MAIN LINGUISTIC APPROACHES TO THE INVESTIGATION OF FOREGROUNDING
Keywords:
actualization, foregrounding, linguistic deviation, literary normAbstract
Foregrounding denotes a linguistic phenomenon which allows a text to stand out against the backdrop of the text that conforms with the linguistic norms. The article sheds the light on its origin, the tendency of investigations of the theory of foregrounding as well as a wide range of scientific approaches deployed in an attempt to investigate the notion “foregrounding” and enlarges on what part it plays in generating meaning in a text. In the course of the research the following conclusions were drawn: a text that comprise foregrounded language means stimulates mental work and is perceived to be intricate and thought-provoking by a reader. Foregrounding gives a rise to the creation of a special perception of the object, the creation of a ‘vision’ of it, and not ‘recognition’”. Foregrounding in a language is normally realized through the usage of stylistic devices as well as consistent and systematic nature of actualization. It enables a writer to fulfill writer’s specific aims and motivations through the text.
