TONE AS A SITUATIVE PAGMATIC SYSTEM UNITY

Аннотация

In linguistics, it is important to distinguish between a series of similar events, to combine events with the same informational value, position in the linguistic system and the same function into the same paradigm or sequence from a purely linguistic point of view. Often in a language system, the events that make up a mutual association have the same value, so minor differences between them are considered insignificant for the system. However, subsequent linguistic studies have shown that as long as there are several units of commonality, essence, possibilities and causes in a language system, none of these units is insignificant for the system, they are in some respects different and require each other. In order to convey certain information to the listener in a given speech situation, “one” (necessary, appropriate) is selected from several equally valuable events in the language system. The selected units are non-linear factors (factors associated with the conditions of speech, means, the process of communication, the state of the speaker and the listener, mood, attitude towards each other, national-cultural, age, sex; tone, speech, gestures; sign, etc. ..). Non-linguistic factors do not seem to be related to linguistic system, linguistic meaning, linguistic value in the speech system. However, every unit that linguistics evaluates as a non-linear factor (extralinguistic, paralinguistic ...) is very important for the communication process. Even sometimes in the process of speaking, non-verbal units are more important and valuable than speech units. This means that just as there is no insignificant event in language, there is no reality in speech that is not important for the speech system. Let's try to prove this idea with the example of tone.
