Compositional and Stylistic Harmonizing Means of the Texts of Publicistic Discourse: In Search of a Lost Dialogue
The article is devoted to the identification of factors and the description of compositional and stylistic means that facilitate or impede the harmonization of communicative interaction of the author and the addressee within the framework of publicistic discourse. The initial theoretical position is the assertion that effective (harmonizing) speech communication is possible only with the dialogic interaction of participants in speech communication. Important conditions for harmonious communication in publicistic discourse are the consistency of the communicants’ parameters (the coincidence or proximity of the author’s and addressee’s mental, conceptual and cognitive systems; the priority of the addressee’s point of view in interpreting the event); author’s orientation on a certain model of the world, which is the basis of the conceptual sphere of “his” reader. The article proposed a number of signs of harmonizing publicistic texts as a reflection of the author’s constructive position. These signs were revealed in the analysis of the compositional and stylistic organization of texts of well-known publicists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (V.M. Shukshin, B. Bronshtein, etc.): constructiveness, social orientation, dialogicality, lack of unambiguity in the conclusions; wealth of compositional and stylistic structure; long life cycle of texts, etc.
