Interaction of Narrative and Lyrical Principles in Texts of Contemporary Musical Performers

Abstract

A comprehensive linguistic study of the functional features of the linguistic and communicative-pragmatic organization of narrative in text materials posted on the Internet platform is presented. Particular attention is paid to how the interpenetration of the narrative and lyrical principles occurs within one work. The material for the research was the text of the hip-hop opera “Orpheus & Eurydice” posted on the re-source “Yandex.Music”. A complex technique of interpretation of narrative strategies based on the methods of functional-stylistic, communicative-pragmatic and lexical-semantic analysis was used. The question is raised about the peculiarities of the functioning of the lyric text within the narrative and about their relationship. The role played by the mythologization of the narrative text is shown in the article. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that the author describes the relationship be-tween narrative and lyricism in the work. The question of establishing the determinants of hip-hop narrative is raised. The structure of a narrative text with elements of lyricism is considered. The results of the analysis of the peculiarities of the linguistic embodiment of the narrators and actants are presented. The author dwells on the communicative-functional structure of the studied text, describing the specific functions of the narrative with fragments of lyricism. A model for determining the leading type of cognitive modeling (narrative or lyrics) through the functional and linguopragmatic study of the hip-hop text is proposed.
