Text is a linguistic unit of communication in which linguistically
expressed conceptual units are connected in different conceptual
structures. The conceptual construal of things, events and
relations is structured on the basis of a variety of cognitive and
communicational options. These choices form discourse schemas,
partly in a culturespecific way. There is a dynamic relationship
between schema and instantiation. The volume approaches these
questions from a functional perspective, where the processual
nature of discourse is as important as its structural character.
The volume has two parts: the first one presents theoretical
papers, the second deals with certain discourse types, and some
linguistic features that characterize specific discourse types.
Style is an important component of communication: it is the how in
communicating the what, demonstrating the ontological unity of the
two in language variability that provides the ground for the
functioning of what-how and what-for. This volume approaches style
within the framework of cognitive linguistics, a usage-based
functional model, which interprets language as being conceptual,
whereas conceptual knowledge is interpreted as experiential.
Consequently, style is considered not as a set of predetermined
ornaments on texts, but as a system of context-sensitive
probability schemes of formation contributing to the meaning of
discourse. Style is the outcome of linguistic potential,
constrained by socio-cultural factors, functioning in the on-line
and consolidated stylistic structure of discourse.
