Journal Title: Мова - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 21
Abstract
The role of title in interpretation of fiction text is discussed in this paper. Polysemy of the «strong position» of the text — the title — is analysed in Tatiyana Tolstaya’s story «Light Worlds». Semantic dominant reveals not only the nominative, informative, predictive, but intriguing and metaphorical functions. «Double code» is considered as a method of communication strategies. The possibility of different interpretations of the text has been offered. At the entrance to the text the reader perceives the title as the name of the text, that is, in its nominative function, as well as his informative and prospective (predictive) features. The title is enriched with additional sense and close connotations. The reader develops a «double coding». Gradually it becomes clear symbolic, metaphorical title. At the exit the reader has all the complex semantic and aesthetic information from the text, the meaning of the title is realized. Every act of reading represents a complex transaction between the competence of the reader and the type of competence that this text postulates.
