Abstract
The role of parentheses in A. Cherchesov novel “The Wreath on the Grave of the Wind” is raised in the article. The purpose of the study is to identify the types of insert structures and determine the features of their functioning in the text of the novel. Various factors that determine the nature of parenthesis are considered. It is shown that the author uses parenthesis to deeply reveal the inner world of the characters, the motives for their actions, to emphasize the multi-vector relations of people in the world around. It is revealed that in the novel the parenthesis is represented by syntactic units of different sizes, from a homogeneous member of a sentence to a super-phrasal unity, and is framed by brackets and double-sided dashes. The authors come to the conclusion that the parenthesis is a source of additional information, it allows interpreting the text based not only on the idea of the external events of the novel, but also on the analysis of the thoughts of the author and the characters presented in the parenthetic constructions of the text. It has been established that parentheses in the speech of female characters are more significant in volume and more emotional than parenthetic constructions representing the thoughts of male characters. It is proved that parenthetic constructions perform the functions of clarifying, explaining, detailing, conveying the psycho-emotional state of the characters or the narrator, demonstrating the author’s attitude to what is being stated.
