Abstract:

Introduction. The article explores the problematics of syntax construction of microtext and its rhyth-mic organization. It also discusses ways of accentuated expression of meaning in generating a text from the author’s side and ways, degrees, intensity and other features of its understanding by the readers.

Materials and methods. The study is conducted on the basis of the methods of general and particular methodology within the framework of logical-grammatical, structural-semantic, communicative and concep-tual paradigms. The article is built on the plights of classical linguistics and is based on the language univer-sals by A. Wezhbitskaya and the universal grammar of the living language by N. Chomsky. The toolkit is presented with conceptual and component analysis of the text and empirical research has been performed in the form of a survey among forty eight respondents.

Results. The results consist in the discovery of the author’s use of the technique of sensory-associative perception and a special rhythmic structure composition of the microtext.

Conclusions. It is concluded that the techniques used by the author are able to focus the reader’s atten-tion on the sensory-associative images associated with five human senses, localize nominative phrases for transmitting personally meaningful experience and meaning within the concept “Memory” and in the con-ceptual field “Love–Life–War–Memory–Sensation” and activate the functional status of the base word “Memory” in the rhythmic group of the microtext.
