INTERDISCOURSIVE INCLUSIONS AS THE WAY OF CONSTRUCTION OF SENSE IN D. BROWN’S NOVEL “DIGITAL FORTRESS”

Abstract

The article considers the peculiarities of representation of general and special scientific knowledge in the semiotic space of literary text. The author analyzes such representatives of scientific knowledge as scientific terms and precedent proper names of science which possess significant cognitive-expressive potential and, as a result, are widely used by authors of literary texts as interdiscoursive inclusions for formation of blended discoursive space. Cognitive-expressive potentialof these language units manifests itself in their ability to represent with the help of the minimum of language means complex mental structures, or concepts, accumulating the information that is necessary for construction of sense in the process of interpretation of the text by the reader. The conclusion is made that background knowledge belonging to peripheral zones of the concept determines the direction of the interpretation activity of the reader that explains the existence of the numerous variants of interpretation of such language units and the peculiar role of the reader in this process.
