CROSS TEXT INTERPRETATION: THE COMBINATION OF THE PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS METHOD (THE METOD OF COUNTERTEXTS ANALYSIS) AND THE METHODS OF DECODING STYLISTICS

Abstract

The article discusses two methods of text analysis – the method proposed by the decoding style and text analysis using a psycholinguistic experiment, and describes their basic approaches, positive and negative aspects in terms of effectiveness and validity of the results. The necessity to create a text analysis method that combines the positive qualities of both mentioned above methods has been established. The previously set complicative psycholinguistic experiment is proposed as a possible basis for the creation of such a method. The exemplary procedures for applying the cross-method for the purposes of special philological and reader analysis of texts for the purposes of effective text generation are described further in the article. The research analyzes possible positive and negative consequences of the application of the proposed method and indicates the means of countering its use for undesirable purposes. The article may be of interest to specialists in philology, teachers of foreign languages, foreign and Russian literature, as well as to a wide range of readers interested in the problem of text analysis.
