Abstract

The narrative world of autobiographical novels is reflected in interdiegesis view, particularly in author’s description of life story. The narrative tactic of persuasion is realizing through the romantic and sensitive image created by syntactical figures. The syntax implicates a huge amount of expressive possibilities that are able to deliver the thinnest nuances of sense, emotions and feelings. Asyndeton is very spread in autobiographical novels as it is built on the basis of gradation element as well as it alternates with ellipsis. Chiasmus as a unit of form and content produces impressive influence on reader also due to wordplay. The convergence presents the unification of stylistic and syntactic means of influence. In women autobiographical novels the syntactical particularities are decoding the comprehension of women world, her values, cognitive intentions. The female features such as loquacity, emotionality, sensuality are revealed through inhomogeneity of syntactical picture, filling of syntactical forms by stylistic means targeted to activate reader attention.
