To the Issue of the Heterogeneity of the Autobiographical Text
 (Based on Modern German)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the official autobiographicaltext in the aspect of its heterogeneityand polycoding. Despite the fact that the autobiographical
 text belongs to official texts that have a solid structure and an established set of stylistic features, this texttype has recently found certain modifications that are an incentive for its further research. The modifications result from the egocentric nature of the text, allowing a certain «freedom» of the author in
 choosing diverse means of influence, which makes the text heterogeneous. The heterogeneity is widely interpreted as a heterogeneous composition
 of the text and it has multiple manifestations. The text functional belonging to official autobiography is heterogeneous. Being assertive in a form, the text of
 the autobiography has a motivation for the action as the main pragmatic goal. The implementation of the incentive to the action is carried out by the appellative function, which has an indirect nature of implementation in the text of the autobiography. The effective implementation of the appellative function
 is carried out by the interaction of heterogeneous components within a single text as a whole.Such components include an official and unofficial register of communication, totality of dialogic and monologic speech forms, stylistic expressive
 means inherent inbelles-lettres, mono-subjectivity and poly-subjectivity of presentation, polycodingas inclusion of non-linguistic signs in the text.
