https://doi.org/10.24224/2227-1295-2020-9-111-127
Abstract
The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the verbalization of values in the Englishlanguage popular scientific pedagogical discourse. The author provides a definition of this type of discourse, which is a set of communicative practices serving the learning process. The author proceeds from the fact that the result of such communication are texts of a popular science orientation, which in this case are the material of research. A comprehensive linguoaxiological and pragma-discourse analysis of text fragments dedicated to the processes of teaching and learning foreign languages is carried out. Special attention is paid to the axiologically loaded conceptual meanings of popular science pedagogical discourse. It is shown that the discursive behavior of representatives of an educational institution is based on such value-determined concepts as EDUCATION, LANGUAGE and CULTURE. The author of the article dwells on the linguistic mechanisms and methods of actualizing these concepts in discourse, as well as their pragmatic potential. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time, popular scientific pedagogical discourse is considered as a type of discourse that translates its own axiological attitudes. The relevance of the study is due to the need to create conditions, which enable rapid and reliable adaptation of society to the ongoing socio-economic and intercultural processes, as well as the changing criteria and requirements of personal and professional development of a person.
