ACTUALIZATION OF ACTEMES IN DISCURSIVE - SEMIOTIC SPACE OF THEATRAL COMMUNICATION

The article is devoted to the process of actualization of theatrical signs – actemes in a discursive–semiotic space of theatrical communication. It examines two types of theatrical communication – simple and complicated by the large number of participants in the theatrical process.
