FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTIC STATUS OF PARENTHESIS IN V. V. NABOKOV’S ARTISTIC DISCOURSE
The article is devoted to the functional-semantic features of plug-in units in the space of V. V. Nabokov’s fiction text. The relevance of this article is determined, firstly, by the need to promote a scientific study of fiction syntax as an important part of speech. Secondly, we aim to fill one of the research gaps in the studies devoted to the language of V. V. Nabokov, who is a significant author of Russian literature and Russian culture. The scientific novelty lies in the integrated consideration of all structural varieties of plug-in components - from words to the means of expression by a complex syntactic whole. We also identify functional types of insertion elements in the fictional text as a means of expressing certain author’s intentions, and consider plug-in components as specific stylistic features of language in V. V. Nabokov’s novels. The article defines the syntactic status of plug-in units, develops their structural model, presents a functional and semantic classification of plug-in units and reveals their descriptive and expressive potential in the artistic fabrics of V. V. Nabokov’s novels “Lolita” and “King, Queen, Knave”. Among plug-in units, performing an additional message function in V. V. Nabokov’s works, we have identified: 1) paranthesis that contains information of adverbial character; 2) parenthesis, containing connection information; 3) paranthesis, containing attributive-characterizing information - all these features distinguish his style, characterized by the writer’s sharp-sightedness, picturesque description of minor things and “aptly grasped details”.
