Frame-Scenario in the Representation of Literary Fiction: Linguocultural Insights

Summary/Abstract: The role of the frame-scenario as a cognitive structure within the artistic image, a key element of literary fiction, was studied. By examining Agatha Christie’s novel “A Pocket Full of Rye”, an example of detective discourse, the linguocultural and pragmatic features of the frame-scenario “investigation” were identified. The mechanisms of semiosis of linguistic and aesthetic signs were described, revealing how they deconstruct and transform frames and scenarios typical of a given linguoculture to create literary fiction in the textual and discursive space. The methods used include observation, modeling, cognitive-semantic and linguo-cultural analysis, and philological interpretation. It was demonstrated that frame-scenarios of detective discourse function within the contexts of both subject-referent and procedural situations. However, in “A Pocket Full of Rye”, A. Christie deviates from the procedural context by describing the crime with irony, as well as by gradually introducing the characters falling under suspicion of committing the crime. Unlike frames and scenarios as two cognitive structures within a particular linguoculture characterized by the certainty and stereotypy of properties and actions, the frame-scenario in literary discourse is marked by constant deconstruction, transformation of the events expected by the reader, thereby constituting the basis of the semiosis of literary fiction.
