Abstract

The study aims to compare the representation of constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible in federal, regional and city newspapers, identifying common and specific features, namely: the frequency of constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible, the reasons for their use in newspaper texts, the compatibility of constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible with lexical units, language preferences of the authors of texts (the gender aspect). The study is novel in that it is the first to identify the common and specific features of using constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible in federal, regional and city newspapers. It is the first time that the gender correlation in the use of constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible in newspaper texts has been found. As a result, the common and specific features of using constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible have been revealed. Constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible in federal, regional and city newspapers have the common features of evaluativeness and emotionality: they mark the names of emotions, feelings, sensations; they serve to attract the reader to the published information in order to influence them. The specific features include the following: in federal newspapers, constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible are more frequent than in the city press; in the texts of federal newspapers, one-word constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible predominate, while in a city newspaper, constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible are prevalent as parts of phrases. It has been found that constituents of the semantics of the inexpressible are mainly used by female authors; there are no texts in which the semantics of the inexpressible would label negative feelings and emotions in a city newspaper.
