Abstract

The notion of frontier has been a research theme for the last decades in both sciences and humanities, being defined as a dynamic borderline, signaling interaction of discourses. This work is aimed to produce a coherent definition of frontier as a latent discourse potential, revealing itself by means of linguistic and extralinguistic frontems, in both explicit or implicit forms, with different degree of motivation. It is suggested the frontier discourse potential be taken into account in discourse analysis of any discourse types and genres as an influential functional category signaled by the pragmatic contexts and influencing the discourse semantics. The research is based on the empirical data, obtained from the discourse analysis of consumer discourse, extreme sports and activities discourse and the Internet discourse. The results prove the significance of contextual interpretation of frontems and their impact on the discourse semantics. It follows, frontier concept is pertinent to all kinds of discourses as a lingua-cultural sense forming domain, affecting either the form or the meaning of the discourse
