APPROACHES TO DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF SPEECH GENRE IN RUSSIAN AND CHINESE LINGUISTICS

Abstract

The article considers approaches to the definition of the concept of speech genre in Russian and Chinese linguistics. As an example, the approach of the classical linguist M.M. Bakhtin is considered, the theory of which is actively being developed in both Russian-speaking and Chinese science. As a comparative analysis of approaches has shown, the concept of the speech genre in Russian-speaking science is developed more deeply than in Chinese. The author notes in the article that in Chinese science, the focus of scientific attention is focused on literary, not speech genres, and speech genres themselves are studied in the context of politeness, persistence, and the pragmatics of utterance. The article concludes that the speech genre is increasingly appearing in Chinese studies as a subject of study, as well as in Russian science. These studies are cognitive, psycholinguistic in nature, which is a reflection of the trend towards anthropocentrism of linguistics.
