Abstract

The object of this study is linguosemiotic features of TikTok screen texts. The subject of this study is the semiotic principle of still mobility. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the linguosemiotic features of TikTok screen texts functioning according to the principle of still mobility in the semiosphere. The linguosemiotic methods used in the work are functional-pragmatic and contextual analysis. As a result, it is concluded that the principle of still mobility is activated in TikTok screen texts through the operations of “linking” and “fixation” of meaning. The main outcome of the study is that in TikTok screen texts it is impossible to draw a clear line between “bound” and “free”, as these two phenomena are interdependent and interconnected.
