THE PROBLEM OF INTERSUBJECTIVITY REALIZATION IN CONFLICT FICTION DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article focuses on the problem of intersubjectivity realization in different conflict communicative situations in Modern English fictional discourse with regard to specificity of conflict discourse, its nonlinear dynamics and development, the main communicative types of ending the conflict, realized through a definite set of strategies and tactics, communicative styles and climate as necessary condition of intersubjectivity actualization. The paper discusses the phenomenon of intersubjectivity and studies communicative correlation between the intersubjective competence of the communicants and types of ending the conflict via verbal and nonverbal means of communication. The paper aims to determine how the intersubjective competence may influence the development and results of conflict communication in fictional discourse. Also what strategies and tactics it may determine, how the key intersubjective concept of “self and other” may be maintained or violated under the influence of situational and behavioral factors in conflict fiction discourse, what language means are used to realize shared responsibility in conflict communicative situations. To achieve this, a semiological approach to the intersubjective approaches paradigm is applied, together with the conversation analysis elements, discourse analysis, pragmalinguistic analysis, and the verbal and nonverbal module study in conflict fictional discourse. The obtained results indicate that analysis of the nonverbal means in conflict fiction discourse and it focuses on multimodal studies enables to get a true picture of the role of nonverbal conflict-management and mode in the actual and potential intersubjectivity realization which in correlation with its pragmatic impact and some social and psychological features contribute to the influence on the process of conflict development and resolution.
