THE ROLE OF DOCUMENTARY FACTOR IN THE ENGLISH SHORT STORY TEXT CONSTRUCTION
This article focuses on the role of documentary in Roald Dahl's short English-language stories. The purpose of the article is to identify the role of documentary influence on the structure of textual information and, in particular, on the factual information, which is largely determined by the plot of the literary text. The purpose of the research is realized in the formulation of the following tasks: 1) to detect cases of including documentary information in English short stories; 2) to analyze the nature of this documentary information; 3) to establish the role of the inclusion of documentary information in the basis of the plot of a literary text, the result of which is a certain transformation of the structure of textual information. It was concluded that all documentary inclusions in the text of the stories produce different layers of textual information, revealing in a number of cases the direct dependence of the created text on the documentary material. Such dependence indicates the high significance of the documentary facts included in the text that can fully determine the plot of the story.
