COMMUNICATIVE-COGNITIVE POTENTIAL OF SPECIFIC TEXT ELEMENTS IN RUSSIAN ABSURD DRAMA OF LATE 20TH CENTURY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the identifi cation of
communicative and cognitive potential of specifi c text elements
in the Russian absurd drama of the twentieth century,
involved in the formation of the absurd: the fragmentary repetition,
insert elements, intertextual inclusions, metatext elements,
fragments, describing the involvement of the audience
in the action on stage. The study suggests that in the process
of creating such texts the author implements a specifi c communicative
speech strategy, using for that appropriate tactics.
Consequently, communicative and cognitive potential of the
considered text elements is signifi cant and is effectively used
in the authors discursive practice
