The ‘I’ of the author and its persuasive function (as exemplified by the complex sentence with homogeneously collateral sub clauses)

Abstract

What makes this study topical: the urgency of the problem under consideration is due to the existing need for structural and semantic analysis of complex sentences (CS) with homogeneously collateral subordination of clauses, in different functional styles of speech and language. Our study is directed towards revealing the ability of syntaxemes with homogeneously collateral subordination to render hidden meanings of the author‘s ‘I’ and to thereby affect the reader/hearer. The cornerstone research method in this study is direct observation of language phenomena with generous borrowings from transformational analysis; it allows us to assert that the multi-component sentences under scrutiny here possess powerful expressive potential and can better than any other render additional information, thereby giving a strongly suggestive focus to an utterance or statement. In this paper, for the first time in the history of linguistics, we reveal how CS with homogeneously collateral subordination of sub clauses work in all functional styles. We also define cognitive boundaries within which takes place the choice between such multi-component structures in the process of language activity, with concern for how the ‘I’ of the author affects the addressee.

Suggestive power of the word in the information space for sustainable development

“…By a conspiracy we mean a verbalized image that, according to religious beliefs, has a suggestive property due to a special communicative marking of linguistic and syntactic signs, built according to a special model of the deployment of content and form that contributes to the best solution of a suggestive task [9].…”

“…People perceive the world around them mainly visually and convey their ideas about it also in visual images by means of words. The essence of suggestion through affirmation consists in influencing the feelings of a person, and through them on all his will and mind in order to create a certain state or inducement to planned actions [8].…”

Semantic shifts of sublanguage units

“…Naturally, the slang unit should be situational and stylistically appropriate, i.e. directed at the addressee and the situation where just such a linguistic expression is close, because in order to grasp the content of the text, you need to know much more than the meanings of its constituent words, because they are only signals of meaning, the condition for adequate perception of which is background knowledge [12], that increases additional shades and set an informal, emotionally colored tone of the narrative, contributes to the conduct of a casual conversation, which forms the basis for the appropriate expression of speech intentions by the speaker [13].…”

Methods For Schoolchildren Speech-Cognitive Activity Improving Within The Framework Of Textual Authenticity

“…Naturally, the teacher in the discussion-provocation acts as a leader (sometimes as an outside listener), whose goal is not to muffle the speech mood, but to develop, involving in the conversation more and more sides of the selected issue, highlighting the details of the overall picture, emphasizing a figuratively significant section of speech (Nikolenko, Zakharchuk, Babakova, & Morenko, 2019). This approach is based on the fact that the strength of a particular speech motivation is determined by the nature of the leading communicant (teacher), his intellectual and linguistic abilities, acting skills that help to "push aside" his priorities and look at the situation through the eyes of the interlocutor, and the purposeful and meaningful focus on the object of expression is The most important characteristic of academic speech.…”
