According to this model R. Jackobson distinguishes the six constitutive factors of any speech event: “The Adresser sends a message to the Adresseee. To be operative the message requires a Context referred to, seizable by the adressee, and either verbal or capable of being verbalized; a Code fully, or at least partially, common to the partners (or in other words, to the encoder and decoder of the message); and finally, a Contact, a physical channel and psychological connection between the partners, enabling both of them to enter and stay in communication” .
In applying this model to the belles-lettres text we should keep in mind that this text type is a specific form of communication characterized by its own peculiar features:
• the language o f the fictional text is not only a means of communication, but also an expression of aesthetic information and conceptual content;
• the fictional text reflects an imaginary world from the positions of the author’s aesthetic ideals, his personal evaluation of things and phenomena;
• there are two types of the addresser and addressee in the fictional text: 1) writer - reader; 2) personage - personage.
All this is indicative of a complex of implicit relationships between the author and the reader, and a multifold communicative structure of the literary text.
The most crucial feature of communicative stylistics is its interdisciplinary character. On the one hand, since text is a sequence of verbal signs, communicative stylistics is closely interlinked with all the aspects of the language system: phonetics, morphology, lexicology, phraseology, syntax. On the other hand, it has multifarious links with such disciplines as communicative linguistics, linguopragmatics, text linguistics, sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, cognitive linguistics, theory of literature.
Under the influence of adjacent sciences the domain of communicative stylistics has been considerably enriched by new ideas, notions and methods of analysis. At the same time communicative stylistics has its own aims and tasks conditioned by both communicative and stylistic approaches to the literary text.
Communicative stylistics regards a literary text as a form of communication, as a dialogue between the writer and the reader, as a process of comprehending the “author’s world” via the “text world” and the “reader’s personal world”.
