Abstract

The article applies the theory of dicteme to the analysis of literary imaginative texts. Its aim is to show the conceptualizing function of the dicteme. The relevance of this study is determined by the necessity to understand the mechanism of meaning formation. This process is schematically represented through a proposition in which a topic is predicated to its interpretation by the author. The research underlines the inseparable connection of the topic of a work of art and its concept. Concept, in its turn, is treated as a binary unit comprising both ideological and aesthetic characteristics or, in other words, conceptual and aesthetic information. The aesthetic information correlates the imaginative text with a certain literary direction, style, genre and the individual style of the author of the work. The ideas advocated by the authors are confirmed by examples from imaginative literature both Russian and foreign. The authors come to the conclusion that in imaginative literature there are no topics without concepts and ways of their representation, including stylistic shaping, at all the levels of text.
