Ryzhkova V. Realization of the Category of Intertextuality in the American Belles-Lettres Text of the 19th-20th centuries

The object of the research is the American belles-lettres text of the 19th-20th centuries. The aim of the research is to distinguish and to analyze ways of intertextual interaction and their verbalization in the American belles-lettres text of the 19th-20th centuries. The methods of the research are inductive-deductive and structural and semiotic methods; methods of functional and quantitative analyses. Theoretical results and novelty: for the first time a clear distinction between such notions as "theory" and "category" of intertextuality is given; new types of intertextual interaction are singled out; the realia is considered as an intertextual element; archaisms, latinisms, historicisms, poeticisms and occasionalisms are viewed as intertextual elements; typological characteristics of the American short story text are singled out; its intertextual connections are analyzed. Practical results: the usage in lecture courses on text theory, functional stylistics of the English language. The sphere of application: linguo-stylistics.
