SEGMENTED CONSTRUCTIONS OF COLLOQUIAL SYNTAX IN V.M. SHUKSHIN’S STORIES

Abstract

The article describes segmented constructions of colloquial syntax in stories of Vasily Makarovich Shukshin: constructions of the Nominative Theme, infinitive-subject, nominative-subject, binary sentences, parcelled constructions. Segmentation is regarded as one of the ways of stylization of the artistic text, a kind of “generator of expressiveness”. This determines a wide representation and activity of segmented syntactic constructions in works of fiction. The topicality of the research is determined by the increasing attention of linguists to the expressive syntax and segmented syntactic constructions as a subject of syntactic and stylistic research, their poly-functionality, the significance of the role which they play in structuring literary and literary texts.
