THE TITLE IN ITS RELATION TO LITERARY AND LINGUO-PSYCOLOGICAL TENSE

Abstract

The article deals with the titles of literary masterpieces first viewed from the position of refraction of its both tenses: the literary tense in its interconnection of types (subject tense, beforesubject tense, oversubject tense, supersubject tense and parallel tense), and the linguo-psychological tense in its 3 tense zones (proper tense zone, pseudo-tense zone and anti-tense zone). The kind of interpretation of a title (independently of text) reveals its achronic nature when the title is considered as a structural component of a text but excluded from the scope of literary and linguo-psychological tense. However the title is affected by its refraction in linguo-psychological tense zones and the symbiosis of the title itself and the literary tense. Thus the title loses its achronic nature and acquires the character of the panchronic text unit due to the fact that the title is decoded by means of speech moment that may coincide with the scene described in a literary work or come before it, or come after it.
