STRUCTURAL-SEMANTIC AND FUNCTIONAL-STYLISTIC TYPOLOGY OF WORD COMBINATIONS IN RUSSIAN FICTION PROSE OF THE 19TH–21ST CENTURIES

Abstract

This article attempts a multi-aspect linguistic analysis of syntactic units functioning within the space of fictional discourse of the 19th–21st centuries, where the word combination is viewed not as a static grammatical construction, but as a dynamic tool for shaping authorial modality and the cognitive-aesthetic context. The study is based on a synthesis of the morpho-syntactic aspect, detailing classic types of connection — agreement, government, and adjunction in their determination by the rhythmic-melodic organization of the phrase — and a cognitive-semantic approach, which allows for identifying the mechanisms of crystallization of the writer's conceptual world picture through specific attributive links and verbal valency.

Particular attention is paid to the processes of stylistic transformation and the de-automatization of syntax: based on a comparative analysis of texts of classical realism (I. Turgenev, L. Tolstoy) and modern meta-prose (E. Vodolazkin, T. Tolstaya), the mechanisms for converting normative models into artistic devices are identified. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the substantiation of a diachronic shift from strict hierarchical government, characteristic of the classical canon, to expressive adjunction and intentional syntactic anomalies in postmodern literature, demonstrating how the author's idiolect recodes standard connections into unique meanings, transforming the word combination into a micro-text with a high level of emotional entropy and suggestive impact.
