Abstract
The paper deals with the fiction communication between the author and the reader. Fiction text consists from factual information and from metadiscourse which guides the reader through the text. The paper shows that on the level of metadiscourse the author touches upon general issues which are not directly connected with the fictional reality of the story. The author’s address to the reader is formed with the help of abstract lexical sets. The most important lexical sets are “man” and “the surrounding world”. The paper shows that different lexical sets are used with different frequency in different historical periods. The most permanent lexical sets are “man and woman”, “family”, “mental activity”, “emotional state”, “attitude to other people”, “cooperation with other people”. These sets are formed with the help of the same vocabulary items in different historical periods. Such lexical sets as “society” and “the surrounding world” undergo considerable changes.
