Images of Reflected Reality in the Speech Genre "Reader's Response"

Abstract

The article examines reader feedback in the context of women's illustrated magazines. The purpose of the article is to present the speech genre "reader's response" as a holistic system-functional text formation that consists of two subsystems: content system and content presentation system (internal form). The goal is to solve the following tasks: 1) to explore "evaluativity" as an aggregate systemic quality of the speech genre "reader's response", which, on the one hand, is an expression of the cognitive-evaluative connection with the reflected reality, presented in the content system in the "images of femininity" and, on the other hand, it is an expression of communicative-evaluative relations in their value and emotional-evaluative aspects; 2) to study the content specifics of female readers' responses, substantively presented in the "images of femininity". The results of the study can be used as material for studying the functional aspect of the text and language, and would also help to develop adequate methods for studying communicative and speech processes within the framework of holistic finished works.
