Yeshchenko T. Text categories: communicativeness, semantics, pragmatics.

This dissertation covers a systematic analysis of text categories in the semantic, pragmatic and communicative aspects. It defines a modern state of the scientific solution of the problem of the communicative nature of the text and a new approach to the interpretation of the text categories. It substantiates communicativeness as a hierarchically higher level of representation of the text categories; describes dialogism as a fundamental text category in the communicative activity of speakers. It defines the text category «anthropocentricity» as a basic constituent of the communicative model «Sender–Message–Receiver». It interprets the text as a communicative act between an author and recipient (Sender – Message – Receiver), a mediator and at the same time the final realization (result, production) of linguistic communication, which contains the system of information about pragmatic relations from the point of view of a subject (goal of artistic communication) and object, setting (receiver) of communicative goal, which in the process of the text development play the role of obligatory factors and form basic parameters of the text. The notion of the text category is defined as an invariant feature of the verbal whole, which reproduces its most significant features represented by the system of diversified linguistic, cultural and linguistic, compositional, aesthetic and other means able to interact in the process of explication of the communicative strategies and author’s intentions. It was proved that the text-organization categories are units related to the representation ability of peoples’ cogitation, basic points of cognitive speech-thinking activity and linguistic act – Person, Space and Time.
