Author's Linguistic Consciousness in Literary Text of Postmodern (based on the material of A. Bitov's novel "Pushkin House")

The article is devoted to the consideration of the linguistic representation of the author's linguistic consciousness in a literary text of the postmodern era. The purpose of the article is to determine the communicative and pragmatic specifics of the functioning of the author’s linguistic consciousness in a postmodern literary text. The priority methods were pragmasemantic analysis and philological interpretation; the study also used the modeling method. The main lexical marker of the dialogical nature of the author’s linguistic consciousness in A. Bitov’s novel is the pronoun we, leveling the distinction between the author’s and the reader’s experience; the author also uses grammatical forms of the 1st person plural. verbs. In A. Bitov’s novel the author’s linguistic consciousness is individualized in the same way as the reader’s consciousness, which is determined by the author’s intention and the dialogical nature of consciousness as a whole and dictates both the delimitation of the reader from the author and the synthesis of the author’s
and reader’s linguistic consciousness. The deliberate separation of the author from the reader occurs in a literary text when the author presents the creation of the literary text itself as a craft, as a set of specific professional techniques, turning, first of all, to precedent texts and precedent statements.
