A Dynamic Model of Orality: Justification and Description
https://doi.org/10.24224/2227-1295-2025-14-2-94-115
Abstract
This article is dedicated to the description of the structure and principles of functioning of a dynamic model of orality. Within the framework of the model, spoken language is regarded as a dynamic process. The model facilitates the identification of structural, linguistic, prosodic, and other changes that account for the uniqueness and individuality of natural communicative processes or preprepared oral manifested texts. The relevance of this research is underscored by the growing interest in the analysis of spoken discourse. The novelty of this work lies in its potential to provide a schematic representation of the communication process or oral manifested text by identifying unique characteristics (manifested solely in this auditory presentation) that reflect moments of dynamic enhancement or attenuation. The model described contrasts with static classifications of orality used to identify general stylistic, linguistic, communicative, and other features. The aim of the study is to present a dynamic model of orality: to describe its structure, operational principles, and areas of application. The model is represented as a rectangular coordinate system with axes of spontaneity and formality. Its operational principle is based on revealing the dynamics generated by the variability of verbal means employed and changes in the communicative context. Practical applications of the model are envisioned within the analysis of spoken discourse in comparative studies.
