COGNITIVE ATTRACTOR OF THE TEXTUAL STYLISTIC CONVERGENCE
Abstract
This paper reports on the findings of a study of stylistic convergence in lingua-synergetic aspect. The research proves that not only semantic attractor plays the crucial role in understanding the converged fragments of the text. We suggest that cognitive attractors are the factors determining the creative potential of the stylistic convergence and the sense evolution as well as the interrelations between its elements. The inner algorithm of text interpretation in the places of stylistic convergence depends on the revealing cognitive attractors identifying cognitive mechanisms on which stylistic convergence formation is based.
