ABSTRACT

Bekhta I. A. The Narrative Discourse in the English fictional prose: typology and dynamics of speech forms. - Manuscript

Dissertation for a doctoral degree in philology: speciality 10.02.04. - Germanic Languages. - Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. - Kyiv, 2010.

The research reflects on the recent paradigm shift within linguistics towards a pragmatic model of language use, a development that has provided a broader range of methods and areas of investigation. The paradigm shift has made it possible to bridge the divide between the literary and linguistic approaches to language. Thus this paper deals with the narrative discourse in the English fictional prose within the framework of discourse and cognitive narratology. The author traces the dynamics and typology of speech forms of the narrative discourse with a help of a frame-theoretical approach from the position of a new cognitive and discoursive paradigm.

Basically the paper reviews three explanatory research models that try to analyze the function of linguistically salient elements of narrative discourse in fiction: narrator's and character's discourse, linguistic realization of point of view (focalization process) and reader-response tactics in prose texts of post/modernism. It demonstrates how these research models have developed an increasingly more pragmatic approach to the analysis of language in textual communication.

The concept of discourse (which structurally consists of linguistic and extra linguistic components) is connected with the coordinates of its interpretation: formal (discourse - language above the level of sentence - form), functional (discourse - any language use - function), situational (discourse - utterance - interaction of the form and function). The notion of discourse is interdepended with text and context that are the integral elements of the structure and content of fictional communication. The subject matter of research - narrative discourse proper is typified considering the realm of functioning, characters of communication, modes and forms of fictional representation. Narrative discourse creates the schema of the communicative model of a fictional text via the discourses of the narrative instances: narrator and characters. The narrator's discourse is rendered through the modes of narration, description and argumentation while the character's discourse is reproduced by the forms of direct, indirect and free indirect speech.

The research also concentrates on the study of cognitive and communicative dynamics of speech forms within the pattern of their implication and explication which gave the opportunity to build the hierarchy of speech forms and define their function in the English post/modernist fiction. The author presents the network of typological forms of endophasy and exophasy speech/thought, which can be predominantly subordinated to the discoursive organization of the works of fiction. The paper has developed the model of the analysis of character's discourse which is grounded on speech interpretation in a fictional text - speech category approach and thought representation in a fictional text - thought category approach. Both approaches are important to create the narrative frame of understanding the complex communicative processes occuring in a fictional text under different perspective.

One of the key issues of the research is the typology of forms of speech and thought reproduction depending on their range of functioning. This can be justified by the continuous evolutionary processes that bring to life new typological forms of character's discourse in fiction. The functional features of the forms have been classified on the principle of subjective score of speech and thought reproduction of character's discourse. From the point of view of structural and semantic representation of forms of character's discourse in fiction they are typified into exophasy and endophasy. The exophasy forms of character's discourse are: direct speech, indirect speech, forms of free indirect speech: thematic speech, hidden speech, citation, speech in speech. The endophasy forms of character discourse are: direct thought, indirect thought, forms of free indirect thought: inner reflexion, inner monologue/dialogue, stream of consciousness, thought in thought.

Revealing the literary and aesthetic concepts of the English literary post/modernist trends, the author states the interdependence of cognitive and communicative dynamics in functioning of the discourses of the narrator and characters and proves that identification of modes and forms of narrative discourse in the English modernist and postmodernist literature is caused by compositional and thematic structure of the work of fiction.

Key words: discourse, narrative discourse, narrator discourse, character discourse, narrative frame, mode of narration, mode of speech reproduction, speech forms, cognitive dynamics, communicative dynamics.

Бехта И. А. Повествовательный дискурс в англоязычной художественной прозе: типология и динамика речевых форм. - Рукопись

Диссертация на соискание ученой степени доктора филологических наук по специальности 10.02.04. - германские языки. - Киев: Киевский национальный университет имени Тараса Шевченко, 2010.

Работа посвящена нарративному дискурсу в англоязычной художественной прозе модернизма и постмодернизма. Предлагается когнитивно-дискурсный подход к рассмотрению этого явления, изучения динамики и типологии его речевых форм. Исследование сосредоточено на изучении когнитивной и коммуникативной динамики речевых форм в ракурсе импликации и экспликации. Это позволило построить иерархию и определить функции речевых форм в англоязычных произведениях модернизма и постмодернизма. Доказано, что идентификация речевых форм обусловлена композиционно-тематической структурой художественных произведений.

В работе построена сеть типологических форм эндофазной и экзофазной речи, которая подчинена дискурсной организации художественного произведения. Представлены художественно-эстетические концепты англоязычного литературного модернизма и постмодернизма, фреймовые модели текстовых коммуникантов, исследована нарративная организация англоязычных произведений этих направлений. Установлена взаимозависимость функционирования дискурсных зон нарратора и персонажа в англоязычном художественном тексте.

Ключевые слова: дискурс, нарративный дискурс, дискурсная зона наратора, дискурсная зона персонажа, нарративный фрейм, форма наррации, способ репродукции речи, речевые формы, когнитивная динамика, коммуникативна динамика.
