Pragmalinguistic aspect of the choice of speech units of authorial strategies in state acts of the XIII-XVI centuries

Abstract

The subject of the study is the texts of monuments of state acts of the 18th-16th centuries. The object of the study is the choice of speech units of authors’ strategies, which are studied from the position of synthesis of cognitive and pragmatic linguistics. The authors consider the reactions of the professional (statesmen) audience to the speech impact of authors, which is conditioned by communicative factors and determined by the immanent connection between language and thinking. Therefore, the issues of speech impact (pragmatic problem) and cognitions in natural language (problem of cognitive linguistics) should be considered in synthesis. The aim of the study is to consider a possible classification of speech units of state acts of the Middle Ages from the position of synthesis of cognitive and functional-pragmatic ways of studying the text. The objectives are the determination and classification of such units. The goals and objectives determine the research methods.
