Abstract

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the cognitive mechanisms of making the author’s world view in the context of discourse interaction. The article deals with the with the elements of scientific discourse functioning in English literary texts. The research aims at revealing correspondences between scientific notions and literary concepts constituting the author's world view. As the article shows, being the elements of discourse, the mental structures determine the procedures of generation and interpretation of the literary fiction text. Viewed from the cognitive aspect, such procedures consist in constituting a new cognitive image of the world on the basis of various discourse markers (scientific terms, syntactic patterns, etc.). Considering the semantic potential of scientific discourse markers, the author reveals the influence of the scientific worldview on the author’s world view. The analysis of text fragments enables the author to conclude that the study of discourse interaction can prove useful in text analysis as it may help in revealing the specificity of an author’s world view and a reader’s interpretation of the text. The realized perspective of the research allows us to reveal an important line of interaction between the scientific and literary world views.
