“…The reason for this phenomenon is generally understandable, if we keep in mind that respectful communication is a sphere of strong iconism. For example, etiquette respectful formulas are always extended syntagmas, laconism of abbreviations is not in demand here (see for more details: Cherneyko, Li, 2020;Kulikova, Svetlichnaya, 2021;Zholtikova, 2017). According to our observations, this abbreviation has disappeared from the media space in recent years.…”

The pragmatic meanings of widely used nominations are the result of the constant dynamics of socio-cultural values. Word pragmatics knowledge makes it possible for the media text author to adequately implement intentions using various markers of their expression, and for the reader to interpret the intentions of the text author such as non-literal meaning, irony, pejorativeness or, conversely, meliorativeness. The pragmatic components should include such parameters of the word as its compliance/non-compliance with the spirit of time, fashion.The article analyzes the types of pragmatic components in the meaning of linguistic units based on the material of modern media texts, shows the dynamics of pragmatic connotations depending on socio-cultural conditions. The use of contextual and sociolinguistic analysis was chosen, as well as methods such as observation and interpretation, a synchronous-descriptive approach was used, as well as elements of diachronic description (to detect the dynamics of pragmatic meanings).The pragmatic component of semantics plays an important role in generating a media text, since the social co-meaning of a linguistic unit accompanying the subject-logical content turns out to be extremely significant. As it has been shown, in the collective linguistic consciousness there really exist words-pragmems expressing all these important characteristics.

This case study demonstrates identification, explicitation, and validation of the implicatures found in the Kommersant (Russia) Telegram channel posts. It explores the primary reasons for Kommersant’s implicature use and the language means employed for the creation of the implicature. The contributors to the Kommersant Telegram channel use irony/sarcasm, creative neologisms, wordplay, metaphors, and legally imposed euphemisms for the expression of the implicit meaning. The use of implicatures is mainly motivated by the authors’ desire for self-protection and cooperation. Kommersant’s implicit language also contributes towards the creation of a circle of loyal readers who may enjoy explicitating the implicatures so as to feel they belong to a specific socio-political group. The multi-stage perceptual analysis substantiates the assumption that readers with prior knowledge of Kommersant’s style are more sensitive to its implicatures. The report also concludes that at times of rigid war-time media regulation in Russia, Kommersant’s reporters use a code of implicit expressions as a means to preserve a certain objectivity in their reporting and to maintain their loyal readership.
