DOMINANT TYPES OF LANDSCAPE DESCRIPTIONS IN VERBALIZING THE TEXT CATEGORY OF COHERENCE

Abstract

The article studies the main features of types of landscape descriptions in providing the coherence and cohesion of a literary text. The essence of these linguistic phenomena is analyzed. Cohesion and the integrity of text space are considered in immediate connection with the phenomena in question. Basic intertextuality characteristics are studied as regards cognitive strategies and the phenomenon of inter-textual competence. The analysis is made within the frameworks of pragmalinguistic methods; the description of correspondence of landscape descriptions per-locutionary effect as a part of integral textual space persuasion and illocutionary goal. With the reference to the analysis of the phenomenon in different linguo-cultures it is claimed that the pragmatic factors of the "Description of nature" type enhance coherence in a literary text. Typological criteria for differentiation of landscape descriptions fostering the coherence are specified. Coherence is viewed as a cognitive-pragmatic mechanism of global structure and text semantics interconnection. Social and pragmatic features of landscape descriptions can represent the potential of increasing the literary text coherence degree; communicative and pragmatic parameters of the landscape description elements intended to provide the general coherence of the textual space in its unities works in the direct convergent cross-functionally with other means of text cohesion development.
