Kondratenko N. Ukrainian Modernist and Postmodernist Discourse: Communicative-pragmatic and Text-syntactic Aspects.

The basic principles of the communicative and pragmatic as well as the textual and syntactic organization of the literary discourse common for both Ukrainian modernist and postmodernist prose are analyzed in the dissertation. The discursive status of the literary text referring to the non-classical paradigm is grounded; the specific character of the gaming principle of the literary discourse organization aimed at defining the realization of linguistic games as well as the "carnival" nature of the modernist and postmodernist prose works at the syntactical level is identified. The category of dialogism as a dominant in the literary discourse referring to the non-classical paradigm as well as the linguistic means of both the inner-textual and inter-textual interaction within the narrative text structure are analyzed. For the first time in Ukrainian Linguistics the modernist and postmodernist literary discourse as a manifestation of the non-classical type of the verbal creation is comprehensively analyzed; the specific character of the author - personage - reader communicative interaction is identified; the typology of the inter-textual elements and speech "masks" is developed. The typical tendencies of syntactical redundancy as well as syntactical compression are determined.
