Abstract

The object of this research is the female victims’ first-person discourse. To describe the self-referential discourse of this type of a speaker, along with the notions of “self-reference” and “ino-reference” the author resorts to such notions as “one’s own circle” and “outer circle”. This expands the meaning of the notion of “self-reference”. The purpose of this article is to reconstruct the fragments of the dynamic model of interacting self-referential and non-referential discourse components on the material of French-speaking female victims’ evidence. The speakers were subjected to domestic violence in their past. The author reveals lexical, grammatical and syntactic components, which are used in the victims’ discourse within the framework of “one’s own self-referential circle” and “outer ino-referential circle”, a complex set of their interaction is schematically demonstrated.
