PRESUPPOSITION AS A WAY OF CONNECTING PRAGMALINGUISTIC FEATURES OF LINGUISTIC UNITS

Abstract

The main goal of the work is to reveal from a stylistic perspective the ontological characteristics of presupposition as a property of the text and to establish the functions of text presupposition. Presupposition is a multidimensional phenomenon. It is connected not only with the content side of linguistic units, but also with the pragmatic side - with communicants, their ideas, and worldview. The pragmatic side of the presupposition - the connection with the subject of speech - predetermines its stylistic meaning. The factor of familiarity/unknown of the presupposition to the reader is the basis of various ways of conveying information in the text that have a stylistic effect.
