CHAPTER 2. STYLISTIC FUNCTIONS OF ALLUSION IN THE POETIC TEXT IN LEWIS CAROLLS ECCENTRIC TALE ALICES ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
.1 Allusion as a category of vertical context
context is a fragment of the text verbal background of the text element chosen for the analysis, a certain group of words, grammatical forms and constructions where the certain word of any other unit equal to it is used. Speaking about this notion we must differentiate horizontal and vertical context.context is the closer background of the word in sentence while vertical context is a large part of the text, where the meaning of the word can go under serious semantic transformations.Vinogradov states that the term vertical context can be understood as the background information, situational, subject historical and philosophical information that the text contains. The usual categories of vertical context are allusions, symbols, idioms etc. Vertical context may contain the hidden information which is independent from the authors intentions. But on the other hand, vertical context may be totally controlled by the sender of the message who creates the text in such a way that it contains a hint to some literary, lingual, social fact. Allusions are the major distinctive device of realization of vertical context. [21, pp.41-42]Hubbenet characterizes vertical context as [22, pp.7-8] the historical and philological context of a poetic text and its parts. And literal allusion is its major element [24, p.25].us proceed to the examples from Lewis Carolls tale Alices Adventures in Wonderland to understand the role of allusion in vertical context and analyze the interrelation between the given poetic text and source texts and information (events, characters) executed through the allusive process.
