Однако влияние этих типов намека на восприятие со стороны носителей и неносителей языка остается недостаточно изученным. Поэтому в настоящем исследовании на материале китайского дипломатического дискурса рассматриваются характеристики логического, текстового и контекстуального намеков и проверяется их персуазивный потенциал, а также специфика их определения носителями и неносителями языка. Для выявления персуазивного потенциала намека и способов его установления был проведен эксперимент. На основе показателей правильных ответов испытуемых (90 участников – по 30 носителей китайского, русского и английского языков) был проведен сравнительный анализ с использованием модели обобщенных линейных смешанных эффектов (GLMM). Результаты показали, что персуазивность разных типов намека не постоянна. В целом логический намек демонстрирует более высокую персуазивность благодаря большей логической связности и меньшей зависимости от контекстуальных и культурных факторов. Сопоставление полученных данных демонстрирует, что для носителей китайского языка наиболее персуазивным оказывается контекстуальный намек, поскольку у носителей языка более высокая степень имплицитности связана с усилением персуазивности; для носителей русского языка – логический намек, что может объясняться их чувствительностью к логической структуре языка; для носителей английского языка – текстовый намек, что согласуется со свойственной английскому языку как языку низкоконтекстной культуры опорой на эксплицитные семантические маркеры в самом тексте.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="summary"><p>The assertion that different types of hints exert varying degrees of persuasive effect has been empirically confirmed. However, how these different types of hints influence native and non-native audiences remains largely unknown. Therefore, this study, considering the characteristics of logical, textual and contextual hints in the Chinese diplomatic discourse, tests their persuasive potential and specificity when identified by native and non-native audiences. To achieve this goal an experiment was held: we recruited 90 participants, including 30 native speakers each of Chinese, Russian, and English, and conducted a comparative analysis using a Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) based on participants' accuracy rates. The results indicate that the persuasiveness of different types of hint is not fixed. Overall, logical hint tends to demonstrate stronger persuasiveness due to their higher logical consistency and lower dependence on contextual and cultural factors. A comparison of Chinese, Russian, and English participants shows that contextual hint is the most persuasive for Chinese participants because, for native speakers, greater implicitness is associated with stronger persuasiveness. Logical hint is the most persuasive for Russian participants, which may stem from their sensitivity to the logical structure of language. Textual hint is the most persuasive for English participants, which is consistent with the tendency of English, as a low-context language, to rely on explicit semantic markers within the text itself.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>намек</kwd><kwd>персуазивность</kwd><kwd>китайский дипломатический дискурс</kwd><kwd>текстовый намек</kwd><kwd>логический намек</kwd><kwd>контекстуальный намек</kwd><kwd>модель GLMM</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>hint</kwd><kwd>persuasiveness</kwd><kwd>Chinese diplomatic discourse</kwd><kwd>textual hint</kwd><kwd>logical hint</kwd><kwd>contextual hint</kwd><kwd>GLMM</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xml:lang="en">Antoshina D.V., 2019.
