Pragma-Semantic Relations in the Structure of a Business Microblog

Abstract

The article considers the business microblog as a new business communication register and studies its structural and semantic properties. The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that at present the microblog register in the context of business communication and its semantic structure are not fully studied. The authors aim to find out what pragmatic, structural and semantic features are peculiar to business messages in social network Twitter. Using the methods of discourse analysis, semantic and linguosynergetic analysis, we identified such structural properties of business microblogs as hypertextuality, interactivity, spontaneity, business context, dialogism, situationality and expressiveness. Semantic properties include most frequent pragma-semantic relations between propositions in microblogs (explanation, expansion, causation, pragmatic commentary). The language material shows that the genre of business microblogging is the result of mixing and contamination of oral and written registers of business discourse, as well as the emergence of new technical means of communication. A linguosynergetic analysis of propositions showed that the semantic structure is determined by the communicative intention of the addressee and, due to the small volume of messages, is based on two or three propositions connected by certain logical relationships. Further research on this topic can be carried out in the field of studying other genres and the influence of addressee factor in online communication.

Systemic Organisation of Climate Rhetoric in Political Discourse

“…An important property of open non-linear self-developing systems was observedthe synergism of meanings, the increment of meaning, but not the mechanical initial addition of propositions (Radyuk, 2016). Functional analysis also illustrates an important property of climate rhetoricdynamism (Radyuk et al, 2019). Like any open system, it is subject to the influence of external factors and fluctuations leading to a new state.…”

The Role Of Functional Analysis In Teaching English To Students Majoring In Economics

“…One of the branches of functional pragmatics is functional linguosynergetics (Kharkovskaya et al, 2020;Radyuk, 2016;Radyuk et al, 2019;Radyuk & Khramchenko, 2014), which went on to consider the pragmatic level of language as a system. According to Ponomarenko (2018), in terms of functional linguosynergetics, discourse is defined as "a self-organising system of senses formed in a text by an aggregate of all verbal means, which synergistically mobilizes their functional potential in order to actualise the speaker's communicative purport" (pp.…”
