CUTTING- EDGE SCIENCE

apparatus of literary terms has its own phraseology, aphorisms, proverbs and vocabulary.
"Interference in private life, methods of tabloid journalism", "screaming headline" (124,
126). The political apparatus is a field of struggle. It is a dynamic language and, above all,
a semantic space in which social meanings are produced and tested. "Harmony spoke for
the public", "it is a movement of the eyes, a tireless search for the listeners" (22, 23).
Musical terms are mainly represented only by specific vocabulary. "...And in the same
rhythm returned ten descending notes of ritardando, the English horn, and in counterpoint
with it, softly, ascending motive of cellos, a mirror image" (14-15).
The application of literary terms used here is simple and clear but conveys complex
emotions and situations with a deft skill. Paragraphs are built on the sturdy foundations
of well crafted sentences, each adding some hue to the overall picture. Arguments are
built inexorably towards their natural conclusion in an entertaining and engaging manner.
A good example of this technique is phrase 'Here was a rare sight below the waves, of
a man's privacy and turmoil, of his dignity upended by the overpowering necessity of
pure fantasy, pure thought, by the irreducible human element-mind" (23)' The journey
between these word compositions is a skilful and interesting progression. McEwan makes
his words work hard for their place in his novel. Each is chosen carefully and barely an
unnecessary word is included.
Thus, words that denote special concepts, functioning in the speech of non-specialists,
within the framework of unscientific speech, lose the specific features of terms and
acquire the properties of commonly used words.
The specificity of the terms of literary studies is the aesthetic and evaluation information
contained in them. The development of their meaning is in no small part due to
ideology, so the diachronic aspect in the study of terms of literary criticism is not an
auxiliary means, but an essential condition for obtaining complete information about
the meaning of the term literary criticism.
