THE SOURCES OF PRECEDENTIALITY IN DETECTIVE DISCOURSE

Abstract
The article takes cognitive approach to precedent phenomena studies. The sources of precedentiality in detective discourse are Greek and Roman mythology, the Bible, folklore texts, Shakespeare’s texts and classical European literature. In the analyzed texts universal-precedent and national-precedent phenomena of all the types are presented. Precedent names actualize precedent situations or act as namessymbols, precedent utterances appeal to precedent texts as reference standards. The analyzed material lets us deduce that incorporating Shakespearean, biblical and mythological topics, characters and images into detective texts is determined by authors’ intention to improve the status of their works as well as by universality of these topics and their criminal nature. Analyzing the sources of precedentiality within the cognitive approach may be of interest for studying transformations that take place within the genres based on the system-forming concepts.
