Structural characteristics of discourse communication

Abstract

At the present paper the aspects of linguistic consciousness and communicative behaviour are discussed. Some likeness between the concepts reflected in linguistic consciousness and the scripts reflected in communicative behaviour are described. Valuable components are expressed in the text through inner composition meaning, determined by the stereotypes as well as through the image of the situation (the setup) and the succession of communicative steps - the scenes (the scenario). According to the axiological linguistics communicative behaviour can be represented as a multifayer formation with the following components: meaning, set up, scenario, script. An example of communicative behaviour of lecture participants in the academic discourse is given. The typical actions of participants in the communication are based on the situation and determined by their cultural values.
