On Types of Anthropocentric Elements in Semantics of Discursive Words (by Material of French and Russian Languages)
The article is devoted to the analysis of the elements of meaning with the semantic sign of ‘man' (anthropocentric elements) on the material of the Russian and French languages. Their role in the semantics of formal tokens and discursive words is discussed. The classification of a number of hidden anthropocentric elements is proposed, substantiation of this classification is given. Novelty of research consists in that such elements are related not only to a speaker and an observer, as in many works on similar topic, but to a carrier of a point of view, norm, a scale controller. The results of the additions of modern service descriptions and discursive words are presented. The author notes that the existing descriptions of the semantics for indicating an implicit presence of the element man use the impersonal construction or indicate the internal state of one of the main semantic actants (X wants, X believes that, X is experiencing the condition Y), or introduce the indicators of logical, emotional, probabilistic assessment, that is individualized figure behind the scenes is explicitly absent. It is proposed to include in the semantic description various types of anthropocentric elements of the hidden plan instead of combining them under the names of a speaker or an observer .
