CLASSIFICATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF THE TYPES OF PRECEDENT PHENOMENA IN POLITICAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

The linguistic theory of precedence is a promising scientific field, the concepts of which need to be developed and defined. As the review shows, traditional classification of precedent phenomena (worked out by Yu.N. Karaulov) and its linguo-cognitive and linguo-culturological variants (precedent text, precedent phrase, precedent name and precedent situation) are expanded and specified (in the works of S.G. Vorkachev, I.V. Vysotskaya, D.V. Bagayeva, D.B. Gudkov, I.V. Zakharenko, V.V. Krasnykh, L.A. Mardieva, E.A. Nakhimova, G.G. Slyshkin, and others).When analyzing precedence, it is necessary to include such phenomena as precedent event, precedent act, precedent sign, precedent visual image, precedent picture, precedent gesture, precedent sound, etc. Introduction of the term “precedent world” is timely as it unites different precedent phenomena due to their chronological or spatial proximity and semantic connections (such precedent worlds as “The Great Patriotic War” and “The Empire of Napoleon Bonaparte” have been studied as linguo-conceptological unities). An important tendency of precedence theory development is its combination with the theory of creolized texts, which studies texts built on the basis of verbal, visual, audio or some other type of precedence. The differences in classification are often caused by the methods and goals of research, as well as the type of discourse (scientific, literature, mass media, everyday, political, discourse of art, etc).
