Abstract:

The article discusses the relationship between the concepts of language identity (personality) and communicative identity (personality). The author compares the three planes for express-ing language identity proposed by I. V. Karasik with the three-level model of language identi-ty developed by Yu. N. Karaulov and concludes that both frameworks share the same under-standing of the concept. Based on the understanding of the concept that originates in the para-digm of linguistic conceptualism and cultural linguistics (which, in addition to verbal expres-sion, contains associative images and emotional assessments by carriers of certain ethnic cul-tures), the author proves that the communicative identity may qualify as both emotive and communicative. Important to the study are theoretical provisions on the semantics of the con-cept: the so-called pragmaticon and its relationship with the expressive and illocutionary func-tions of the language. In addition, the author focuses on the category of emotiveness which is expressed in the lexical meaning of the word and fixes the value component of the language. The author makes his conclusions based on Shakhovsky’s monograph, which speaks of the emotional component of the language, either explicitly or latently present in any linguistic sign, which becomes the shared basis for studying concepts in the space of polyparadigmality. In this case, the difference between the concept of emotionality and that of emotivity turns out to be significant, since the first is a psychological characteristic of the subject while the sec-ond is defined as a linguistic expression of emotions. This differentiation causes some diffi-culties in translating literary texts into other languages. The author notes that in this case, emotive losses are possible, since the emotional continuum is much wider than the linguistic one, and not all nuances of emotions may have corresponding lexical expressions. Two more key points in the author’s reasoning about the essence of the concept in the field of emotiolo-gy are the correlation “emotiveness — connotation” as well as the idea that the emotive po-tential of a word or a text is meaning-making based on its emotive valency, through which actual emotives and potentials can be rethought. In the conclusion of the study, the author proposes his own understanding and interpretation of the concept “concept.”
