AXIOLOGY OF THE ORTHODOX HAGIOGRAPHICAL DISCOURSE OF THE MID-XV - XVII CENTURIES
Axiological studies in the domestic linguistics are carried out from the viewpoints of cultural linguistics, psycholinguistics, theory of speech acts, theory of world picture, discourse-analysis, text theory. The article is devoted to the semiotic description of the axiology of the Orthodox hagiographical discourse of the mid-XV - XVII centuries. The originality of the paper involves both the material of the research and the semiotic approach. The author identifies the basic values used in the temptation and the basic anti-values - in the intimidation and concludes about the prevalence of modal values rather than descriptive in the Orthodox hagiographical discourse.
