Modern philological studies of drama
Nowadays,
dramatic texts have become the subject of deep and complex linguistic study. While analyzing the peculiarities of dramatic
language and its textual features scientists focus on such its main aspects: linguostylistic, compositional and architectonical,
structural, lexical, phraseological, typological,
communicative.
Taking into
consideration these basic linguistic aspects, the following approaches to the
drama research can be outlined as the main directions of the modern
philological studies of dramatic dialogues: communicative, cognitive, pragmatic, structural, linguo-stylistic
and literary.
Communicative
investigation (M. Holovanyeva 2010, E. Kubryakova 2008, Y. Levchuk 2015,
V. Nikonov 2008, A. Olimska
2016, N. Petrova 2009,) (or its components) is one of
the most widely used direction of drama study. It allows focusing on such speech
phenomena as the communicative interaction of the participants of dramatic
dialogue. It is aimed at disclosure of semantic features by studying the
concept of space and genre identity.
The
communicative aspect can also be the basis for a pragmatic analysis of the
dramatic text.
Pragmatic
investigation of drama (N. Borisenko 2015, I. Karimov 2004, N. Olkhovska
2007) reveals the mechanism of building up the relationship and mutual speech process
“author – character –
reader”. Pragmatic division
of dramatic texts allows taking into account all options of communication. Speech
act is supposed to be the leading subject of drama research in terms of
pragmatic approach that can detect functional communicative features of
language interaction, as well as strategies and tactics of verbal behavior.
Structural
research (A. Kutoyan 2007, V. Mizetska
1992, N. Safonov 2006, K. Tolchyeyeva
2008, T. Shestakov, 2005) allows studying of the
composition of the structural elements of drama and the principles of their
formation and interaction. Structural and functional analysis reveals idiostylistic content and features of the dramatic text by
studying its textual structure, notably architectonics, composition and intertextual relations.
Linguostylistic direction to drama discourse investigation (A. Baraban 1994, N. Mostova
2002, A. Ozhigov 2003, A. Perederiy
2012) is being conducted by a great number of linguists. Modern linguostylistic approaches to study of the dramatic text
are focused on understanding its internal structural and semantic organization
determined by its genre identity, the awareness of systematic connections of
the author’s idiostyle as the defining parameter
forming the ideological and artistic content of drama. Conceptual structure is
seen through the prism of different means of content and categories creation.
Literary
approach to the dramatic texts studies is known to be the specific combination
of literary and philological investigations. In modern literary studies of N. Bidenko (2001), L. Bondarenko
(2009), A. Minor (2005), A. Rechka (2002) we can
observe the prevailing tendency for some aspects of language learning of the
dramatic dialogue, its poetics and stylistic importance in the creation of the
whole content.
From the results
of the analysis of drama in all the above mentioned directions, it follows that
the function of speech act is considered to be the functional element of drama
discourse. Stylistic approach to the drama can detect individual stylistic features
of the author by analyzing the specific stylistic figures. In our opinion, the
combination of the above elements may allow deeper and more complex exploration
of the author's model of drama and separate its prototype depending on the
genre of the latter.
