PRECEDENTED PHENOMENA AS A MEANS OF FORMING THE NATIONAL-LINGUISTIC IDENTITY OF A MODERN STUDENT

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive theoretical and analytical review of the phenomenon of precedent as one of the key features of human consciousness within the framework of the anthropocentric paradigm of modern linguistics. Scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concept of precedent and precedent phenomena, presented in the works of domestic and foreign researchers, are systematized and generalized. Precedence is a property of consciousness to reproduce and actualize culturally significant verbal and non-verbal signs that function as carriers of collective memory, value orientations and cognitive models of a certain linguistic and cultural community. It is emphasized that the minimum unit of precedent is the precedenteme – a cognitively significant conceptual and symbolic model that denotes meaning, function and form in their unity. Special attention is paid to the analysis of typologies and classifications of precedent phenomena. The work highlights the multidimensional typological matrix of J. Koloiz, which takes into account the sphere of functioning, cognitive and axiological significance, character, origin, duration of existence, type of coding and effectiveness of the use of precedent phenomena. We would like to separately note the classification by the level of cognitive activation of the recipient, national prevalence, as well as by source and cultural conditioning. The conceptual basis of the study is the classification of precedent phenomena for the formation of verbalization, according to which verbal and verbalized precedent phenomena are distinguished. Each variety is characterized in detail, their cognitive, pragmatic and axiological functions in discourse are clarified, as well as the mechanisms of actualization of intertextual connections and the formation of additional meanings in the recipient text. The article substantiates that precedent phenomena constitute the core of the cognitive base of a linguistic personality, ensure the continuity of cultural experience, the effectiveness of national and intercultural communication, and also serve as a tool for identifying «one’s own» and «alien» within the linguistic and cultural space. The obtained generalizations have theoretical value and can be used in lexicographic practice.
