Abstract:

The present paper introduces the dialogical concept of textual motivation. The establishment of textual motivation as an independent academic discipline is predicated on epistemological and ontological foundations. Epistemological underpinnings facilitating the text motivology identification as a distinct scientific discipline are examined, focusing on the prerequisites for studying textual motivation as an independent phenomenon. The originality of our method for analyzing textual motivation stems from our redefinition of its object and our argument that textual motivation is inherently dialogic, acquiring its ontological standing through the communicative function of language. The dialogical concept of the textual motivation is predicated on two regulating provisions: (1) the textual motivation is manifested through the medium of a dialogue; (2) a dialogue can be regarded as the precursor of the motivational relationships observed in speech. Textual motivation is defined as the syntagmatic-paradigmatic equivalence of the initial and response remarks in a dialogic unity. One hypothesis proposes that textual structure comprises a series of syntagmatic-paradigmatic relationships formed through reiterated syntagmatic chains or reiterated word forms and their derivational transformations. This hypothesis serves as a supposition for a response in a dialogue to be formed. The internal form of a text is pivotal in determining the paradigmatic-syntagmatic equivalence of the initial and response remarks, thereby establishing a dialogical unity. The existence of motivational relationships between dialogue lines is illustrated by the example of a virtual dialogue.

Keywords: dialogue, motivated text, internal form of the text, text motivology, equivalence of lines, dialogical concept
