PARADOXES OF NEGATION IN AUTHOR’S DISCOURSE

With her views based on the analysis of the language experiment of the paradoxalist writers (Marina Tsvetayeva, Joseph Brodsky), the researcher argues in favour of a point that the «author's discourse», while granting the access to a subject’s personal code, does not only lie within a linguist competence, but also becomes a field of study for a psychoanalyst. The personalistic approach towards the subject provides an opportunity of interpreting the phenomenon of the “discourse” as a dialogue of two introspective minds. In the modern linguistics, the demand for the term “discourse” is a symptom of the intensified integration of the humanitarian fields of knowledge. The word “discourse” itself, while being declared a term of studies referred to the human spirituality (opposite to the word 'text'), plays a part of a kind of reflexeme.This term directs the philologist’s attention towards the individual strategies of argumentation and reveals the ways of studying the specific features characteristic of the Russian way of reasoning.
