LINGUISTIC PECULIARITIES OF THE USE OF HYPNOSTYLISTIC PATTERNS OF THE LEXICAL LEVEL IN ENGLISH HYPNOTIC DISCOURSE

Abstract

33 suggestion and output. Hypnostylistic patterns used by hypnotherapists to form a state of hypnotic trance in the client were also considered. It was suggested to refer to the branch of linguistics, which studies the linguistic features of hypnotic speech, using the term hypnostylistics, and to the process of investigation the patterns of hypnotic speech, which was described -using the term hypnostylistic analysis. Hypnostylistic patterns of the lexical level were singled out. The article singled out hypnostylistic patterns of the lexical level, among which different types of non-specific speech were singled out (7 425 cases of its use were singled out) -nominalizations (41% of cases), non-specific adjectives (22% of cases), nonspecific verbs (18% of cases), non-specific (9% of cases), as well as non-specific pronouns and non-specific determinants, which together make up 10% of cases. They are the main tool of the hypnotherapist and are found in almost every sentence during hypnotic communication. The reason is that vague speech avoids incongruence during a hypnotic act. Other hypnotic patterns of the lexical level include the lost performative (1 834 cases), universal quantitative and modal operators (1 912 cases) and predicates of awareness (2 187 cases). They are used with great frequency and are important tools for the formation of hypnotic communication. In further explorations it is planned to cover other classes of hypnostylistic patterns, in particular, hypnostylistic patterns of syntactic level.
