ОСНОВНЫЕ ЗАКОНОМЕРНОСТИ АНГЛОЯЗЫЧНОГО ДИСКУРСА

The deep analysis of the lexical and grammatical database of the actual English-language discourse allows to produce a synthesis – to generalize and to deduce its basic laws (regularities ). There are six basic interrelated and interdependent regularities of the English-language discourse. According to the law of «cause and effect» an individual”s thought (idea) is a cause and a language symbol is an effect (a consequence).Any individual thinks and his mind produces thoughts, ideas, mind (mental) images. A mind (mental) image is a bright, coloured, picturesque, living, volumetric picture manifested in any individuals consciousness . Mind (mental) image сan be a lie, a world of fantasy, an illusion having nothing in common with real life. When expressed by a formal element of the hierarchy of discourse (word/ combination of words (word-group)/sentence/ super – phrasal unity / text) any mind image acquires the quality of a mind form, so-called «thought – form» as far as any essence is always formed up and any form has got its essence. Mind forms (thought-forms) are absolutely true to life, to objective reality. In the process of coding and decoding English-language discourse our mind forms are to be exclusively expressed by propositional symbols. They are Proposition, Microproposition and Macroproposition. Proposition is considered to be a true, real, elementary symbol of information identification and the basic communicative unit of discourse. Proposition is a sentence consisting of at least two explicit elements: Subject and Predicate. Predicate as a centre of Proposition itself bears its essence («state of affairs») and determines its structure. All the verb-predicates are subjected to models and patterns. English Predicate has got two patterns («TO BE» / «Not TO BE»). Proposition involves in both the situations of sentences and the situations of word – groups, as any individual can never think a thought without Predicate and a referring element – Subject. Microproposition corresponds to a word-group (combination of words) including Nominalization (implicit Predicate) and Infinitivization (implicit Subject). Predicate belongs to Infinitivization. Macroproposition is a title of a macrostructure – Text (Topic). It can be usually expressed by a word-group. Macroproposition reveals the general idea of the content of the text (discourse). Thus, an individuals mind images or/ and mind forms can be reproduced exclusively by propositional symbols of the English-language discourse.
