DISCURSIVE INTERACTIONS IN ENGLISH POPULAR SCIENTIFIC TEXT: COGNITIVE AND PRAGMATIC ASPECTS

Abstract

The objective of the presented research is the model analysis of processes of generation and interpretation of texts in the peripheral domain between scientific and literary discourses. Special attention is paid to procedures of generation of new meanings in the context of concept transfer between the scientific global picture of the world and the individual worldview of the author. The phenomenon of interdiscoursivity is considered form the point of view of realization of representatives of literary discourse in the domain of popular scientific text as well as in terms of switching between different types of thinking in the processes of generation and interpretation of hybrid texts. The leading role in these processes is given to the linguistic identity of the reader-interpreter who acts in consecutive stages as a subject of interacting discourses. The conclusion is made about perspectives of the use of strategy presented by the author that consists in the collateral exploitation of conceptual analysis and discourse-analysis in the research project focused on the procedures of interaction of different institutional discourses.
