Tacesic constituent as a part of the multicomponent nonverbal module: the principles of combination}, volume={9}, url={https://tractatus.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/journal/article/view/210}, abstractNote={<p>The article deals with the study of the character’s touch behavior in the contemporary English<br>language fictional discourse from the modular perspective. The tacesic module is defined as a<br>structural part of the English fictional discourse which contains one or more nominative units<br>designating touch. The analysis of the principles governing the combination of the tacesic module<br>with other nonverbal modules results in the conclusion that at least three factors influence the modes<br>they are combined within the frame of the multicomponent nonverbal module. They are the factors of<br>directivity, harmony and equilibrium. In the English fictional discourse the character’s nonverbal<br>signals can be directed at either one or more than one communicative partners. In the first case the<br>directivity factor results in the appearance of the single-vectored multicomponent nonverbal module<br>while the second case gives rise to the differently vectored one. The harmony factor can also be<br>realized in at least two ways, i.e. the consonance and dissonance of the nominative units designating<br>different nonverbal components, including touch. The equilibrium factor predetermines the inverse<br>relationships between the nonverbal constituents of the multicomponent nonverbal module.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Philological Treatises}, author={Zhukovska A.}, year={2020}, month={Mar.}, pages={33–38} }
