Informativity - is the main category of the text, its ability to convey information, i.e. certain meaningful contents. The concept of information embraces a number of problems overstepping the limits of purely linguistic research. One of them is the problem of the new (the unknown). It is quite obvious, that the new can't be subjected to consideration without taking into account social, psychological, scientific, cultural, age, time and other factors.
Kinds of Information(by Galperin) - content-factual (CFI.)- reports about facts, events, processes which took place, or are taking place or will take place in the surrounding world, real or imaginary
- b) content-conceptual (CCI)- understanding of the cause and effect connections, their significance in the social, economic, political and cultural life of the people, including the relations between separate individuals, and their complex psychological, aesthetic and cognitive interaction
- c) content- subtextual or implicit, CST)- its nature, it is not
- expressed in the verbal layer of the text. It is a kind of sub-current concealed information that can be derived from CFI thanks to the ability of the language units to engender associative and connotative meanings as well as thanks to the ability of sentences united into syntactical wholes to convey increment of sense.
- In compositions of emotive prose textual modality is realized in the
- basis of certain regularities. Subjective evaluating attitude to the object of utterance, as a rule, doesn't reveal the essence of a phenomenon, but only colours it correspondingly, and gives a notion of the author's world outlook. Therefore textual modality more frequently finds its place in relative spans of the text, which don't carry the main factual information, but not in predicative spans, which are mostly imbued with facts. Yet, in the process of linear development of the text accentuation can be shifted and relative spans may gradually acquire the status of predicative ones.
