| description | This article focuses on revealing structural and syntactic properties of author`s digression in English literary prose of the XIX-XX centuries. Convergent and divergent types of inserting author`s digression into literary space of the text have been distinguished based on syntactic and stylistic analysis.
In philological works on composition theory of a literary text the author’s speech and the image of the author were shown in different aspects. The author’s digressions, their functions and communication strategies of their inserting to the semantic space of a literary text were not sufficiently explained from the point of view of a linguo-pragmatic and communicative-functional approaches.
The object of the work is the author`s digression in English literary prose of the XIX-XX centuries
The subject of the study is the stylistic and compositional speech forms of the author’s digression. The material of the research is the fiction texts of the XIX-XX centuries.
The purpose of the work is to systematize and classify the author’s digression in English literary prose from the standpoint of an integrated approach that is oriented to identify their linguo-pragmatic properties.
The study allowed us to establish the syntactic and stylistic types of the author’s digression: convergent digression, divergent and convergent-divergent digression. The convergent author’s digression is characterized by expressivity such, kind of digression distracts the attention of the addressee from the main plot of the text and stimulates the reflection. The convergent author’s digression is presented in the literary texts under analysis mainly in the form of philosophical reflection. The divergent author’s digression explicates the image of the author as a creative linguistic personality realizing his/her creative potential by expanding the boundaries of the depicting of the object, that demands from the reader to think over different aspects in different directions. The divergent author’s digression presented in the literary texts under analysis mainly in the form of a description or an aphoristic maxim, creates compositional semantic coherence of the text and focuses the attention of the addressee on the necessary information. The method of the mixed mode of organizing the expressions (utterances) of the author’s digression in the literary space of the text speaks of the addresser as an informed, confident, creative linguistic personality who not only offers the addressee the theme for reflection, but also affects the formation of his own point of view. |
