PROSPECTS OF RESEARCH ON MINORITY DISCURSIVE PRACTICE IN REGIONAL LINGUISTICS AND LINGUOCULTUROLOGY // Tomsk Journal of Linguistics and Anthropology. 2013. Issue 1 (1). P. 75-78

This article continues a series of research on a lingvocultural originality of Tomsk regional infosphere. The infosphere is understood as the actual communicative space of the region accumulating a variety of information streams bearing the sociocultural importance. The operational units of the infosphere are discursive practices. Discursive practice is the certain social practice realized in speech behavior of the audience. Minority discursive practice is a reflection of communicative activity of the small communities united by one or several extralinguistic factors. For example, the discourse of literary creativity of young residents of Tomsk is defined by a factor of creative socialization; discourse of political opposition – a protest factor; discourse of the small and corporate press of oil-drilling territories – an economical factor; discourse of elite factor – a factor of a social originality. The texts of minority discourses are especially challenging for the analysis of the daily speech of the regional society. Research on the daily speech and not main discursive phenomena allows making analysis of a linguistic picture of the world in its unity and a variety more polyphonic and deep. Relevance of the research on regional discursive practice is also defined by the identification of the regional participation modes for the various sociocultural formations. This causes the distinctness of the region, in comparison with other territories. The study of texts of certain discursive environments as forms of self-presentation of the regional society variants, cognitive and communicative mechanisms for formation of the regional, and more widely sociocultural, self-identification represents an actual problem of a modern linguoculturology and regional linguistics.
