Abstract
The article focuses on generalizing statements from a perspective of their belonging to one of the communicative registers of speech, namely generalizing register. The main investigation stages of such statements are noted, along with conclusions about their properties that are relevant for the study, such as semantics of generalization and abstractness, specific characteristics of reference, autosemanticism. The article proposes a classification of generalizing statements, based on the speaker's position against the source of an authoritative opinion. Statements are placed on a theoretical scale. One side of this scale corresponds to the situation when the speaker is this source of an authoritative opinion and the other side corresponds to the situation when an authoritative opinion is correlated with an external subject in relation to the speaker. The article considers the correlation of mentioned opposition with the opposition of creation/reproduction and describes the modus frames for each type. Besides, it outlines the prospects and opportunities to analyze text functions and the interaction of generalizing statements taking into account the introduced classification.
