SYSTEMIC-LINGUISTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF TEMPORALITY AND ASPECTUALITY IN PUBLICISTIC TEXTS

This article investigates the systemic-linguistic characteristics of temporality and aspectuality in publicistic texts from the perspective of functional and text linguistics. Temporality and aspectuality are treated not merely as grammatical categories but as text-forming mechanisms that organize the representation of events, processes, and states within media discourse. The study demonstrates that in publicistic texts these categories function on multiple levels — grammatical, lexical, syntactic, and discourse-structural — contributing to textual cohesion, information structuring, and pragmatic impact. Through qualitative discourse analysis, the research identifies the dominant temporal and aspectual patterns that characterize news reporting, analytical articles, and opinion journalism. The findings show that temporality ensures chronological structuring and referential anchoring, while aspectuality shapes the dynamic or static presentation of events, influencing readers’ perception of actuality, urgency, and continuity. The article argues that temporality and aspectuality operate as systemic features of publicistic discourse, forming part of its linguistic architecture.
