ARTISTIC TEXT AS A STATEMENT (ON EXAMPLE OF THE A.P. CHEKHOV STORY “WARD № 6”)

Summary/Abstract: Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is a world famous Russian play and short story writer and one of the greatest writers in history. The article reviews one of the most famous Chekhov’s stories “Ward № 6”. The article describes the method of analysis of the text taking into account the internal dynamics of the construction of statements and their inclusion in the chain of communication in the practice of interactive teaching Turkish students of the Russian language in an extralinguistic environment. The text of Chekhov’s story “Ward № 6” is considered as an appeal to the reader and a message to the addressee from whom a response is expected in the form of assessment, criticism, sympathy or objection. Three types of utterances constructing the text are studied and analyzed: author monologue speech, direct speech of the characters and their dialogs. The individuality of the speech subject, that is the author of the story, his style, worldview, the idea of the work as well as various forms of transferring the speech of the characters in relation to the author's speech is revealed. The role of the landscape sketch is analyzed as a reference to the time of year, month, time of day, weather, scene of action, from which the description of the development of the story’s plot begins as well as a marker of the emotional state of the character. Analysis of the text of Chekho’s story “Ward № 6” was made with Turkish students as part of an interactive teaching of Russian as a foreign language in comparative literature. Analysis of the text including the difficulties of perceiving a foreign language text allows to conclude that the strategy of reading and understanding Russian literature texts involves a conscious approach to those speech means that are used by the writer in the process of compiling the text as a complex statement that poses essential questions to readers, to which each of them will have to find their own individual answer.
