VERBALIZATION OF THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT OF “HISTORIAN” SOCIAL ROLE IN LEO TOLSTOY’S AND JOHN FOWLES’ DIARY DISCOURSE: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

Aim. To establish the linguistic features characteristic of intertextual inclusions in diary discourse, thematically united by an appeal to history and the perception of historical events by a linguistic person, and the ability of this kind of intertextual inclusions to convey emotions.Methodology. Several interdependent research methods were used: contextual, lexico-stylistic, discursive, linguocultural, statistical. The analysis showed the presence of an increased emotive involvement of the authors in the changes taking place around them, as evidenced by the extended range of means of expression and their convergence.Results. It was revealed that the social role of the “Historian” has a special tool for advancing in the flow of speech (“they-communication”) and a special way of using the intertestal references as means of expression.Research implications. The study contributes to the expansion of views on the nature of the intertext and its emotive mode, as well as to the possibility of using the proposed approach in classes on analytical reading, discourse theory and text interpretation.
