TYPOLOGY OF INTERTEXTUAL CONNECTIONS IN POSTMODERN DISCOURSE: TEXTUAL, CONTEXTUAL AND METATEXTUAL INFLUENCES

Abstract

Artistic texts as products of individual authorial creative work, formed as a result of interaction with previous texts – with literary and cultural heritage, require a systematic linguistic study. They enter into a dialogue with the semiosphere both at the moment of generation, and in the process of their reading, perception and understanding.
The organization of the artistic text structure occurs with the help of intertextual connections in conceptual and linguistic forms. Thus, the study and understanding of the artistic text involves the research of the conceptual and language picture of the writer’s world, the linguistic representation of intertextual connections. In postmodern artistic texts, pretexts are recoded, instead, intertextual forms, harmoniously combined and mutually rethought, create the idiostyle profile. Each writer has his own vocabulary, favorite themes and images that define internal cycles in his creative work, which cannot be contained within precise chronological boundaries.
Currently, there is a revival of attention to the scientific study of intertextual relations specifics in postmodern discourse, as well as a general gravity tendency of the humanitarian paradigm of knowledge to the cognitive and communicative analysis of textual communication, in particular, the influence of postmodernism on modern post-industrial communicative culture, which finds expression in the artistic speech aesthetics. The use of the concept “the author’s consciousness” is necessary in the study of the communicative, cognitive, informative and emotional integrity of the text. The modeling of the writer’s consciousness with the help of intertextual connections with other texts is based on the ideas of cognitive linguistics.
