Pragmatic and Semantic Effects of Interpretative Derivation in Russian Indefinite-Personal Sentences
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the research in semantics and pragmatics of Russian indefinite-personal sentences as cases of interpretative actantial derivation: the omitted protagonist in these sentences acquires specific referential features. The study is focused on deixis, evidentiality and evaluation expressed in Russian indefinite-personal sentences. These meanings create special pragmatic effects, such as estrangement, suspense and defocusing.
Key words
indefinite-personal sentence, interpretative actantial derivation, semantics, deixis, evidentiality, pragmatics, translation
