Abstract

The article discusses the semantic type of Russian sentences as it is presented in the comments to a livestream – a video broadcast of communication of a host-streamer with their viewers on some topic, in the chosen case – a musical one, involving a performance of cover versions of popular songs in different styles by the streamer. Based on the concepts of constructive, semantic and actual syntax, as well as taking into account the discursive conditions for the functioning of the analyzed evaluative statements, a range of simple sentence models used to construct them, ways to designate all elements of the evaluation situation – the subject of evaluation, its object, the evaluation itself, mechanisms of model distribution and expression of evaluation within the model or its dissemination. The main attention is paid to expressing the meaning of evaluation, the variety of means of which creates paradigmatic series of sentences with homogeneous evaluative vocabulary. It was revealed that the composition of the evaluative predicate vocabulary includes both literary and slang, while its grammatical possibilities – inflectional and derivational – are realized to the maximum. It is shown that for the considered discursive conditions, when implementing evaluative statements, the meaning of a high level of evaluation intensity is actualized, which is ensured by a series of techniques, including the inclusion of a special type of adjective and substantive forms (elatives, augmentatives), constructions with particles, pronouns, and going beyond a simple sentence into the realm of parataxis. The results of the study clarify ideas about the grammar of evaluativeness in its media implementation, and also convince us that the appeal to the discursive conditions for the implementation of different semantic types of sentences opens up new aspects of their functioning, in particular, the specifics of the constructive and semantic aspects.
