ABOUT THE LANGUAGE ESTHETICS OF I.A. BUNIN''S STORY "LIGHT BREATHING"
In this paper, an attempt has been made, using linguistic methods, to explain the aesthetic effect of the story "Light Breathing" by I.A. Bunin - the effect of light, celebrated by all researchers of this work. Explanations of this artistic feature of the story are most often sought with the use of literary methods in the plane of the relationship between form and content - plot and story line. In the theoretical basis of the proposed article lies the stylistic theory of the artistic speech of V.V. Vinogradov, aimed at identifying and analyzing contextual stylistic units - structural forms of speech, designed by the writer. The article describes the structural forms of speech that makes up the linguistic composition of Bunin's story. These components, in accordance with the teachings of V.V. Vinogradov are described as "verbal rows". Verbal rows are used as a linguistic means of studying the compositional characteristics of a narrative text. The nature of the word series, their elements and the principles of combining the elements into a whole are determined in accordance with the composition of the text "Light Breathing", which in science is considered established in principle: from the point of view of the relationship between the plot and the story line, this composition is based on temporary mixtures of plot action. In this regard, the word series are determined by the temporal lexical and grammatical indicators of language means. Two verbal rows with temporal semantics are distinguished - a presentable verbal row and a perfect verbal row. It is revealed that the presented verbal row serves as the compositional frame of the perfect verbal row. It is shown that the perfect verbal row in the presentation frame provides the aesthetic effect of the story.
