Abstract
Aim. We examine the role of sentences of desirability (optative) in the language of drama as one of the means of speech characterization of characters, and identify their expressive possibilities in the space of a dramatic text.
Methodology. The paper considers the main features of the functioning of sentences of desirability (optative) in the speech of the characters of A. N. Ostrovsky’s dramatic work; multi-level means in volved in the creation of an artistic image are identified and analyzed. Use is made of the methods of observation, generalization, and interpretation of the results, as well as of discursive analysis.
Results. We determined the role of sentences of desirability as a means of speech characteristics of the heroes of the play. Using the text material, which has not previously been subjected to such an analysis, we systematized the means of the category of optativity, with the help of which a mechanism is realized for creating artistic imagery and expressiveness in the idiostyle of A. N. Ostrovsky.
Research implications. The results of the research expand and complement the ideas about the expressive possibilities that optative sentences are promising for their research on the material of dramatic texts
