ABSTRACT
The article deals the semantic signs of discourse. It states that since the beginning of the 20th century, the concept called discourse has attracted wide attention and is beginning to be studied. Discourse is widely studied in linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, and various fields. The study of discourse attracts the attention of linguists when they want to study and study a language unit different from the text.
The term discourse is widely used, and its widespread use in linguistics literature has been referred to by linguists as ‘discourse revolution’.
The semantic signs of the discourse are widely studied in both foreign and local linguistics. Linguists conducting research in this field include D. Cristal, T.A. van Dijk, , D. Shifrin, Y. Stepanov, V. Makarov, V. Karasik, V. Borbotko, K. M. Abdullayev, F. Y. Veysalli, A. Y. Mammadov, A. A. Abdullayev and others can be mentioned.
For a long time there was a debate about whether the terms text and discourse are the same. Although some consider them to be the same, others claim that they are completely different. Note that our position is that the terms discourse and text have different meanings. If we compare them, we can determine the differences between them as follows: there are linguistic and extralinguistic differences between them; while the text has its own borders and its own frame, the discourse also has its own scope and places of use.
The semantic signs of the discourse have been fully analyzed in the article. Eventuality is a content element of the discourse dedicated to a certain event. It is more open in the Internet discourse, because the author is more involved in the event in various forms.
The article highlights the importance of semantic signs of the discourse. Continuity together with non-discreteness and dynamism are relevant properties of discourse.
Keywords: discourse, semantic, sign, continuity, relevance, mental, communication
