The study explores the cognitive process of interdiscourse switching which occurs in reading drama plays with the author's discourse fragments incorporated (Areas of Interest). The oculographic experiment reveals the gaze patterns and the discourse interpretation patterns, more and less typical of the process. The experiment is preceded by the para...
Contact-establishing is deservedly characterized as the major function of communication. Until recently, it has been mostly subjected to linguistic analysis aimed at identifying its discursive markers. Meanwhile, contact-establishing frequently appears in gesturing. The current work develops a cognitive view to gesture and speech alignment, and add...
The article explores two media discourse formats, film and TV interview as manifesting the specific distribution of two communicative modalities — speech and gesture — in the multimodal deixis of discourse space construal in narratives. To identify the attribution of speech and gesture to two media formats, the study contrasts the plot contents and...
This study addresses the problem of multimodal thinking of an individual exposed to immersive visual art that stimulates one’s transformation from an observer into a participant in the stimulus situation. To proceed, we conduct an experiment which tests a subject’s multimodal behavior at the stage with stimulus exposure (via one’s speech, gesture,...
The study explores the distribution and structure of multimodal clusters presenting a series of communicative moves in expositive dialogues: Request, Elaboration, and Response. We hypothesize that multimodal clustering of moves will be predetermined by the use of either common (for both participants) or novel topic elaboration as a nucleus move wit...
The paper explores multimodal collaboration in expository discourse considering verbal and nonverbal moves used by the participants in turn-taking. It reports the results of an experiment which tested speech, gesture and gaze alignment as affected by intentional and spontaneous communication. The results based on the 46-min long pilot subcorpus (ou...
The paper explores multimodal languaging of objects and words as an encultured practice. We report the results of the experiment where the participants explained the difference between close synonyms, enacting them as either objects or words in speech and gesture. The basic claim of the study is that speech and gesture as second-order language refl...
In the study, we address the problem of existing differences in reading and understanding novel metaphors in the text fragments in native and target languages (L1 and L2), with these differences potentially attributed to both the specifics of forming analogies in native and target languages, and the mapping characteristics of metaphors. The study i...
This paper explores accessibility effects in the gaze behavior of readers with different cognitive style, impulsive and reflective, as mediated by graphological and linguistic foregrounding in the discursive acts in 126 areas of interest (AOIs). The study exploits 1890 gaze behavior probes available at open access Multimodal corpus of oculographic...
The paper looks into the vague reference expressed in speech and gesture distribution in expository discourse. The research data are the monologues of 19 participants with total length of 2 hours 38 minutes. In these monologues, the use of vague reference (expressed in placeholders and approximators, with total amount of 2528) and functional gestur...
The study develops Event-modelling framework in scaling the impact of verbal automaticity in the gaze costs and the post hoc reports of the participants exposed to Text and Image stimuli. We reveal the construal operations in Referent, Event Frame and Perspective which serve as good predictors for the cases when higher verbal automaticity allows to...
The study develops the procedure of linguistic creativity assessment in multimodal secondary discourse with a text component. The procedure exploits the discursive category of linguistic creativity via its formal linguistic markers. To proceed, we address the primary discourse of children’s literature (short stories) and the secondary discourse of...
The study develops the algorithm of identifying intra-discursive linguistic creativity which results from subdiscourse variance. We hypothesize that its degree can be identified if we consider the parametric values of linguistic creativity in the subdiscourse types described by macroparameters. In case they manifest atypical values in the discourse...
This study is devoted to the discourse specificity of socio-communicative
register switching as a parameter of linguistic creativity. A contrastive analysis
of cinematic discourse and discourse of children’s literature helped to define
the characteristics of register and the criteria of socio-communicative dissonance,
which served to distinguish be...
Language creativity studies are now exploring new experimental methods which test the readers’ figurative thought. In the current work, we address the gaze behavior as contingent on figurative language construal in two participants’ groups with different amount of working memory. We verify the hypothesis that apart from metaphor types, novel and en...
The study explores the combinatorial prevalence effect in Event construal techniques in text and image components of heterosemiotic book pages. We hypothesize that their activity and contingency affect their interpretation, here tested in the oculographic experiment and discourse responses check. To proceed, we develop the parametric system applied...
This paper proposes Event-modelling Framework (EMF) to explore the systemic Event construal effects onto gaze. In two eye tracking experiments examining monomodal and cross-modal switches with a total number of 898 gaze probes of Text and Picture Areas of Interest (AOIs), we investigated gaze behavior variations produced by Event construal register...
The paper explores the distribution of gesture in staged and natural behavior in monologues. The research data are the cinematic (staged) and interview (natural) monologues featuring two discourse types, argumentation and description, produced by the same actors (5 women and 5 men). 1014 speech and gesture probes are annotated for 42 speech functio...
The study develops a functional multimodal approach to speech and gesture behavior to explore aestheticism in more and less staged discourse of cinema and interview. We hypothesize that cinema and interview employ the same communicative functions; however, these functions constitute different frameworks which contribute to the higher aesthetic pote...
The study explores the construal shifts from VISUAL PERCEPTION to COMPREHENSION image schemas (Grady, 2005) which the readers may face when they deal with the contexts employing the verb of visual perception видеть ( see ) in the Russian language. The aim of the study is to find out how different image schema types affect the readers’ gaze behavior...
The study explores the distribution of deictic words and gestures in multimodal explanatory discourse. To proceed, we compile the corpus of speech and gesture in which the experiment participants are explaining the difference between close synonyms. The study develops the method of modelling deixis as a discourse frame of reference which allows to...
This paper presents the results of a study the CdS QDs and nanostructures of CdS / ZnS QDs obtained by the sol - gel technology in an aqueous solution of gelatin and the effect of storage on their luminescence. An increase in the luminescence intensity was found after storage the samples in air. It is revealed that the highest growth factor of the...
Contemporary discourse studies face the necessity to develop the methods of contrastive sub-discourse analysis which apply numeric and comparable data to diversify and describe sub-discourse types. The aim of the research is to propose a method of discourse profiling serving the purpose, and to further test the method in the contrastive study of li...
The article features the results of contrastive analysis of phraseological creativity in two discourse types, cinematic discourse and discourse of children’s literature. In the study, we develop the parametric approach to linguistic creativity, with the parameter of phraseology displaying both language and discourse specific character. Two compiled...
The optical and luminescent properties of nanostructures of CdS / ZnS QDs and CdS QDs doped with lithium, obtained by the sol-gel technology in an aqueous solution of gelatin, have been studied. It was determined from the optical absorption spectra of the CdS / ZnS QD nanostructures that the thickness of the shell layer corresponds to the thickness...
In the study the method of ascension developed by Ju.S. Stepanov to explore the modifications in logical and philosophical dimensions of language is applied to explore cognitive-semiotic dimensions of optimal linguistic creativity. Following the system of linguistic creativity dimensions offered by O. K. Iriskhanova, which are formal, cognitive and...

The study reveals the reading and construal techniques employed in the process of textual entrenchment of indirect nominal groups. Entrenchment is characterized by the conventionalization of the nominal group form and the repeated referent construal scheme. The research discloses whether any repeated indirect nominal group use contributes to its en...
The article explores the specificity of linguistic creativity in the discourse of children's English-language adventure fiction of the 1950s. The aim of the research is to develop the parametrization and vector-space method of discourse and text linguistic creativity assessment to evaluate the linguistic creativity potential of individual texts dis...
The aim of the paper is to determine how salient and non-salient figurative discourse nouns affect readers’ default response processing and oculo-graphic (eye-movement) reactions. Whereas the theories of the Graded Salience and the Defaultness Hypotheses, developed by R. Giora (Giora, 1999, 2003; Giora, Givoni, & Fein, 2015), have stimulated furthe...
The article discusses the role of the age factor in the readers’ comprehension of stylistically heterogeneous texts, here the text fragments containing figurative noun groups of salient and non-salient character. The salience effects on eye movement and default responses are studied in the oculographic experiment where the secondary school children...
The research explores the perspective construal techniques applied in predicate indirect noun groups in Russian. In this case, the discourse perspective is construed with a highly salient ob-ject of perspective in the construed frame of reference. To achieve this effect, the speaker / narrator chooses a particular type of predicate indirect noun gr...
The study develops the algorithm of typicality analysis within heterosemiotic units which integrate various semiotic systems and subsystems (multimodal and polycode). The algorithm is tested in four heterosemiotic units of text and image, speech and gesture, multi-discourse and multistylistic unities. The algorithm is a six-step procedure, it defin...
The article approaches textual foreground specifics of indirect non-entrenched names and nominal groups in the Russian language. These constructions reveal the results of particular focus shifts with both identifying and characterizing or classifying components as part of their referent representation. To foreground them, the author uses a group of...
Cadmium-sulfide nanocrystals are produced by the colloidal method. Doping with zinc and copper is conducted during nanocrystal growth. The optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra are studied. The maximum concentration of the optically active copper impurity is determined from a shift of the fundamental absorption edge to lower energies. It...
The article presents the research method of triangulation in parametric analysis of textual interpretation, where a written text containing co-referent and co-ordinate indirect non-entrenched names with direct names in pre-position serves as the object of study. The empirical study of contemporary prose Russian written texts demonstrates the interp...
The research deals with embodied cognition in indirect naming, viewed as a dynamic process that takes place in discourse. 3100 indirect names and nominal constructions used in modern English and Russian fiction texts are selected for the analysis. Whereas indirect names tend to be unconven-tional and thus conserve their motivation in text, the meth...
