THE VARIOUS-LEVEL DISRUPTIONS OF THEMATIC COHESION AS A MEANS OF ENHANCING THE EXPRESSIVENESS OF THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE FICTION TEXT

Abstract

The article considers the functioning features and realization means of intentional disruptions of thematic cohesion in the English-language fiction text. The disruptions of thematic connections are studied as a various-level process in which the destruction of textual cohesion at the lexical, interphrasal and supraphrasal levels acts as an l stylistic device. The analysis reveals that disruptions of thematic cohesion are realized by means of lexical elements uncorrelated with the main idea of the text, breaks of thematic progression, meaningful separation of microtopics within the whole text. Special attention is paid to deliberate breaks of thematic connections in which the fiction text retains its appropriateness. Concluded is that intentional disruptions of thematic cohesion at any textual level are clearly revealed in the English-language fiction text due to its various-level structure and act as an effective means to enhance the expressive potential of a fiction work.
