metadata.value: The article reviews statements with generic semantics or generalizing statements, identifies
  their structural and semantic features and their potential in mass media discourse. Disconnection
  from a specific referent and non-temporality should be deemed to be specific of
  structural and semantic constructions of phrases with generalizing meaning. These features
  determine how generalizing statements function and how they affect the recipient of information.
  Generalizing statements are studied in view of the category of authoritativeness — one
  of the major communicative categories. The article emphasizes that the authoritativeness of
  generalizing statements is backed up by background linguistic knowledge of linguistic society
  representatives. The native speaker gets used to perceiving phrases with generalizing meaning
  (proverbs, aphorisms, maxims) as a linguistic shell containing universal judgments applicable
  to a number of single-type situations and therefore true. The very linguistic form, which
  implicitly affects the message recipient’s consciousness and shapes the fideistic perception of
  information inherent in generalizing statements, becomes authoritative. It can be the basis for
  manipulation, because a construction patterned after a generalizing statement can sometimes
  have inaccurate and even deliberately false content inconsistent with reality. Therefore, by using
  generalizing statements the author can create a distorted world view.
