War – Writer – Text: Discursive Features (on the Material of Oksana Zabuzhko's Essays)
(2023) Kuranova, Svitlana
The article is dedicated to a complex analysis of the "war texts". Discursive features of the triad "war – author – text" are proposed to be researched through the prism of the holistic linguistic act of communication. Discourse analysis of "war texts" is carried out on the material of works of Oksana Zabuzhko, namely, the collection of essays "And Again I Crawl into the Tank" and "The Longest Journey". The way the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war is understood and interpreted in the public intellectual discourse is investigated. Such research gives a possibility to acquire data on how the author presents her/his own activity-in-theworld and transfers her/his attitude to the events described. It is reiterated that the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war can be researched within the boundaries of development of the discourse portrait of language personality, as the author’s texts are the information tracks of public discourse. Models of "war texts" of Oksana Zabuzhko are characterized with the help of three types of meaning: experiential (thematic sphere of communication), interpersonal (meaning of social roles), and textual (characterizes the channel of communication). The sense structure of the corresponding respective texts was scrutinized. That helped to acquire new data about their semiotic models.
