Тhe linguo-cognitive style of journalist (analytical radio interview study)

The paper is devoted to creation of the concept of study of individual speech style of the journalist in the dynamic, explanatory aspect as the style of verbal and cogitative activity. The correlation between the cognitive style (cognitive operations intensified in journalistic activity), the linguistic picture of the world of the journalist (in its axiological aspect) and individual speech models is established and described. This chain of regularities is called a linguo-cognitive style. The research is in the cognitive direction of modern linguistics (aspect: cognitive operation individual speech style), the linguopersonology direction (aspect: individual speech style type of the linguistic picture of the world of the journalist), in media linguistics (study of the style of publicistic texts), in journalism axiology (research of the publicistic picture of the world). Verification of the offered concept of the description of the individual style of the journalist is carried out by example of publicistic texts (oral speech) of journalists in the radio program "Dissenting Opinion" / "Ekho Moskvy" radio station. By genre this program is the analytical interview on a political issue. Permanent participants of the program are well-known political journalists (V. Shenderovich, A. Prokhanov, M. Shevchenko, N. Svanidze, D. Bykov, L. Radzikhovsky, L. Mlechin, L. Rubenstein, etc.). From the position of the linguo-cognitive analysis of the journalists' style, texts of the program are an indicative material for research. They are a model of oral, spontaneous speech of journalists. Spontaneity of the statement most distinctly highlights typical linguo-cognitive features of the speaker. Thus, linguists pay attention to irreversibility, linear and forward nature of the process of oral speech, need to think and speak at the same time. Intonation opportunities of oral speech give the researcher an opportunity of studying additional semantic nuances analyzing, for example, logical accents, pauses (or their absence), repetitions. The air, where the reaction of the speaker on the interviewer's questions has to be direct and momentary by the communication laws on the radio, strengthens the features of oral speech which in this case becomes a special key to the cognitive speech style of the speaker. The main research results are the following. Cognitive operations of assessment, forecasting, making regularities, creation of tool algorithm are highly active when creating the analytical-publicistic text. The invariant nature of cognitive operations (assessment, forecasting, making regularities, tool algorithm) correlates with the individual speech style of the publicist explicated in invariant semantic models of statements and the linguistic picture of the world they reflect in its axiological component. The variety and variability of manifestation of the individual style of the publicist show the invariant processes of information processing and transfer cognitive mechanisms of assessment, forecasting, making regularities, creation of tool algorithm. The more stable and invariant the cognitive mechanisms of analytical text modeling are, the higher is the probability of forecasting the individual features of the publicist's speech style.
