SILENCE AS AN EXTRALINGUAL COMPONENT IN THE DRAMATIC TEXT OF BUKOVINIAN WRITERS/ МОВЧАННЯ ЯК ЕКСТРАЛІНГВАЛЬНИЙ КОПОНЕНТ У ДРАМАТИЧНОМУ ТЕКСТІ БУКОВИНСЬКИХ ПИСЬМЕННИКІВ

The research is devoted to the interaction of verbal and non-verbal means of communication in the dramatic text. In the scientific research the expansion of the semantic space of terms is taken into account. It helped to understand the theory and enabled to use the idea of communication. Taking into account the specificity of dramatic text (DT) – it’s clearly distinguished author's speech and speech of characters. DT is defined as a two-level entity, which is the unity of verbal (character speech) and non-verbal commu- nication (author’s communication); a complex semiotic unit, the po- lyphony of which forms author's speech. The novelty of scientific research is that the notion of implication for the first time were intro- duced to the terminology apparatus of the DT, which is understood by the minimal structural and semantic unity of verbal and non-verbal components (remarks and replicas) that are viewed as single visual, cognitive and communicative, provide a comprehensive pragmatic influence on the addressee. The relevance of scientific research is determined by the need to analyze extralinguistic implicatures with remarks on the desig- nation of silence and their linguistic means in the dramatic texts of Bukovinian writers (Yu. Fedkovich, S. Vorobkevich, S. Yarychevsky, I. Sinyuk). Communicatively meaningful silence has a certain emotion- al color and is a means of communication that gives a variety of com- municative meanings of a semantically-pragmatic nature. The following methods and techniques of linguistic analy- sis are used to achieve the goal and task: the system-functional analy- sis, the method of discursive analysis, the contextual-interpretive meth- od, the method of stylistic analysis, the conversion analysis. Conclusions. Silence is a full-fledged extralinguistic compo- nent of the implicature in dramatic text. Communicatively meaningful silence has a certain emotional color and is a means of communication that conditions a variety of communicative meanings of a semantically- pragmatic nature. The prospect of the study involves a systematic anal- ysis of the implicatures, taking into account the universal, ethnospecific and individual markers of the dramatic text of the Bukovinian writers.
