Factors of Successful Communicative Interaction Between the Writer and the Reader in Written Discourse

Abstract

The paper deals with the issues of fictional communication: it touches upon conditions of effective interaction between the reader and the author of the work of fiction. Like in oral discourse, while reading narrative, different factors such as age, education, worldview etc. influence the process of understanding. The more factors coincide, the better the reader can understand the idea of the author. Written narrative has different communicative markers that are characteristic of oral discourse. Such markers help to attract the attention of the reader to the text. Besides, modal verbs, oblique mood and rhetorical questions also contribute to establishing contact between the author and the reader.
