Interpretation of literary

WHOLENESS OF THE LITERARY TEXT. (COHESION) 
The text wholeness, the organic hitching of its parts is inherent 
both to separate spans of the text and to the entire speech production. 
Separate spans into which the text is fractioned are joined together 
preserving the unity, totality of the literary work, ensuring 
consecutiveness (continuum) of the related events, facts, 
actions, 
The category of cohesion deals with grammatic, lexical, logical 
stylistic composition—structural and associative means of connection 
which join separate parts of the text into total unity. 
COMPOSITION OF THE TEXT

Composition of a literary work is a system of arranging its 
constituing parts used by the author. Composition depends on the plot. 
The basic elements of the plot construction are: 
1) exposition (it is some information that preceded the depicted 
events); 2) the initial collision (it represents an event that starts action); 
3) the development of the plot (it shows actions in their development); 
4) culmination (it is the highest point of action); 5) denouement (it is the 
event that brings the action to the end); 6) end; 7) epilogue. 
SEGMENTATION OF THE TEXT 
The category of segmentation implies the division of the literary 
work into parts. Thus, a novel is segmented into the following parts: a 
volume, a part, a chapter, paragraphs, syntactical wholes. This kind of 
segmentation is called volume-pragmatic, because it divides larger parts 
(volumes) into smaller ones for the convenience of the reader. 
The second kind of segmentation is called context-variative. It 
classifies the manner of communicating information and according to it 
we distinguish: narration, description, the author's meditations 
(digression), dialogue, monologue, represented speech, stream of 
consciousness. Variation in the shape of prose gives a mental respite to 
the reader. 
POETIC DETAIL 
Poetic details serve for more profound characterization of events 
and personages. We distinguish the following kinds of details. 
1. Depicting details, which create the visual image of nature and 
appearance. 
2. Authenticity details, which bring the reader to believe in real 
existence of things and events described in imaginative literature. They 
denote the names of countries, towns, streets, hotels and so on. 
3. Characterological details, which reveal the personage's psycho-
logical qualities, individual traits and habits. They underline the most 
essential features. E.g. Fabian always left very big tips for waiters. 
4. The details of implicitness, which suggest additional deep-lying 
meaning and create undercurrent information. E.G. "It pleased her to be 
seen in the dress circle even with Andrew". (Ara-kin. p. V. Lesson 4. 
"One stair up") the word "even" suggests the thought that Rose 
considered Andrew an inferior person but for want of a better partner 
went to the cinema in his company. 
FOREGROUNDING

It is the actualization of potential possibilities of the language. It is 
realized with the help of phonetic, lexical, syntactical S.D. and the 
convergence of S.D. (the concentration of S.D. in a relatively short text 
span). 
It is also typical of key words and thematic words (some repeated 
words which become symbolic. For example: "rain" — the symbol of 
unhappiness; "lion"—the symbol of courage).
