、认知语言学、语篇分析、心理学和逻辑学的综合为代表。作者完整而清晰地阐述了研究方法,并界定了关键概念:证据意义、证据单位、证据指标等。Grichin建立了影响科学文本中证据意义表征的语言外因素,并描述了表达这些意义的语言单位。证明性类别与确定性/不确定性类别之间的相关性。明确了收件人对证据信息感知的规律。该研究的新颖之处在于,证据范畴是一个综合的、多因素的模型,它考虑了文本作者的交际和认知活动的语言外因素(话语)和语言因素。Grichin以比传统语言学所接受的更广泛、更深入的方式解释证据性(传统上,证据性被理解为指他人言语的来源),这一事实确保了发展模型的科学意义。本专著认为证据性是一个多因素的范畴,是构建科学话语的工具。证据模型是由Grichin在分析大量材料的基础上发展起来的,其中包括13个科学分支的300多篇文章。为了检验这一概念的有效性,除了科学文本外,还使用了新闻和口语(方言)文本。采用实验方法分析了收信人对证据感官感知的规律。审稿人注意到该专著对言语研究的价值,特别是:发展科学文本分析的认知和话语方法;科学传播中新的语言外因素的识别科学文本生成与感知机制的建立。
