Based on the analysis of theoretical positions, as well as taking into account the linguistic specifics of newspaper publications, repetition is interpreted, which functions at different language levels as lexical-syntactic. Repetition at the lexical level of language in the work is characterized as repetition of full or incomplete tokens, phrases or sentences in one statement. Repetition at the syntactic level of language is interpreted as the repetition of predicate, substantial syntaxes, attributive or circumstantial extenders, simple sentences with the predominant use of the same tokens.
The classifications of lexical-syntactic repetition available in linguistics are analyzed, they are generalized. The criteria by which repetition is usually classified are clarified, in particular: functions in language, linearity, semantics, frequency of use in the text, explicitness, specificity of language expression, accuracy of language units reproduction, corresponding language levels, structural-semantic criterion.
According to the semantic criterion, two main groups of lexical repetition are defined: with the same meaning of repeated tokens and with different meaning of repeated tokens. Taking into account the structural criterion, the approaches to the classification of repetition are described: by the number of repeated elements; by the structure of repeating elements; by the method of placing repeating elements.
Among the types of syntactic repetition, the repetition of substantial syntaxes is singled out. It has been observed that the language of the studied newspapers is dominated by repetitions of object syntaxes that express the subject to which the action is directed. Object substantial syntaxes include syntaxes of action, process, qualitative feature, state. Subjective substantive syntaxes that express the active performer of an action include the syntaxes of action, process, qualitative feature, and quantitative feature. It is determined that the repetition of predicate syntaxes in the language of modern Ukrainian newspapers is aimed at depicting the dynamism of the narrative, less often - static, contributes to the actualization of the topic of publication and the formation of similar syntactic constructions in the supra-phrase unity; repetition of predicate syntaxes is the semantic center of the sentence.
The active functioning of repetitions of circumstantial and attributive syntax-spreaders was observed. The main pragmalinguistic functions inherent in the following repetitions are determined: reinforcing and clarifying, less often - persuasion, comparison, opposition.
It was found that an important means of expressing the language of newspaper journalism and actualizing the reader's attention is the use of lexical and syntactic repetition in various structural components of the newspaper text: main - headline, beginning, main part, ending and additional - subheading, ice.
It is established that the actualization of the readers' attention is also achieved due to the presence of an open or hidden author's position in the newspaper publication. The author's position is differentiated into three types, the purpose of which is to motivate the reader to specific conclusions or active actions: author-observer, author-expert, author-manipulator.
It is pointed out that the expediency of using an author's position in the text is determined by genre specificity, and the most common genre varieties in the press of the period under study are article, essay, interview, report, post, information, review, report, commentary, essay. New, less common, genre varieties have also been identified: confession, recollection, which belong to the artistic and journalistic genre group and perform mainly a therapeutic pragmalinguistic function.
The functional parameters of the lexical-syntactic repetition of the modern Ukrainian newspaper text are outlined. It is established that the function of actualization is noticeably inferior to the amplifying and concretizing functions in all genre varieties. It was found that in informational newspaper genres repetitions do not show special stylistic abilities and most often perform declarative and actually representative functions, and artistic-journalistic and analytical genres are characterized by the implementation of voluntaristic, therapeutic, accentuation, appellation and other pragmalinguistic.
Lexical-syntactic repetition is characterized bilaterally: Lexical-syntactic repetition is characterized bilaterally: as a separate stylistic figure and as the main stylistic method of creating stylistic figures: anaphora, epiphora, simploke, anadiplosis, amplification, chiasm, antithesis. Stylistic figures are differentiated into those that depend on the positional placement of repeating elements, and those that appear on the basis of semantic shades.
