Linguistic and stylistic features of reflexive self-report in online communication (examplified by the feedback about neuroacoustic programs as a special speech genre)
The article considers the linguistic features of reflexive self-report in the Internet genre of feedback about neuroacoustic programs. The evaluation of neuroacoustic programs is based on the process and results of clients' self-observation. The conclusion about highly subjective and intimate nature of clients' self-presentation is made, as the dominant signs of self-reflection are manifested in the signals of self-referencing and linguistic self-assessment means. Self-identifying statements and their models are analyzed, egocentric linguistic means as signs of autoreflexion are described. It is established that the object of self-description is not the image of an “external” person as a member of society, but of an “internal” person at psychophysical, perceptual, emotional, mental and event levels. It is noted that the feedback structure is presented in two compositional speech forms: the description of results and the narrative, which includes various phases of the process of self-perception and self-identification.
