Representation of the textual category of sociologicity in the initial and final paragraphs of an English-language novel of the twentieth century

aim: to analyze and systematize the manifestations of the textual category of sociologicity in the initial and final paragraphs of an English-language novel of the twentieth century. The key methods were semantic and stylistic analysis of the text, which consists in determining the meanings and stylistic coloring of the studied components and cultural analysis of extralinguistic factors. Methods of systematization and classification were also used. The random sampling method is used to increase the objectivity of the study (100 units are allocated with its help). The analysis showed that the textual category of sociologicity is significantly and widely represented in the initial paragraphs and less represented in the final ones. Research implications lie in clarifying the composition of the concept of the category of sociologicity, while the practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the conclusions obtained in this study within the framework of courses in textual linguistics and linguoculturology.
