Intra-Family Dialogues about Profession: Linguoaxiological Interpretation

Abstract

The paper presents the results of linguoaxiological analysis of two intra-family dialogues. Audio recordings of 60-minute duration were made in Ekaterinburg in 2018. Communicative partners: daughter – student of 18 years, mother – teacher of 44 years; daughter – student of 19 years, mother – cake baker of 42 years. The object of the analysis is the speech parties of the participants of the communicative interaction. The research purpose is to give orthologous, linguocommunicative, axiological characteristic of dialogues, to identify linguocultural type of personality according to live speech. During the orthological analysis of speech parties of daughters the tendency to use slang terms and expressional lexicon is found, unintentional violation of the codified language norms is recorded. In remarks of mother – cake baker certain features of the urban Urals vernacular are traced, which do not violate the general literary aspect of speech. Both mothers are particular in correctness of their daughters' speech and, taking the position of a communicative leader, regulate the content and phatic components of family communication. The article summarizes the features of intra-family cooperative communication: frankness, mutual orientation, the right to an independent point of view, the dozed use of categorical imperatives and the words of unrest. A special subject of linguoaxiological analysis is the development of a common for both dialogues strategical theme "the path to the profession", included in the mother's biographical time. Interpretation of the basic values nominations, axiological judgments, self-esteem statements allowed to characterize the signs of a linguocultural type of a working mother who chose a profession by vocation: love for the family and love for the profession, conceptual thinking, sense of responsibility, propensity for self-analysis, verification of alternative axiological choice, spiritual but not utilitarian value preferences.
