Negatívna axiologická disponibilita jazykových prostriedkov: predpoklady a konzekvencie
Axiological Non-Availability of Language Means: Prerequisites and Consequences

Summary/Abstract: The central theme of this study is the axiological non-availability of language means in Slovak. It is defined as an inherent semantic-axiological perspective of the language means that determines the syntactic structures of their use and influences the meaning and adequacy of communication interactions. Since the non-available language means involve pragmatically sensitive expressions, will we be interested in exploring the licensed contexts in which they are used by the speakers. As a basic explanatory construct in egolinguistics, the speaker operates as a person and also in terms of his/her communication roles in linguistic semantics. The study focuses on (a) the issue of attitude and focalization, which is associated with the speaker, and (b) identity and circumstances of distribution of the expressions with a strong and weak non-availability. Our reasoning will be based on the use of the inference scheme known as “abduction”, and/or “abductive explanation”. The data used in our research were taken from the Slovak National Corpus.
