ЛИНГВИСТИЧЕСКИЕ МЕТОДЫ АНАЛИЗА ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОГО ДИСКУРСА

The present article is devoted to the study of linguistic methods of analyzing literary text from
the standpoint of discourse. It seems to be important to understand discourse as a dialogue, polemics
or discussion since this indicates the internal heterogeneity of literary fiction. We suppose that
various discourses form different views on reality. We focus on four discoursive methodologies to the
research of literary works that interact and complement one another: communicative-pragmatic, cognitive
semantic, conceptual, semiotic and synergetic approaches. This choice was justified by the fact
that the above-mentioned ways of analysis could take account of essential parameters which constitute
the artistic discourse such as the socio-cultural context, the pragmatic attitude of the author, the influence
of the reader`s interpretation on the meaning of the utterance. We provide the concept of reader`
s discourse, which means the communicative activity of the recipient. The instability of artistic discourse
depends not only on the complex structure of the artwork, the polysemantic nature of particular
concepts, the blending of discursive formats and its inherit genres, but not least the reader`s perception,
which could model or transform the artistic work, reveal in the text those meanings that, perhaps,
were not incorporated into the utterance by the author himself. Artistic discourse constitutes a mosaic
structures what is extremely productive from the perspective of our study. We understand contemporary non-classical artistic discourse as a complicated self-organizing system and our work represents the possible way of researching problems related to polydiscoursivity in modern literature on the material of the novels “Pineapple water for a beautiful lady” by V. Pelevin and “Venus` hair’ by M. Shishkin.
