Personal Sphere Of The Speaker (Based On The Regional Legislation Materials)

Abstract

The article gives an attempt to reconstruct their personal sphere: to identify what is close to them, what they are mostly interested in. The documents reflect social role of the speaker that is why social modus of the personal sphere is available for research. Personal sphere is recreated through studying the categories of control and (co)involvement, category of assessment with the help of which speakers estimate the world and their actions in it. The article justifies that inalienable permanent element of the personal sphere is the norm which forms the speaker’s behavior. The paper analyses such linguistic means of (co)involvement expression as ‘inclusive we’, personal deixis, relational nouns, verbs with the meaning of facilitation. The article regards linguistic means of control expression: verb categories, passive constructions with perfective verbs, infinitive constructions in imperative sentences. The author describes types of interaction between the speaker and the outer world. The article proves that the speaker initiates and coordinates the management process and is involved in it, sees the continuation of the own ‘self’ in his/her socially important actions.
