The article is written in the line with cognitive poetics, one of the actively developing fields of linguistic poetics. Cognitive poetics regards different stages of functioning of works of art, considered from the point of view of mental categories: the author (the individual conceptual sphere)-the artistic reality (the conceptual structure of a literary text)-the reader (the cognitive mechanisms of perception). The cognitive approach to the analysis of a literary text gives the possibility to describe the individual conceptual sphere of an author, which is understood as the mental base of a writer's style, and to describe the transformation of the structure of cultural concepts under the influence of an author's mentality.

Based on comparison of two corpora, BE2006 sub-corpus of learned (academic) prose and corpus of English language texts written by Russian scholars compiled by the authors, the article seeks to find out differences in interpersonal relations as they are construed in Englishlanguage L1 and English as a foreign language academic discourse. The study focuses on the use of the first person plural pronoun that being a genre convention admits exclusive and inclusive uses in their reference and represents culturally determined discursive strategy of construing communicative categories of solidarity, credibility, politeness, etc. Applying corpus methodology, the authors intend to reveal if there is a statistically significant difference in the frequencies of the first person plural pronoun, and what the use of the first person plural pronoun reveals about interpersonal relations within the compared data from academic discourses under study. Although the statistical tests did not indicate significant differences in the frequency of the pronoun in the contrasted corpora, qualitative analysis of the discourse data revealed that in the EFL corpus inclusive we is employed to persuade the addressee to share and accept the author's arguments whereas in the BE2006 corpus it is used to construe solidarity based on common background, shared beliefs and opinions.The reported research was funded by Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the government of Volgograd region, Research area: philology.Citation: Kochetova, L.A., Kononova, I.V.

Introduction. The article presents the results of the analysis of the author’s position verbalization methods in the English online professional film review addressed to the mainstream audience. The authors proceed from the position that the methods of subject verbalization are determined by functional characteristics of discourse. The relevance of the study is due to the interest of modern linguistics in the study of the subject factor in “personal” types of discourse. The paper considers the factor of the subject in the discourse, defines the concepts of authorization and its nomination, analyzes the role of identifying categories of subjective modality and describing prevalent evaluation types in the study of the author's position in evaluative genres.Methodology and sources. Research methodology is based on the approaches to classification of modus and evaluation types developed by N.D. Arutyunova. The methodology of describing the author's position in evaluative genres is proposed, which boils down to the following steps: identifying the leading linguistic means of self-nomination; displaying main genre-typical patterns of subject modality (modus types); describing evaluation semantics specificity and linguistic means of dominant evaluative meanings verbalization. The study was conducted on the material of the corpus of texts selected on the English-language portal metacritic.com which includes 50 professional film reviews addressed to a wide audience (39,765 words in length).Results and discussion. Based on the methods of quantitative and contextual analysis the distribution of modus types verbalized by “subject-predicate” models with personal subject-representing pronouns was carried out; the distribution of personal and possessive pronouns as the main method of self-nomination in the discourse of the network English-language professional film review was revealed; on the basis of the analysis of the semantics of evaluative adjectives of the corpus, the types of evaluative meanings in the genre under study were identified. The leading methods of discourse subject nomination were shown to involve the 1-st person pl. inclusive pronoun, which indicates the author’s intention to establish a connection with the reader and to increase the manipulative potential of the text. The main types of evaluative meanings verbalized by the corpora adjectives were identified, which are emotional, intellectual, aesthetic and regulatory types.Conclusion. The conducted research allowed us to conclude that the specificity of the expression of the author's position in professional network film review is reduced to the following characteristics: the dominant nature of the perceptual mode and the mental mode of knowledge in the field of subjective modality of texts; the predominance of first-person plural pronouns in an inclusive meaning as a means of self-nomination of the subject discourse and the dominance of partial-evaluative meanings over general-evaluative ones. The predominance of emotional-psychological and intellectual-psychological types of evaluation indicates the author's intention to express an individualized subjective-emotional opinion about the evaluated object.

Введение. В статье рассматривается проблема моделирования фрейма HEALTHY LIFE-STYLE с использованием методов корпусной лингвистики. Научная новизна исследования определяется тем, что до настоящего момента не предпринималось попыток описания фреймовой структуры концепта HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Актуальность исследования обусловлена тем, что в нем выявляется национальная специфика данного концепта в американской лингвокультуре, а также тем, что для получения верифицированных выводов о фреймовой структуре концепта авторы применяют анализ коллокаций, полученных из корпуса. Методология и источники. Исследование выполнено в русле методологии фреймового моделирования концепта на основе анализа его дискурсивных репрезентаций. С целью выявления фреймовой структуры концепта применяется метод выделения коллокаций, основанный на анализе частотности совместной встречаемости языковых единиц. Эмпирической основой исследования стали коллокации, отобранные из корпуса текстов Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Результаты и обсуждения. В статье представлена иерархическая модель фрейма HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, выделены следующие основные слоты (субфреймы) в его структуре: «healthy/unhealthy eating», «physical activity», «healthy/unhealthy habits», «healthy lifestyle promotion», «keeping healthy lifestyle», «healthy/unhealthy relationships». В результате анализа коллокаций, репрезентирующих каждый из выделенных слотов фрейма HEALTHY LIFESTYLE в корпусе COCA, была выявлена структура подчиненных субфреймов. Заключение. Было установлено, что каждый слот (субфрейм) описываемого фрейма, в свою очередь, имеет сложную структуру, включающую терминальные узлы-слоты и нетерминальные узлы. Структуру терминальных узлов на любом из иерархических уровней фрейма можно представить в виде радиальной модели, при этом каждый из подчиненных терминальных узлов (слотов) в разной степени удален от центра поля. Выводы о степени удаленности слотов фрейма от центра радиальной модели можно сделать на основании частотности коллокаций, репрезентирующих тот или иной слот. К перспективам исследования авторы относят дальнейшее детальное рассмотрение подчиненных слотов фрейма и уточнение иерархической модели концепта HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
