THE TEXT-FORMING FUNCTION OF VARIATIVE RECURRENCES IN RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH MEDIA TEXT
The article deals with the role of extended variative recurrences (EVR) in the Russian and English media texts. EVR are the speech units, which are used in the text to repeat thoughts, ideas, theses that are meaningfully and conceptually significant from the point of view of a journalist. The fact of the presence of semantic repetitions in journalistic texts is seen as proof of universal character of the former for the process of text formation in general, i.e. for any type of speech (style). This statement is especially important due to the fact that previously it was considered that semantic repetitions belong to the speech units of a scientific text only.
