The following article attempts to present the use of two-way action verbs with the limited iteration markers. The main aim of the article is to analyze the factors determining the choice of perfective or imperfective aspects of two-way action verbs with a central and a peripheral group. The effect cancellation factor determines the use of imperfective aspect in the context of limited iteration markers. The annulment of the effect cancellation factor results in the use of perfective aspect with a central and a peripheral group markers.

In the Soviet totalitarian discourse there are two intertwined types of the axiological scale: universal and ideological valuation. A reliable analysis of a discourse of this kind requires a precise separation of the two types. One of the effective analytical tools may be the concept of the ideologeme. This paper attempts to define it and to present a method of verifying the “ideological” character of communicative acts by pairing them according to the principle of axiological polarity within antagonistic discourses. Instead of treating the ideologeme (or more precisely: an implementation of the ideologeme) as a unit “referring” or “related” to the ideological area, it is worth to consider defining it as a unit distinctive in a given ideology (or political gnosis). Implementations of ideologemes are always marked axiomatically. In conditions of familiar discourse they will always involve positive values, while as parts of an antagonistic discourse, these values will be negative. This assumption may facilitate a move away from intuitive identification of textual implementation of concepts of this type, or, at least, will be useful as a starting point for a procedure verifying the researcher’s intuition. The ideologemic character of a textual unit can be established on the basis of a specially prepared test that juxtaposes two implementations presenting opposite values within ideological oppositional discourses.
