Linguistic Markedness of Depression

Abstract

В статье рассматриваются вопросы исследования языковых единиц, считающихся показателями депрессии. Использование данных маркеров свойственно людям, страдающим депрессией и/или близким к ней психическими расстройствами. This article deals with the study of language units that are considered indicators of depression. The relevance of this study is due to the growing scientific interest in the relationship between mental disorders and language. An analysis of the researchers' work shows that the main markers of depression in the language can be combined into certain groups of individual style attributes as language means, the unconscious usage of which is characteristic of people suffering from depression and/or mental disorders close to depression.
