Communicative Aspect of the Literary Text

Abstract

The subject of the study is a communicative aspect of poetic and prose texts. It is based on dialogization between the addressant and the addressee and a change in semantic positions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features concerning the explication of dialogical relations in the outward monologic speech of literary discourse. The research, carried out on the basis of the communicative and cognitive approach, is based on the concepts, methods and results of the communicative stylistics of the text, first of all by N.S. Bolotnova and Tomsk linguistic schools. Moreover, we have taken into consideration the scientific substantiations by R.O. Yakobson and Yu.M. Lotman that a literary text (especially a poetic one) is associated with the concept of a secondary linguistic structure and its main prin- ciples are comparison and opposition. The resulting inferences allow us to determine the features of the commu- nicative approach to the analysis of a literary text: 1) external dialogization con- sists in the interaction of the author and the reader, which is expressed in the interpretative activity of the latter in decoding a poetic work; 2) the internal di- alogization of the narrative monologue manifests itself as a contact between the subjects of the work and is represented by lexico-grammatical and tropical means with the expression of subjective modality. The results of the study can be used in scientific-research and teaching activities related to the study of the artistic discourse communicativeness.
