Symptom and/or complaint: semiotic aspect
This article considers the explication of the notions «complaint speech genre» and «symptom» in medical discourse. Communicative system of medical discourse is defined as a combined-type system due to the interaction of nozological and clinical paradigms. In the aspect of a semiotic approach a symptom is treated as a sign means that shows characteristics of three major types of a sign in their relative hierarchy. The article states that human organism represents a system, which includes a sign system, having denotative directionality where pain is one of pathology significants. The reference of pain in patient's speech is complaint.
