Abstract. The article analyzes the category of relations, establishes its place among other categories. Comprehension of the essence of the stated category opens up wide perspectives for studying complex synergetic processes of discourse system transformation. This determines the relevance of this issue. The objective of the research is to identify the features and aspects of the category of relations, which further lay the basis for the formation of the functional relations and functional space of discourse. Particular attention is paid to functional discourse relations. To characterize them, the author delves into the study of sense relations, which are considered from three main angles: syntagmatic, paradigmatic and derivational. Discourse senses create different types of discursive relations, which, in turn, affect the formation of the functional plane of discourse. It is emphasized that the process of functional discursive relations formation is conditioned by the communicative situation, the cognitive system of the communicants, their social and cultural background. It is concluded that formation of adequate discursive senses corresponding the communicative situation and its goals determines the construction of certain discourse functional relations, which as well affect the transformation of the senses and dynamics of discourse functional system. Discourse sense system formation is a complex multifaceted process implying interdependence and interaction of the senses and relations of discourse. Relations are a discourse-organizing factor, since they contribute to structuring the integral sense plane of discourse.
Key words: category of relations, discourse, sense system, sense, functional relations.
