BINARY OPPOSITION OF FASCINATION VULNERABILITY/RESILIENCE IN ENGLISH CINEMATIC DISCOURSE

Main Article Content

O. GOLOVKO

Abstract

The article examines the binary opposition of the addressee's fascination vulnerability /resilience in the diegetic space of English cinematic discourse. The aim of the study is to identify the specific influence of the addressee's communicative style on his perception of fascination, serving as a marker of fascination vulnerability / resilience. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time, the communicative styles of the addressee of a fascination communicative situation in English cinematic discourse have been identified; the author proposed new linguistic definitions “fascination vulnerability” / “fascination resilience” which make explicit the degree of fascination influence upon the recipient. The study established that the success of a fascination communicative situation is predetermined by the addressee's communicative style. An assertive listener is characterized by constructive and partner-oriented behaviour of fascination vulnerability/loyalty, which presupposes the comfortable and effective communication between the inter-locutors. The antifascinative behaviour of an aggressive addressee is characterized by destructiveness and a competitive nature, which impacts negatively on the communication indicating a high degree of fascination resilience.
