Abstract

The article analyses the cognitive mechanisms of interpretation of the literary text viewed in the context of discourse interaction. As the article shows, being the elements of discourse, the cognitive structures determine the procedures of interpretation of the literary text. Viewed from the cognitive aspect, such interpretation consists in constituting new cognitive images in the reader’s mind on the basis of various discourse markers (scientific terms, syntactic patterns, etc.). The article demonstrates on the material of the English language the role of cognitive scripts, belonging to the scientific worldview, in arranging the plot of the literary text. The phenomenon of interpretation finds its manifestation in filling in the slots of the cognitive script in the process of reading the text. Considering the semantic potential of scientific discourse markers, the author reveals the influence of the scientific worldview on the literary world picture. The analysis of text fragments enables the author to conclude that the study of discourse interaction can prove useful in text analysis as it may help revealing the specificity of an author’s idiostyle and a reader’s interpretation of the text.

文学文本世界观中的认知剧本实验(基于道格拉斯·亚当斯的小说《银河系漫游指南》)

本文分析了话语互动语境下文学文本解读的认知机制。认知结构作为语篇的构成要素，决定着文学文本的解读过程。从认知角度看，这种解读就是在各种话语标记(科学术语、句法模式等)的基础上，在读者的脑海中形成新的认知形象。本文以英语为材料，论证了科学世界观下的认知剧本在安排文学篇章情节中的作用。解读现象表现为在阅读文本的过程中填补认知脚本的空白。从科学话语标记的语义潜能出发，揭示科学世界观对文学世界图景的影响。对语篇片段的分析使作者得出结论，语篇互动的研究在语篇分析中是有用的，因为它可以帮助揭示作者独特风格的特殊性和读者对文本的解释。
