Abstract: The subject of the research is the emotional prosody of an utterance and its influence on the semantics of thereof. Even when sentences have the same lexicogrammatical structure, their intonation may express different emotional semes from zero to affect. Intonational system of the Russian language includes seven intonational constructions in the 'neutral' status, each of which can be viewed as a communicatory pragmatic type offering great potentials for expressing emotions. While the basic primary, or neutral, use of intonational constructions do not have any pragmatic information, their 'secondary' or modal expressions provide their pragmatic nature. In their research the authors have used a set of methods such as analysis and generalisation of theoretical material from various spheres of language studies, philosophy, psychology, didactics and methodologies for the purpose of further determination of the methodological research strategy; monitoring over educational activity of non-native speaker learners in the process of developing their communication and pragmatic competence in the Russian language. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that emotional prosody of the modern Russian language is considered to be the phonetic-phonological basis which allows to fulfill intentions and transfer of intonational statuses of a speaker in the process of his or her speech activity. Moreover, the authors also offer a set of terms that relate to the process of developing skills of phonetic-intonational speech formulation. These terms should be later introduced into the active vocabulary of terms of learners. Thus, the authors of the article touch upon topical issues of pragmalinguistics related to the phenomena of intention and intentionality. 

Keywords: phonetic-intentional speech formulation, intonational constructions, phonetic-intonational measures of language, emotional-modal values, pragmatic information, semantic-pragmatic capability of utterance, speech intent, speech act, intentions, relevant features.

Abstract: In his article Nilogov touches upon the problem of the ontological status of word/antiword which he understands as the manner and capacity in which the word exists naturally in human language. The topic is viewed from the point of view of methodological substantiation of philosophy of antilanguage as a new discipline created at the confluence of linguistics and philosophy. The subject of philosophy of antilanguage is the grounds and boundaries of a semiotic naming in human language as well as the dependence of the cognitive process on antilanguage. Antilanguage vocabulary consists of classes of antiwords. In his research Nilogov has used the antilanguage method which implies determination of partially or fully unspeakable units. These units are referred to particular classes of antiwords. As the examples of problematisation of the ontological status of word the author has used invariant language units that are used in language studies to denote unchanging 'linguistic atoms' versus changing variable units. As a result of the research, Nilogov has considered invariable speech and language units as so called antiwords. These antiwords are absent in natural language but obviously exist in antilanguage. Particularly, the author has defined the following classes of antiwords: invariantologisms (that are used to give name to abstract language units such as phonemes) and variantologisms (that are used to give name to abstract speech units such as phoneme allophones). 

Keywords: philosophy of language, philosophy of antilanguage, Chikobava, Solntsev, phoneme, invariance, ontological status, ontological status of word/antiword, invariantologism, variantologism
