Study Notes

Analytical Reading

  • Analytical reading is a language study focusing on verbal art theory and practice
  • It improves readers' communication skills, broadens perspectives, and enhances knowledge
  • It allows for critical analysis of fiction, leading to greater appreciation of literature
  • Aims to help readers understand the literary work, author's intentions and outlook, and author's attitude toward depicted events and characters.
  • It explores how linguistic devices (graphical, phonetic, lexical, grammatical) are used to convey the author's purpose, and examines the educational and aesthetic value of the work.

Literary Work

  • A literary work is a structured fragment of objective reality, interpreted through the author's perspective
  • It aims to understand and interpret the world through a re-creation of reality in the form of images
  • Represents a life situation, expressed through an imagined world by the author based on their absorption from objective reality
  • Involves a creator (author) and a receiver (reader), creating a communication process.
  • The author's attitude in a work isn't necessarily directly perceived by the reader.
  • Includes two planes of understanding: meaning (plot, portrayal of reality) and sense (author's implied message)

Language as the Medium of Literature

  • Verbal communication is possible because words can denote concrete things and concepts.
  • Words have denotative meanings (concrete meanings) and connotative meanings (suggested feelings and ideas)
  • Denotative meaning is the dictionary definition, whereas connotation goes beyond the dictionary definition
  • Emotive component in words relates to feelings and attitudes, while stylistic reference connects words to specific spheres of society.
  • Words can hold stylistic reference, indicating context or social sphere.
  • Neutral, literary, literary-colloquial, and literary-bookish styles exist as subdivisions in marked words.

Literary Text as Poetic Structure

  • A literary text is constructed from words forming phrases, sentences, and larger sections
  • It has a verbal layer (words) and a supraverbal layer (meaning, plot, etc. that emerge from words)
  • These layers work together to create a complete poetic structure, conveying the author's complete message.
  • Poetic structure includes various components such as narrative voice, theme, idea, and characterization.

Components of Poetic Structure

  • Literary image is the way a world is represented in literature. It involves macro (the work itself) and micro (words) elements.
  • Characterization: The way characters are represented in literature. Direct (explicitly stated) and indirect (through actions) characterization are used.
  • Theme and Idea: The central topic and underlying message of a literary work.
  • Plot: The sequence of events in a literary narrative. Internal and external conflicts exist in a story.
  • Composition: How plot elements are structured and arranged. Different narrative structures are used in writing.
