Literary text as the main object of philological analysis
The literary text is based on the image. The imagery of a literary text is created through the interaction of linguistic units of different levels (sound, lexical, morphological, syntactic), implemented in the text. The language has its own set of figurative means, that is, the means by which the speaker can convey a figurative representation, recreate a "piece of reality", express an attitude towards what is being described. Our language is rich in metaphors, expressive vocabulary, it has a fairly large set of suffixes that serve to express emotions, characteristics, assessments. An inexhaustible source of imagery is phraseology. The figurative means of language are actively used in colloquial speech, in journalism, partly in scientific speech (for example, in such a variety as oral scientific speech: lecture, report).
Features of the literary text
Features of the literary text
The object of philological analysis is an literary text, therefore, it is necessary to dwell in more detail on the features inherent in this particular type of text. N.A. Nikolina distinguishes the following features of a literary text:
1. In a literary text, unlike other texts, the intra-text reality is conditional, as a rule, fictional. The world depicted in a literary text correlates with reality only indirectly, reflects, refracts, transforms it in accordance with the wishes of the author. To designate this feature of a literary text, the term "fictionality" is used, emphasizing the conventionality of the fictional inner world of the text.
2. A literary text contains not only semantic, but also the so-called artistic, or aesthetic, information, which is realized only within a specific artistic text. Any of its elements can be carriers of artistic (aesthetic) information: formal, semantic means, graphic elements.
