Abstract

The article deals with the cognitive category of “semio-linguistic creativity”, serving as a tool for mainstreaming the concept “Information about the future” in the science fiction discourse. Studied are semio-linguistic aspects of the future relations of categories and information; explored are the conceptual core as well as the internal and external zones of the concept “Information about the future”; analyzed is the relationship between the needs and science fiction discourse; considered is the structuration of axiological and imaginative spheres of the concept “Information about the future.” The article also analyzes the process of science-fiction discourse unfolding involving semio-linguistic clusters – signs whose semantic content is directly related to the needs of the future (“The Man as a species,” “Food,” “Space, Earth”). The perspective of the research make semio-linguistic clusters “Habitat,” “Communications”, “Social Environment”, “Transport”, “Technology”.
