Abstract
The given research focuses on defining the role of text building component parts in the construal of plot and emotional states of the main characters of a literary work. The material of the research is presented by a story “Short affair” by I. A. Bunin. The applied method of cognitive and discursive analysis determines that the colour sensory units combined with other units of sensory perception form certain multimodal clusters thus becoming a way of describing changes in the mood of the characters via natural phenomena. As a result, the text building function of units of sensory perception predetermines the plot construal based on several lines: the characters’ emotions and feelings, changes of natural cycles, alignment of the characters’ inner state with natural phenomena.
