INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES AS A MARKER OF THE REALIZATION OF EMOTIVENESS IN THE LANGUAGE CREATION OF MARIA MATIOS

Abstract

The article analyzes the category of emotiveness as a conscious feature of speech, which determines the use of special language tools that purposefully express human emotionality to influence the addressee. Syntactic units (interrogative sentences) are singled out from among language tools of different levels as dominant markers of conveying emotions and realizing the category of emotionality. The purpose of the article is to determine the functional role of interrogative sentences, which serve as an effective means of conveying the speaker's emotional reaction to something seen, heard, or said, based on the rich illustrative material of the Bukovyna writer Maria Mathios. The means of language representation of emotional concepts in the prose of Maria Matios are also systematized; emotional and evaluative registers aimed at embodying the communicative intentions of emotiveness, a linguistic category that is closely related to the individuality of the speaker, the linguistic personality of the author of the artistic text, are singled out; interrogative statements are characterized, which express the mental experiences, excitement and feelings of the speaker in their connection with the functional role of the character in the novel; the role of interrogative sentences and disjunctive questions is outlined, which are characterized by the expressive function of influencing the recipient by expanding the limits (ranges) of expressing a certain feature or feeling, emotional state. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a scientific study of the language creation of the Bukovyna writer Maria Mathios, in particular, the introduction of the novel «Beech Land» into the common discourse and the identification of its similar and different emotional registers in comparison with previous works. The novelty of the study is that the interrogative sentence is a functional method of conveying and manifesting registers of emotional load in the spectrum from positive (joy, affection, surprise) to negative (grief, hatred, reproach, sadness, despair, anxiety) in the texts of Maria Mathios. It was analyzed for the first time. As a result of the research, we conclude that in terms of the expression and transmission of human emotions and feelings, interrogative sentences can more accurately and deeply express a diverse emotional spectrum.
