Stylistic semasiology

Dialogue where personages express their minds in the form of uttered speech occupies a very important place. It is a form of the personage's self-characterisation while discussing other people and actions.
Interior speech of the personage allows the readers to peep into the inner world of the character, to observe his ideas and views in the making (interior monologue). Often the author portrays disjointed purely associative manner of minking — the so-called stream-of-consciousness technique which is es­pecially popular with representatives of modernism.
Language means employed in the dialogue and interior speech differ from the author's narrative and in their unity and combination they constitute the personage's speech characteristic which is indispensable in the creation of his image in the novel.
Indirect speech — when the actual words of a character pass through the author's mouth in the course of his narrative and in the process undergo cer­tain changes differing little from the rest of the author's narrative:
e.g. "Move on!" → He asked the crowd to disperse. '
Hence indirect speech may fail to reproduce the actual emotional colouring of the utterance. It is probably due to this fact that represented speech came into being.
Represented (Reported) Speech serves to show either the mental reproduction of a once uttered remark (uttered represented speech e.g.1) or the character's thinking (inner or unuttered represented speech e.g.2). The letter is close to the personage's interior speech in essence, but differs from it in form: it is rendered in the third person singular and may have the author's qualitative words, while the interion speech is materialised through the first-person pronouns:
e.g. l. "Could he bring a reference from where he. now was? He could " (Th. Dreiser).
2. "Butler sorry that he has called his youngest a baggage; but these children- God bless his soul — were a great annoyance. Why, in the name of all saints, wasn't this house good enough for them?" (Th. Dreiser).
The tense-forms are shifted to the past, the third person pronouns replace the first and the second.

3.5 The connection between parts of the sentence

There are two polar types of syntactic connection in the sen­tence: subject-predicate relation and secondary relation, i.e. rela­tions between secondary parts of a sentence. The subject-predicate relation serves to convey a piece of information, to inform the hearer about something. The secondary parts of the sentence make, together with their head-words, mere word-combinations, i.e. composite denominations, functionally equivalent to simple words.
Between the two polar types of syntactical connection there ex­ists an intermediate type— a semi-predicative connection which occurs when a secondary part of the sentence becomes «detached».
