Abstract

The present article investigates the pragmatic peculiarities of non-finite forms of the verb in textual communication. Special attention is given to their role in expressing implicit meanings, structuring discourse, and ensuring cohesion. The study is based on examples drawn from English and Russian literary texts and employs a functional-pragmatic and discourse-analytic approach. The findings demonstrate that non-finite forms of the verb function as pragmatic markers that enable information compression, convey evaluative meanings, and guide interpretation. The study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the interaction between grammar and pragmatics.
