SÉMANTIKA A PRAGMATIKA KONŠTRUKCIÍ EGOPREZENTÁCIE

The study deals with the linguistic self-presentation of the speaker carried out through constructions with an explicit I and a substantive modificator which constitute linguistic presentation of one or more social statuses. Variability of constructions mirrors diversity of attitude constellations. It reflects cognitive and discursive differentiation of the aspect of I as an initiator of self-presentation and an aspect of I as a corrector of self-presentation. This condition has its roots in the duality of self-reflection in which I is enrooted as a subject of activity (dynamic I) and I as an object of self-reflection. Diversity of function and form of the self-presentation constructions in Slovak is determined by the combination of approaches and procedures which use the approaches of self-determination and concretization as well as affirmation and negation.
