THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SPEECH SEGMENT DISSOCIATION IN DISCOURSE
This article deals with the issues based on analyzing the theoretical foundations of the dissociation of speech segments in discourse. The study focuses on how discourse is divided into meaningful, pragmatic, syntactic, prosodic, and cognitive units, and how these units may become separated, restructured, or function independently in communication. The article discusses classical and modern approaches to discourse segmentation, including discourse markers, coherence relations, prosodic boundaries, elementary discourse units, and pragmatic interpretation
