Комунікативно-прагматичний потенціал простого речення як варіанта синтаксичної одиниці «речення» в українській прозі для дітей

Abstract

Introduction. The article describes the results of the study of the simple sentence as a variant of the syntactic unit "sentence" in terms of revealing the signs of communicative and pragmatic potential in Ukrainian prose for children. Purpose. The research aims at characteristics of the communicative and pragmatic potential of the simple sentence (two-member, one-member). It focuses on the generalizations about its stylistic functions in children prose (based on the material of V. Nestaiko's prose). Methods. The dominant method was scientific analysis, based on theoretical provisions about the relationship between language and thinking; the well-known axiom about the combination of formal and semantic factors in the qualification of syntax postulates was applied. Elements of distributional and transformational analysis were also used. Results. A corpus of two-member and one-member simple sentences (without secondary parts and with them) was created within the text by V. Nestaiko for children. The tasks set in the study have been solved. Originality. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the widest possible use of traditional and new methods of analyzing children prose that is quite original in content and grammar. Conclusion. The results obtained in the study demonstrate an in-depth analysis of the syntactic unit "sentence" in the children prose, and the approach itself can be considered a guideline for studying other syntactic units of the Ukrainian language, as well as in the comparative aspect.
