Lingua-semiotic creativity in the discursive space of science fiction: prolegomena to definition

The article defines the concept of the ontological status of creativity, based on the creativity phenomena in general and linguistic creativity in particular. We investigate the role of lingua-semiotic creativity in science fiction discourse formation; allocate linguistic creative units as the basic units of science fiction discourse. Lingua-semiotic creativity is defined as a basic constitutive feature of science fiction discourse. Lingua-semiotic creativity is represented as the ability to handle images and put these images always as new signs, i.e. “to invent a new reality”, then immersing them in the hyperreal (fantastic) discourse, the new communicative environment. It is an innovative use of existing and the invention of new linguistic forms of communication in innovation (unreal) or imaginary environment, it's an ability of the creative person (writer and narrator) to create linguistic signs of fantastic reality (hyperreality of the future), giving them functionally loaded definition and shape to their actualization special communicative environment (art works of science-fiction theme). This cognitive category is reflected as person's ability to mentally master the material reality, to discover in it the objects and phenomena that need to be improved, or to predict the creation of new objects / phenomena that meet the growing needs of man, then to semiotize imagination objects / phenomena, realizing their images in verbal and non-verbal signs.
