FUNCTIONAL TYPES OF INSERTIONS IN L.N. TOLSTOY’S NOVEL “WAR AND PEACE”
Keywords:
Inserted constructions that convey additional information contain data confirming or refuting the content of the previous utterance. They complement what has been said with homogeneous (or heterogeneous) information—information of contrast, comparison, or opposition—and introduce various kinds of reservations or corrections prompted by certain expressions or content in the preceding statement.Abstract
Inserted constructions, being one of the most vivid elements of expressive syntax, function in the text according to the author’s purposes and intentions. Depending on which purpose prevails and by what communicative means the author achieves it, three main types of communicative functions of insertions can be distinguished [1]:
- Insertions performing the function of additional information.
- Insertions performing the clarifying and explanatory function.
- Insertions performing the expressive and evaluative function.
- Insertions Performing the Function of Additional Information
