Expressive function of intertext in the philosophical prose (based on the novel "Sled ptici v nebe" by B. Momyshuly)

Abstract

The article examines the expressive activity of intertext in philosophical prose. The relevance of the work is due to the lack of a special scientific study devoted to the expressive activity of intertext. The object of the study was Bakytzhan Momyshuly’s philosophical novel “The Trail of a bird in the sky”. Intertextual elements link the text with other texts of the functional style. In this regard, intertextual elements are found in a literary text in various typologies and perform a different function. Expressiveness means strengthening the content of this text, systematization of certain information, drawing attention to it. The implementation of the expressive function of the intertext is possible only when the intertext is connected to the communication process, i.e. to the communication process. Expressiveness, according to many researchers, consists in a complex understanding, the main components of which express each other and interact in language. These include emotionality, intensity, imagery, evaluation. Artistic text is especially characterized by expressiveness as a means of creating artistic images. An artistic image is the basis of a literary text. In philosophical novels, it is reflected in the form of emotions, feelings, states of consciousness, connecting reality and fiction through the imagination of the writer. Possessing artistic and aesthetic qualities, the language of fiction refers to a certain system of means of verbal and artistic expression. Artistic speech has its own linguistic features. Expressiveness contributes to the creation of new means of conveying the thoughts and feelings of the speaker. A philosophical text affects the reader emotionally and aesthetically by communicating certain information.The difference between the concepts of expressiveness and emotionality made it possible to clarify a number of provisions concerning expressive semantics. The work of E. M. Galkina-Fedoruk, L. E. Mikhailova is devoted to the correlation of the concepts of expressiveness, emotionality. In their opinion, the category of emotionality is divided into several types: expressiveness-emotionality-evaluative (emotional); words defining moral assessment (decent, honest) refer to units of emotional assessment as expressive. The author’s position: even without expressiveness, these units cannot be emotionally evaluative. Although many linguists have studied the theoretical foundations of linguistic expression in fiction and its practical application, it is the expressive function of intertext in works of fiction that has not yet been sufficiently studied.
