FUNCTIONAL RANGE OF THE FORMS OF REJECTIONS AS A REFLECTION OF THE VALUE PICTURE OF THE WORLD (BASED ON THE LANGUAGE PERSONALITIES OF DR. BYKOV AND DR. HOUSE FROM THE TV SERIES ‘INTERNS’ AND ‘HOUSE, M.D.’)

Abstract

Тhe article refl ects the results of professionally oriented speech discourse analysis of two linguistic individuals from diff erent social and cultural environments, but with similar education and profession. The analysis was aimed at identifying integral and diff erential features within fragments of the value picture of the world of diff erent countries, estimation dominants that determine the speech behavior of these linguistic individuals. A comparative analysis of utterances that explicitly or implicitly contain negations within dialogic units allowed us to describe the functional range of speech tactics and strategies containing negations, the relationship of pragmatic tasks with value guidelines that determine the specifi cs of the speaker’s speech and non-speech behavior, the features of motivational and axiological systems in diff erent levels of communication within the professional hierarchy. Particular attention is paid to the emotional background that accompanies denials and a comparative analysis of psycho-emotional reactions at all stages of the study of speakers' speech discourse. Both linguistic personalities are marked by a deviant type of behavior, which is of particular interest for analysis because it regularly goes beyond the norm, thereby demonstrating an atypical functional range of linguistic means in typical communicative situations. As a result of the analysis, a number of similar characteristics were discovered, such as dedication to the profession, protection of personal space, and confi dence in one’s own rightness. Using similar speech tactics and strategies, Dr. Bykov and Dr. House convey completely diff erent values. Dr. House is characterized by a greater extent of individualism, he is little concerned about the problems and emotions of others. Doctor Bykov, on the contrary, feels responsible for everyone and for everything that happens in his department, demonstrates overprotection, which refl ects the fact that not only his own perception matters to him, but the emotional reaction of the outside world, which indicates on close correlation of individual and national pictures of the world.
