Vagueness and its expression in Modern English have not been investigated in details. This problem dates from the treatises of Ancient Greece philosophers, who laid the foundations of vagueness. The notion of vagueness or imprecision, its substance as well as thefinal list of linguistic means ofits description have not been identified so far and vary considerably with the researchers. Modern linguistics associates vagueness with the reference theory which is based on B. Russell’s denotation ideas.
The author of this paper is making an attempt to describe some linguistic means of vagueness expression – referential imprecision in particular – analyzing texts of some English advertisements. As a result of the research, it was found out that copywriters deliberately use referential imprecision while writing advertisement texts just to hook the reader and to involve them in speculations about the potential referent or antecedent of the offered advertisement texts. Since the target audience of such texts is diverse, vagueness helps copywriters to achieve the target – toincrease the variety of possible interpretations of the advert texts and the amount of potential buyers.

In the conditions of transition of the world community to a sustainable development, the increase of problems of economic, ecological and social character in Russia demands finding essentially new approaches to formation of national system of public management of the processes of ensuring quality of life as the most significant factor in ensuring national security. The substantial analysis of the existing methodological and theoretical approaches to public management in the corporatism, neocorporatism, institutionalism, neoinstitutionalism, and public choicesciences schools and that of cognitive and network approaches showed that the attention of scientists is generally concentrated on private aspects of public management. The variety of the existing approaches and the tasks solved by them and as specifics of the chosen object of research (the system of public management as processes of ensuring quality of life in socio-economic systems) demands elaboration of a methodological approach to formation of an essentially new national system of public management on an interdisciplinary basis.
The research bases on the system, subject and object, institutional, evolutionary and other methodological approaches, which is explained by the need of considering public management of processes of ensuring quality of life in the social and economic systems as a complex yet single phenomenon.
The result of the research is the substantiationfor the methodological approach on the interdisciplinary basis, integrating in itself economic, sociological, anthropological, ecological, biosphere-centred and political and legal approaches at various levels of hierarchy of the system of public management, which is determined by the structural complexity of the category of quality of life.
The received results can be used by authorities and management bodies of all levels in the course of modernization of the existing system of public management for processes of ensuring quality of life, for the formation of its principles, strategic objectives and tasks.
