TRADITIONS AND FEATURES OF THE “COMMENT - TEXT” METATEXT (ON THE EXAMPLE OF DAGESTAN LITERATURE)

Abstract

Aim. The paper describes the formation and development of the linguistic tradition of making comments to publications with the help of linguistic expertise. Methodology. Within the framework of the textocentric paradigm, the commentary can be studied based on linguistic and extralinguistic factors, as well as on the material of texts commenting on the monuments of Dagestan literature. Results. We have revealed the dependence of the form and content of the commentary as a text on the specific historical reality, on those aesthetic requests that were put forward in a particular period of social life, and on the background knowledge of the addressee. Research implications. The results of the research contribute to the theory of commentary, intertextuality and metatext.
