COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC AND SOCIO-CULTURAL ASPECTS OF the ENGLISH ENGINEERING DISCOURSE


Author:  Bolsunovskaya Lyudmila M.

Abstract:  The research focus of this work is the engineering discourse from the perspective of integrated analysis, which includes elements of cognitive linguistic, linguo-pragmatic and sociocultural approaches. The presented paper analyzes texts of a scientific and technical nature and highlights some discursive and rhetorical characteristics that confirm the social aspects of a specific professional discourse. The relevance of this work is determined by the need to systematize the accumulated research experience in the field of describing communicative pragmatic, structural-systemic, and functional-normative features of the language corps of engineering discourse. It is assumed that the study will contribute to a more complete description of the variant and invariant models of compatibility of the lexical and semantic units of engineering discourse, as well as sociocultural aspects that influence the process of its creation.
