The Dialectic of Positive and Negative Emotional Scenarios

The concept of scenario is widely used in cognitive science (psychology, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, neuropsychology, communication theory). From a psychological point of view, a scenario is an unconscious life plan, the appearance of which is determined by the attitudes received by the individual from his parents. In linguistics, a communicative scenario refers to a stable speech model that has a structured form and is used in a specific communicative situation. Thearticle discusses some interpretations of the category of communicative and life scenarios in psychology and linguistics. Thetheoretical basis for conducting empirical research is the classification of A.A.Kotov’s D-scenarios, which includes the D-scenarios of the first group: DANGEROUS (danger), LIMITED (restriction), ASSIGNMENT (assignment), DECEPTION (deception), PLANIR (planning), MANIP (manipulation); the second group: inadequacy (inadequacy), INCONSISTENCY (inconsistency), EMOTION (emotionality), SUBJECT (subjectivity), INACTION (inaction); the third group: the D-scenario is FUTILE (futility). As part of the study, a content analysis of several video blogs is performed to identify the features of the use of positive and negative emotional scenarios.
