Interpretation of literary

INTERPRETATION OF THE TEXT AS A SUBJECT, ITS 
AIMS AND TASKS, ITS LINKS WITH OTHER SUBJECTS 
Interpretation of the text as a subject comprises a system of met-
hods and devices for grasping the meaning of a belles-lettres text. The 
object of text Interpretation is literary text. It conveys information from 
one man to another. The reader's perception of the literary work depends 
on his knowledge, experience and cultural level (the reader's thesaurus). 
The main task of text interpretation is to prepare the reader to give a 
proper evaluation of the literary work and the idea expressed in it. 
Text interpretation is a linguistic subject. It is connected with 
stylistics, literature, philosophy, socialogy, ethics, aesthetics, her-
menuetics (the science of interpretation), axiology (the science of 
significance and values). 
The Interpretation of the text undergoes two stages. At the first stage 
we learn the plot of a book and acquaint ourselves with its characters. At 
the second we perform the analysis by examining the categories of the 
text and its language peculiarities. The main categories we shall deal 
with are: the categories of informativity,. modality, implicitness, 
segmentation and wholeness (cohesion) of the text. 
INFORMATIVITY OF THE TEXT 
The category of Informativity is the main category of the text; it is 
the ability to convey information. We distinguish the following kinds of 
information: 1) factual (it contains reports about facts, events, processes 
which take place in the text. It discloses the plot of the text); 2) 
subtextual information (it is additional information that can be extracted 
from the text — subcurrent); 3) conceptual information (is reveals the 
idea of the text by the through out analyses of stylistic and pragmatic 
facts relevant for Interpretation). 
These three kinds of information arc revealed with the help of 
some elements of foregrounding and poetic details.
