Text in metatext (on the material of small form genres)
Abstract
The article investigates different types and methods of text metadescription, so-called self characterised texts. Self characteristics (metadescription) of the text and the genre it presents may be in the text itself, as well as in the adjacent description. The former method is inherent to small genres, such as aphorism, proverb, fable, fairy tale, anecdote, etc.; the latter method is applied mainly to more expanded texts in the form of introductions, comments, and afterwords. The article aims to create a matrix of different kinds/methods of verbal self characteristics of texts of various genres, concentrated in metatext. The process of self-realization of the genre that a text features have been studied in the paper. These kinds of self characteristics genre don not make a comprehensive list; moreover, there can be a metatext of a different form, wherein the genre self characteristics is concentrated.
