Linguistic Structural Conceptual Framework of Literary Non-Fiction

Abstract

This  paper is an attempt to study the linguistic layer of the memoir-writing genre  primarily as exploration of  linguistic mentality of a person (linguistic person, character), through which both the human being and the social environment become recognizable.

This research describes the conceptual framework of the linguistic structure of the literary nonfiction by employing the following two principles: definition of the linguistic complexity of text-writing techniques  and presentation of aesthetic value of these texts.

A number of descriptive, stylistic and structural methods employed in the study  show that memoir writing undergoes significant changes and enriches itself  through various linguistic forms and internal conceptual frameworks. The author’s presence in the text is often manifested through its original word structure essentially expressed in the common stylistic system of the work.  References to time and places in texts present  non-fiction character in a new light. The writer’s primary goal is not enriching the literary language, but ensuring the composition’s linguistic authenticity and individuality.   Flexibility of the genre is enhanced by intertextual manifestations. Lastly,  memoir-writing may have a therapeutic effect on the author.
