REALIZATION OF THE ADDRESSING CATEGORY IN SPANISH SCIENTIFIC TEXT

Abstract

The article deals with a current problem of realization of the addressing category in Spanish scientific texts. The article reveals notions of the concept of addressing in interpretation of some linguists. The article identifies and describes types and functions of the addressing category. The author also considers the role of the addressee in a scientific text, despite the lack of direct reference to her/him, and that it is the addressee who determines the choice of linguistic means by the author when creating a scientific text. The focus of the work is made on means used in the Spanish scientific text to realize the addressing category. Special attention is paid to the use of personal pronouns, imperative and interrogative constructions, parenthesis, as well as verbs of cognitive semantics. Thus, it is concluded that the main function of the means of realization of the addressing category is to establish contact between the author and the reader in order to activate attention and influence.
