Compositional-speech forms as units of articulation of literary text

Abstract

The article is devoted to the current problem – compositional-speech analysis of narrative literary text. A literary text is distinguished by its inherent variety of formal content elements that characterize the ways of expressive linguistic expression. For the expression of genre and stylistic activity, means are used, they define tonalities, architectonic forms, semantic and aesthetic information of literary texts that exist in the form of structures. These constructions, consisting of several sentences, coinciding in the work with units of content, are called composition-speech. Compositional-speech forms are elements of text formation and consist of a function that the author puts at the head of each fragment. Within the narrative literary text compositional-speech forms are manifested as certain types of text that are recognized by the semantics and syntax of their language design, allowing the author to solve various pragmatic tasks, which include the implementation of an aesthetic function of the literary text. Compositional speech forms implement the features of coherent texts, acting as complex syntactic complexes. In the most general form, compositional speech forms are complex unities that shape opinion, order its development and give it integrity and coherence. They share verbal material, making it easier to see and more acceptable. In the process of cognizing reality, the subject either directly observes events, focusing on its spatial and temporal relationships, or perceives them indirectly, establishing a connection between them; or it can do it at the same time. The analysis of compositional speech forms will be presented on the example of the English science fiction novel by Audrey Niffenegger «The Time Traveler`s Wife» manifests itself in the communicative orientation of such a literary work and in its compositional speech tissue.
