Логосемная и коммуникемная структура художественного текста малого жанра (на материале короткого рассказа В. Борхерта “Nachts schlafen die Ratten doch” («Ведь ночью крысы спят»))

Abstract

The study aims to identify the internal semantic structure of small genre literary texts, as well as ways of meaning generation. The paper carries out a morphothemic analysis of the small genre literary text “Nachts schlafen die Ratten doch” (“Rats Do Sleep at Night”) by W. Borchert, which addresses the topic of war. Scientific novelty lies in constructing vertical syntagmemes as connecting links of texteme blocks in order to identify deep communicative meanings in the literary text. As a result, on the basis of the cogitology concept, implicit hidden meanings given by the author, as well as logical and semantic blocks of the linguemes involved in the text have been identified.
