Dedication as a strategy and code of cultural text
The article analyzes the cultural dedicatory strategy. The author attempts to rethink the scientific and theoretical understanding of the genre of initiation, considers the types of initiation. The author believes that in contrast to the «header frame» dedication can be part of the whole work. Dedication may be at the beginning of the work, in the middle of it and the end of it. The researcher considers not only the head dedication, but also the acrostic and the date of the works. The author of the study offers new bases and criteria, the new terminological variants for the analysis of different types of initiations.
