THE MEANS OF PERCEPTIVITY EXPRESSION IN THE TEXTS OF REPORTAGES REVISED (ON THE MATERIAL OF MODERN ENGLISH)

Abstract

The paper considers reportage texts in English from the angle of the functional-semantic field of perceptivity, which is the object of the research. The functional-semantic field of perceptivity (FSPP) consists of 5 microfields: MP of visual perception, MP of auditory perception, MP of olfactory perception, MP of tactile perception, MP of gustatory perception. Within the framework of this article, the existing types of reportages are presented, the analysis of the texts of reports in English is carried out in order to distribute the language units within the FSPP. In the course of the work, it is found that the linguistic units of the reportage texts are in most cases concentrated in the MP of visual and auditory perception. In this regard, the researchers assume that the structure of the FSPP for reportage texts may change in the direction of reducing the number of microfields. Further analysis will allow to systematize multi-level language units and group them in the nuclear, near-nuclear and peripheral zones of the FSPP according to the degree of perceptual function.
