The article introduces the analysis of additional sense nuances in a belles-lettres discourse in view of pragmatic and cognitive approach. Additional sense nuances are treated as a separate kind of implicit information, their cognitive nature being determined by the author’s intention. Its inferring presupposes the anticipation of accumulated sense of other types of implicit sense in the discourse: non-allusive hints, allusions, and symbols. The text of C. Ahern’s novel serves the material for this study. It is shown that the creation and inferring of implicit senses is correlated with cognitive mechanisms and operations. The inferring of additional speech nuances embraces two stages and rests on cognitive mechanisms, mainly profiling with focusing/defocusing, prominence, specificity and perspective.
