metadata.value: This paper examines primary features of the scenic present (SP), which is one of several types of use of
  the present tense form. It reveals distinctive features that separate SP from other functions of the given
  tense form, such as the historical present, the present in the context of the future, habitual, gnomic,
  constant, abstract, prophetic present etc. The research material is derived from parenthetical remarks
  found in the plays by Russian writers. It cites several studies by Ju. S. Maslov, in which the use of SP in
  Russian and Bulgarian is analysed. There are three essential factors that help to create special scenic
  or stage environment: 1) a definite subject and/or object; 2) a concrete place; 3) a definite moment of
  an action (definite event). In stage remarks the imperfective present tense forms a center in the given
  functional microfield. It does not substitute the perfective aspect, although it expresses both imperfective
  and perfective content. This research makes it possible to conclude that stage remarks have special
  scenic environment. The moment of the playwright’s (author’s) speech coincides with the moment of
  the event and the stage (scenic) time. Refs 21.
