OCCASIONAL SPEECH COMPRESSION BY THE MEANS OF INCORPORATED COMPLEXES
https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2022-2-1105
Abstract
Aim. A review of those morphological and syntactic features of incorporated complexes (IC) that allow them to become a means of speech compression.
Methodology. The phenomenon of incorporation is studied from the point of view of morphological classification of languages. The use of ICs as speech nonce phrases expanding the scope of the utterance is considered. The methods used are those of system analysis, continuous sampling, component word-formation and paradigmatic analysis.
Results. The peculiar syntactic status of the IC is demonstrated. Its transitional polysynthetic grammatical nature is revealed. The ability of the IC to name situations and to expand the discourse provided the similarity of the background knowledge of the author and the recipient is stated. Its aptitude for situational compression is proved due to its property of allusiveness and the ability to cite any situations preceding the act of communication.
Research implications. The work contributes to the tradition of combining the principles of studying the language as a system and speech as its implementation – on the example of incorporation. The dialectics is shown in the character of functioning of IC in speech.
