Коммуникативно-прагматический потенциал прецедентности в комическом тексте

Abstract

The aim of the research is to substantiate the communicative-pragmatic status of precedence in a humorous text realised in the interaction of various types of precedent phenomena and the “overlap” of their perception by a character and the reader using the material of F. Iskander’s story “Chick and Pushkin”. The scientific novelty of the research lies in substantiating the change in the attribution of precedent phenomena to universally precedent or socially precedent under the influence of socio-cultural factors, as well as in shedding light on the mechanism of production and functioning of the humorous in terms of literary text precedence. As a result, it has been determined that precedent phenomena are capable of producing a humorous effect in a literary text, which in most cases turns out to be associated not with the plot situations themselves, but with the “overlap” of perception and the variability of ideas about the perception of precedent phenomena by a character and the reader fixed in the cognitive base. In addition, it has been found that the tendency to synthesise precedent phenomena manifested in their interaction in a humorous fiction text determines the deepening of the communicative-pragmatic potential of such a text, relying on the reader’s cognitive base and the contamination of various cultural codes that are correlated in this base with historical epochs and source domains of precedent phenomena.
