Military memories and front epistolary: dominant determinant relations

Abstract

The rationale of this study is inclusion in the problems of the theory of the written everyday Russian speech and genre studies. The purpose of this work is to identify dominant-determinant relationships and establish a hierarchical relationship between them. The object of the research is the texts of natural written Russian speech - military memoirs and letters from the front. The subject of the study is dominant-determinant communication in the texts of ordinary Russian native speakers. The research was made in line with the school of Natalya Borisovna Lebedeva, which has been existing since 2000, where the main object of the study is natural writing , which is understood as speech activity characterized by the following features: writing, lack of professionalism, spontaneity, non-replicability, unofficial existence, lack of participation of intermediaries and authorities (censor, editor, printing mechanisms, etc.) between the author and the addressee, the uniqueness of existence. At the Barnaul-Kemerovo School of Natural Writing (hereinafter referred to as the NWP), two approaches to the study of handwritten texts are distinguished: an analysis using a communicative semiotic model (hereinafter referred to as CSM), and a dominant-determinant technique for identifying independent (dominant) and dependent (determinant) genre-relevant characters.
