LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE WHOLE TEXT IN THE GENRE OF NOTES

Abstract

The article is devoted to the interpretive analysis of the whole text in the genre of notes of the St Petersburg writer M. N. Kuraev “Lenfilm” was!.. (2019). The work fits into a literary series dedicated to the bygone era, evoking opposite assessments, which find expression in irony in relation to the governing beginning of the organization of life and respect for the creative activities of people, in this case in the field of cinema. The author of the article attempted, on the basis of a consideration of the information structure of the text, to identify the principles of its organization: division into parts, the order of their following, the intentional settings that determine the selection and organization of language means. The reference to the composition of the text, which is fundamental for the analysis, made it possible to note the features of an organization that is different from the currently actively studied narrative: the connection of the compositional parts in it is determined not by temporary, as in the narrative, but by logical relations; to some initial thesis — a milestone in the presentation of content. Such an organization, which goes back to the functional-semantic type of speech — reasoning, does not exclude the inclusion of a “horizontal” line of development of the semantic content of the text, a kind of leitmotif in the information structure of the text. The variety of compositional components manifested itself in their intonational differences associated with the emotional state of the author at the moment of description, which is typical for ego narration, marked by a variety of intonation patterns of the text as a whole. Semantic analysis revealed a somewhat overestimated orientation of the author towards a common cognitive fund with the reader, which is noticeably shrinking over time. At the same time, an assumption is made about the interest that the text can arouse among readers of different ages. Refs 14.
