metadata.value: The article discusses the pragmatic potential of the Irish emigrant ballads from the perspective
  of cultural linguistics. From the viewpoint of pragmatics, a ballad as an act of indirect
  communication can not only describe national traits, but also can serve as a mechanism to
  form national self-consciousness. The analysis of subject organization and spatial, temporal
  and axiological specificity of Irish emigrant ballads reveals the principles postulating the idea
  of national unity existing in Irish culture. Its appeal to the audience, high figurativeness and
  intensive usage of cultural notions allow us to consider the issue of national identity beyond
  the content of the text and also from the communicative perspective. The ballad performance
  correlates with a performative speech act where the performer verbalizes a number of the
  process parameters of actions accomplished by the character. This aspect is associated with
  the behavioural models reflecting the processes of assimilation followed by adoption of a new
  cultural paradigm. Therefore, the ballads of assimilative, integrative and unification orientation
  are distinguished. The assimilative function reflects an ability of an emigrant to become
  part of a new environment; the integrative function is associated with an ability to preserve the
  national identity in a new culture; the unification function shows correlation of the individual
  value categories with the native cultural values, but unlike the integrative ballads and unifying
  ballads it cannot potentially form a diaspora.
