Functional Sentence Perspective and Intonation Pattern of the Russian Speech Model {Так вот + [вопр. предл.]!}
The work is based on the original concept of three-level system of syntactic models, i. e. 1) basic language models (cf. “N1 Vf” - “Самолет летит” / “The jet flies” which provides a number of communicative variations), 2) speech syntactic models (cf. “Это / N1 Vf” - “Это / самолет летит” / [there is no straight English equivalent, ≈ “This is a jet flying”], where the functional sentence perspective and the word order are partly fixed, since Это may function only as the theme and always occupies the first place), and 3) utterance models (cf. “{вводн.когн. [(А, Так) это // N1 \ Vf!]}” - “А, так это, оказывается, // самолет \ летит!” / ≈ “Ah, so this is // a jet \ flying!”, where the functional sentence perspective, the word order and the certain words are strongly fixed which makes the model ready to function in a strictly prescribed type of communicative situations). The paper deals with a fragment of the microsystem of Russian identifying speech and utterance models. Against the background of a short general characteristics of the model “{Так вот + [вопр. предл.]!}” (“Так вот где таилась погибель моя!” ≈ “So this is where my death was hiding!”; “Так вот о чем ты думаешь!” ≈ “So this is what you’re thinking about!”) its functional sentence perspective and its intonation pattern are considered which possess some fixed features: metathesis of the theme and the rheme, the emphatic character of the rheme accent falling on the fusion “ВОТ + вопр.-отн. мест.”. The cases of deviation from this prototype: the emergence of secondary accents at the theme components - and the reasons for such deviations are analyzed.
