COMMUNICATIVE AND PRAGMATIC DIMENSIONS OF NOMINATIVE SENTENCES IN ENGLISH LITERARY TEXT

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to analysis of such syntactic structure as nominative sentence. Nominative sentences are used in artistic description. The desire of emphasis, imagery, expressiveness stimulates an artist of a word to search for new, non-standard forms and the choice of the most effective language repositories, and thus the most influential syntactic forms. The aim of our study is to analyze the communicative-pragmatic display of semantics of nominative sentences and their expressive potential in outline of literary text. The material for the study are works of contemporary American writers (novel by Susan Collins "The Hunger Games" and novel by Anthony Doerr "All the light we cannot see"). Nominative sentences combine the function of the nomination, the name of the subject and the idea of its existence. These sentences implement various personal will of the addresser, his conscious, intentional activity aimed at the addressee. Undoubtedly, a clear predicted goal of the author is not to remain the reader indifferent, because efficiency of realization of author’s intentions is determined with the impact on the addressee. Intension determines the strategy of the author, the choice of syntactic structures. Quite often we fix chances when nominative sentences begin author’s narration, that is they help the author to build up a composite structure of literary text. Nominative structures allow author to increase the expressiveness of a sentence, focus on important parts of the narration and reflect the internal state of the literary hero.
