ntury. Since radio and TV have become a part of our lives they have brought the new specific trends into the language. Even ordinary people distinguish the language of news readers and the language of political debates or political propaganda. It is possible thanks to the differences in intonation and other prosodic features, which are the object of the research of phonetics and phonology. br/>
1.3 Taxonomy of texts
is quite obvious that the scientists needed to classify texts they worked with, so some research work has been done. There exist several approaches. For example, A.G. Baranov prefers a functional-pragmatic approach. He also mentions a sociolinguistic, a lingvosemiotic and psycholinguistic approaches. Not all of them are equally developed. Moreover, they include different massives of texts. approach deals with the principles of selection and combination of linguistic means, their combinatorics, with regard to different spheres of communication, social status and the roles of participants of communication. approach is based on the different types and aspects of sign relation. approach resorts to various characteristics of textual activity as basic factors, eg classifying texts by their degree of spontaneity or by the degree of algorithmicity heuristic character or by the degree of their explicitness implicitness in the exterioration of the ideas. Generally, the texts as speech acts may be classified by the form of transferring the information or by the aim of communication (by pragmatic aim of the speaker). For example, the aim of the text might be: informentertaininfluenceeducatewith the internal (linguistic) factors go such additional external factors as speaker's social status, gender and age, the emotional state, attitude to the subject etc., These targets form a system of styles . br/>
1.4 Phonostylistics. Phonetic styles and pragmatic aims of the speaker
about phonetic aspect of the problem, we should remark that phonetic styles are not the same as functional styles. Professor T.V. Medvedeva defines phonetic styles as "different ways of pronunciation determined by extralinguistic factors and characterized by specific phonetic factors". Thus, phonostylistics focuses on the phonetics means restricted to a particular situation or type of context. . V. Medvedeva distinguishes the phonetic styles of reading aloud, prepared speaking and spontaneous speaking, each of them further subdividing into an array of varieties (ie prepared speaking is presented by lecturing, interviewing, all kinds of discussion, etc.) Other scholars may classify the phonetic styles as informational, academic (scientific), publicistic and conversational, and that is closer to functional styles that we are used to in the terms of literature science .. K. Tseplitis speaks about "intonational functional styles", namely, four v...
