THE TERM "DISCOURSE" AS A NOMINATION OF A COMPLEX OF REPRESENTATIONS
The article considers the possibility of integration of different variants of comprehending the term “discourse” on the basis of the complex of representations about it. The author''s understanding of this phenomenon is the one based on the idea of multiplicity as well as on its instrumental function in a professional text activity. A suggested model of the discourse is examined not only as a means of representation of the object which is not observed but as an instrument of work with textual information as well.
