The subject of this article is fascination as a type of communicative influence exerted on the addressees, the purpose of which is to attract or to retain attention to the message and/or its source. In public communication, fascination serves to activate the processing of semantic information, to create a positive image of the source of information and its preferences in the face of increasing market competition, and to prolong communicative contact as an opportunity to distribute advertising copy. Fascination is one of the characteristics of modern media culture. Fascination as a stylistic phenomenon is based on different means, which fall into four categories: the language code, the cognitive system (mental thesaurus, world view), the system of social relations, and the physical environment. On the Internet, semantic information is subordinated to the principle of attractiveness. This concerns such characteristics as preference for events in the sphere of politics, occasionality, sensationalism, dangerous traits, and an intracultural attitude.

Tematem artykułu jest fascynacja jako rodzaj komunikatywnego wpływu na adresatów, którego celem jest przyciągnięcie lub zwrócenie uwagi na przekaz i/lub jego źródło. W komunikacji publicznej fascynacja służy aktywacji przetwarzania informacji semantycznej, stworzeniu pozytywnego wizerunku źródła informacji i jego preferencji w obliczu rosnącej konkurencji rynkowej oraz prolongacji kontaktu komunikacyjnego jako sposobu emitowania reklam. Fascynacja jest jedną z cech współczesnej kultury medialnej. Jako zjawisko stylistyczne fascynacja jest realizowana za pośrednictwem różnych środków, które dzielą się na cztery kategorie: kod językowy, system kognitywny (tezaurus mentalny, światopogląd), system relacji społecznych i środowisko fizyczne (naturalne). Informacja semantyczna jest w internecie uwarunkowana zasadą atrakcyjności. Dotyczy to takich cech, jak preferowanie wydarzeń w świecie polityki, okazjonalność, sensacja, drażniące treści oraz priorytet treści wewnątrzkulturowych.

Strukturalizm a lingwistyka funkcjonalna

100%
EN
The article investigates the relationship between two directions in modern linguistics, the structural and the functional. The author critically appreciates the commonly held opinion about the opposition of these linguistic paradigms, and shows that structuralism largely bases on a functional analysis. Structuralism was a continuation of the functional approach, which diffused across the humanities in the 19th century, and it is from this perspective that the present paper discusses structuralist studies in the fields of lexicology, morphology, and syntax. Particular attention is paid to the functional aspects of distributional analysis, and to integrative approaches in structural linguistics.

The author considers the relationship between the category of quantification and the category of definiteness/ indefiniteness. In the reference theory, which prevailed in linguistics in the 1980s and 1990s, these two categories were considered in the light of integration, i.e. as varieties of a single semantic function. Therefore, quantifiers were regarded as exponents of the referential function of nominal groups, and considered together with such entities as determiners, articles, demonstrative pronouns, indefinite pronouns, and others. The author shows that this concept is wrong. True, semantic categories interact with one another but each of them has its own functional identity. The author treats quantifiers as one of three types of quantitative determination of nominal groups, and also shows the completion of quantification semantics in expressions with indefinite pronouns, as well as the completion of indefiniteness in expressions with quantifiers.

TWELVE FUNCTIONS OF LANGUAGE (Dwanascie funkcji jezyka)

100%
EN
The article deals with the problem of classification of language functions. The author considers six parameters of verbal activity: world, man, interaction, discourse, convention and linguistic situation, which are treated as criteria of the language functions. He considers also two aspects of language functioning: explicate and procedural, which enables the distinction of twelve language functions: nomination, magic, index (presentation), expression, social (sociolectal) function, pragmatic function, stylistic function, ethological (heuristic) function, cognitive function, creative function, statutory function and determination (initiation).

The author considers the impact of postmodernism on contemporary humanities, and in particular on theoretical linguistics. The main thesis of the paper can be formulated as follows: postmodernism contributes to the increase of such tendencies in linguistics as: blurring of the subject of research, disregard for the ‘directives of language’, i.e. disuse of the conventional scientific language, violations of the requirement of verifiability of statements, and breaking of the rules of communication. The author examines elements of postmodern science using the example of several branches of modern linguistics: cultural linguistics (linguoculturology), ethnolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and discourse linguistics.

The author analyzes the pragmatic properties of protest discourse, taking into account poster slogans used during mass anti-government protests in Belarus in 2020. The theoretical basis of the research is the concept of discourse, based on four categories: intention, representation, performance and context. The author distinguishes among three types of contexts: cognitive, social and event-related (functional). In accordance with the global function of the protest discourse, three types of constitutive language activities are distinguished: modal-evaluative, modal-disapproving and speech acts of ultimatum. The author analyzes these types of speech acts in detail and provides numerous linguistic examples.

The subject of the article is the application of the case study method to the description of lexical semantics, in particular, to the analysis of a dictionary entry. The author considers the Russian noun SVIST ‘whistle’ as an object, namely, its description in the “Dictionary of the Russian language” (1984). Semantic analysis shows that the description of the word polysemy in the dictionary does not correspond to the nature of the semantic representations that are assigned to this lexeme. The author offers his own version of the semantic description of this noun, in particular, using the category of image-schematic structure. Special attention is devoted to the problem of the dictionary presentation of syntactic representations, i.e. combinatory of the word.

The article is devoted to the forms and the ways of semantic representation in the media texts, in the first place in television and internet. The author examines the concepts of information and interpretation as directly related to the category of value and the category of subjectivity. The article - in a critical light - shows and analyzes the methods of preparation of information as a means of persuasive influence of modern Russian journalism. This phenomenon is considered in the light of the concept of mediation.

Imagologia a konstruktywizm

100%
EN
The author considers the problem of creating images, namely its psychological and ontological aspects. Based on the assumption that mental representation is not a mimetic reproduction of objective reality, but a reference to mutually imputed collective knowledge, the author discusses various factors of this situation. The concept proposed by the author is based on presumption that the measure of the compatibility of the image and its designate is the content dispersion occurring in society, i.e. the number of different points of view. In the constructivist model, imaging is based on communication as a modus of the social system, in this case there is a diversification of viewpoints, and the compatibility of the image with its designate is close to 0.

The article deals with the examples of communicative manipulation in the news services of the Russian Internet by means of fragmentation of the journalistic text. News presentation has a multi-stage, modular nature, and the individual modules (a kind of genre clones) differ in their content: the most generalized, axiologically and pragmatically labeled at the level of header, lid and announcement, more concrete filled with factual information at the level of the summary and the full text. Text fragmentation implements several functions: 1) perceptual and mnemonic; 2) prolongation of the communicative contact; 3) locating (opening space for accompanying, usually commerce information); 4) ideological programming/design.

The author presents a linguistic model of an explicative syntax, which is being developed by the Polish syntactic school (it is based on the syntactic works of a famous Polish linguist Stanisław Karolak). The article describes the theoretical principles of this scientific direction and shows its application in practice (and namely by description of the basic syntactic structures of Slavic languages). The author examines this model in comparison with other models, in particular the Moscow semantic school.

The subject of the present article deals with semantic derivation processes, i.e. with modification of the lexical units’ meaning which determines their polysemy (metaphor or metonymy). The author presents theoretical basis for the study of polysemy taking into account the conditions of communicative, pragmatic and anthropological context of the activities of social groups of various formats. In doing so the author’s reasoning is based on linguistic literature on the theory and methodology of language, as well as in the field of lexical semantics. The author pays particular attention to the semantic compilation in the modern lexicography, and describes the phenomenon of metaphor-reminiscences.

The author reviews contemporary cultural linguistics (as one of the fields of anthropological linguistics) in two Slavic countries: Poland and Russia. The first part of the article discusses the general theoretical foundations of cultural linguistics, as well as the circumstances in which it was established in Poland and Russia (USSR). In the second part, the author discusses the distinguishing features of both linguistic traditions. So he writes that in Russia, researchers are more interested in linguoculturology, in particular in the description of concepts and the so-called konceptosphere. In Poland there is a stronger tradition of researching folk culture, folk psychology and folk language, for this reason the methodology of Polish research is based to a greater extent on empirical procedures, such as field research and surveys.

The author considers the problem of conjunctive use of disjunctive conjunctions in the perspective of functional grammar. In the first part of the article, the author verifies the logical approach to conjunctions, especially disjunctive conjunctions. The linguistic meaning of a conjunction is defined as information on the credibility or applicability of a (semantically) compound sentence under condition [10, 01], which means an alternative participation of referents in the described situation. In the following chapters, the author analyzes several language facts, namely sentences that contain a disjunctive relationship and which nevertheless express the general meaning of conjunction. The author explains these phenomena by the fact that in such sentences there are the types of configurations of conjunction with the exponents of other semantic categories: quantification and modality.

The subject of this article is the syntactic representation of propositional arguments in the sentences with Russian emotional verbs. The opposition of sentential and nominal actants is treated as a gradual one, i.e. represented by a set of syntactic realization forms of propositional arguments: clausal and non-clausal, finite and non-finite, lexical (material) and zero/empty (non-material). All these forms constitute a valence class of a lexical unit. A quantitative analysis of syntactic representations of Russian emotive verbs has shown that the valent characteristics of verbs and the separate subclasses vary in a large range. The most typical forms of filling the position of propositional argument in the class verba sentiendi are predicate and propositional names, and the least typical are clausal actants with the core component in the form of an adjective and infinitive.

The paper deals with the description of linguistic knowledge using the theory of paradigms. The author focuses on two aspects of linguistic paradigms: the integration and the differential, highlighting the diversity of research directions in modem linguistics. The method proposed by the author is based on the assumptions of the sociology of science, according to which linguistics is regarded as a social system. Within the new scientific discipline described as linguistic sociology, a complex of the research procedures is expected, such as bibliometric analysis, analysis of public opinion, thematic analysis of journals, scientific sessions, grant policy analysis, analysis of academic and educational programmes of language learning, etc.

The author presents the results of the analysis of Bulgarian, Polish and Russiansentences based on mental and emotive verbs. These sentences are described in termsof propositional-semantic structures implemented in grammatical forms. The main focus is onthe types of profiling in the mind of mental reflection and emotional experience as the areasof reference for the verbal sentences. The author analyzes two classes of verbs in terms of thefunctionality of the various types of propositions, and takes into account the specificities of eachof the studied Slavic languages.
