Abstract:
The phenomenon of motive as an aspect of psychological category of a deed has been pointed out. Linguistic radical of motive understanding has been outlined, its relevance for textual linguistics has been substantiated. The connection of motive with the textual category “a man/human” and the sphere of textual senses has been observed. Motive has been presented as anthropic, value determined linguistic semantic and pragmatic textual category which is developed in the deep structure of the text where it is defined as the category of the viewpoint, and subordinates the category of modus, thus showing its essential features related to the conscious and unconscious inner states which urge to being active and provide realization of personal senses of the author (the narrator) and the characters. Value sense has been defined as the foundation feature of linguistic category of motive on the basis of the correlation between value-directed senses within the outlook and textual communicative senses. The principles of motive structure organization have been characterized, which, in its turn, agrees with the dynamics of modus plans of the text in the aspect of realization of invariant model “perceptive modus → emotive modus → mental modus → will modus”. Lingual signals of motive structure implanting into the semantic space and language markers of the motive activation have been revealed. The opposition of apriority and aposteriority motives has been outlined. The mechanism of development of aposteriority motive in its relation to apriority motive has been reproduced; the specificity of aposteriority motive structure has been highlighted. The relevance of aposteriority motive for the development of new shades of textual senses and enrichment of the basic value-directed sense has been defined. The point of view about apriority and aposteriority motives in respect to phase defining of the existential interaction of the subject with senses has been formulated.
