THE ROLE OF METALINGUISTICS FACTORS IN THE FORMATION OF INDIRECT-CAUSATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS
This study is devoted to the role of extra-linguistic factors in the formation of output-substantiation structures (according to the terminology of E. S. Yarygin), or non-self-causal constructions (according to the terminology of Russian Grammar 1980). These designs have a number of formal features that distinguish them from the causal ones, however, it was noted that often these signs are not present in full composition, and sometimes they may be absent in principle. The main feature of non-self-causal constructions is a special semantics: the presence of a marked mode of opinion in the main part. Of particular difficulty are the cases when the modus is marked with extralinguistic means. Pragmatic presuppositions of the addresser (the creator of the text) and the addressee (of the recipient of the text) act as such means. The discrepancy between the addresser’s and the addressee’s presuppositions leads to the appearance of intermediate cases: sentences that can be identified both as causal and non-proper-causal, therefore, when analyzing a sentence, it is necessary to take into account the environmental factor: “who” created the text (addresser), and “to whom” - what kind of audience (addressee) he counted on. This can be done only if the sentence is analyzed in context, and the volume of the required segment of text can vary from several preceding and subsequent sentences to several paragraphs or even the entire text.
