On Actual Direction of Linguopoetics: Russian Conjunctions in Text Service (History of Issue)

Abstract

The article is a review of scientific data on the study of text functions of Russian unions. The main stages of the linguists’ interest in the artistic potentials of Russian language coordinating and subordinating conjunctions as part of the syntactic constructions of literary works are described. The article emphasizes that the combined results of the research indicate the effectiveness of syndesis as one of the means of creating a functional, communicative and pragmatic essence of a literary text. It is stated that the study of conjunctive sentences in the text perspective is an actual and developing direction, but the general theory of text functions of Russian conjunctions has not yet fully developed. The author considers that it is expedient to reveal the methodological mechanism of interaction of deep private meanings of conjunctive utterances in the process of their participation in creation of the conceptual meaning of a literary work equal to the author’s intention. The present study promotes the expansion of ideas about the functions of functional parts of speech in the artistic narrative, and also outlines the prospects for the study of other Russian conjunctions in the textual aspect.
