“…Следовательно -во-вторых -необходимо подчеркнуть роль персуазивности и во многих отношениях смежной с ней манипуляции в научной практике в целом [Голоднов 2010; Чернявская 2014] и, в частности, в научно-обучающей практике Nefedov 2019], базирующихся в значительной мере на категории оценки. В рамках персуазивной коммуникации адресант реализует стратегию воздействия на сознание реципиента посредством вербальных [Голоднов 2010: 81], но также, как отмечает К. Шёнбах, и невербальных средств -любых систем семиотических знаков [Schönbach 2019: 26].…”

The article examines the place of illustrative material in college textbooks on sociology in German and Russian seen as multimodal texts, in which verbal, visual, and graphic codes merge into an integral entity. Attention is paid to the problem of evaluation through the prism of visual and graphic elements in textbooks. These aspects are the novelty of the study. The relevance stems from the increasing interest in multimodality as a result of the realization that the study of multimodality requires an integrated approach. Relevance is also manifested in the fact that evaluation in scientific educational practice is a priority subject of sociolinguistics and pragmatics. The research is based on a critical multimodal discourse analysis, in which a comprehensive interpretation of the book text is carried out. We state that the very use of illustrative material is an evaluative strategy, since images, tables, etc. serve as a means of vivid and compact presentation of the most relevant — from the point of the author’s view — information. Illustrations add expressiveness and emotionality to the text, help structure and gradate information by its importance. The texts accompanying illustrations reveal both the explicit and implicit authorial stance and the engagement tactics. In terms of linguistic and cultural specificity, it was discovered that the Russian text-books are more saturated with visuals, graphics. While the authors of German textbooks use evaluation more, especially hedging of their statements (conjunctive, modal verbs, passive), the Russian textbooks tend to express a more categorical evaluation.

“…Categorical manifestations in written scientific works can be illustrated by the example of scientific reviews, thesis report reviews and extended abstract reviews. These scientific genres comply with the norms of scientific ethics and ideally tend towards an indirect expression of negative assessments and are thereby oriented towards non-categorical opinions (Nefedov, 2019).…”

The article views categoricalness as a communicative category functioning in the scientific discourse and adversely affecting the process of scientific communication. The results of the discourse and contextual analysis of categoricalness revealed its correlation with the communicative categories of politeness, authoritativeness, confidence, subjectivity, and emotionality. The analysis of the texts of scientific reviews, oral discussions, and disputes allowed the authors to conclude that Russian scientific communication is characterized by a high level of categoricalness, which suggests potential conflictogenity in such type of interaction. The article discusses ways of neutralizing categoricalness through the use of several mitigation tools, including lexico-stylistic and syntactical ones, intended to eliminate the destructive component from scientific communication

The paper discusses the notion of social meaning that has become a central one in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, metapragmatics. The study was informed by these research directions and the main outcomes. The term social meaning pinpoints what linguistic forms convey about the social identity of the users, about their personality, social features and ideologically, value-based orientations. We presume that this is a category of meaning that a linguistic unit (an utterance) obtains as a result of its usage in a certain context. Social meanings are fixed by social practice. It acts as an index to the context in which the linguistic unit is expected to be used and relevant. Indexical relations are open for re-evaluations that are mediated by speakers ideological views. The study is based on German socio-cultural practice and reveals how indexical relations arise between a linguistic unit and the socio-cultural environment, the social occasion of its usage. The analysis is conducted as corpus-assisted discourse analysis, based on the «Digital dictionary of the German language» / «Das Digitale Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache»
