On semantic and stylistic realization of city image in city text of local history character (theme ''Dostoevsky in Kuznetsk'' in city newspaper ''Kuznetsky Rabochy'')

Local history and culture is one of the most important components of the cultural space. Not only special investigations, but also regional media discourse has local historical direction. The graphic example of it is the oldest newspaper of Novokuznetsk - ''Kuznetsky Rabochy''. Due to the image created on the city newspaper's pages we can see the city in the unity of the past, present and future, not only as a physical space, but also as a spiritual one. Local historical materials of ''Kuznetsky Rabochy'' reproduce a few key topics; of course, there is a theme ''Dostoevsky in Kuznetsk'' among them. The image of the city is created by appeals and different onyms. Regulative strength of proper names is predetermined by their graphical aspect: words written with a capital initial letter are more noticeable to the reader than the lowercase ones. Journalists actively use the communicative aspect of proper names. On the stage of perception onyms help to find their own reader who understands the importance of a designated reference to a referent. On stages of understanding and interpretation proper names enter the semantic structure of a text; it is shown by their inclusion in emotionally and expressively saturated contexts and in semantic lexical paradigms. The device of parallel representation (first of all, of the past and present of the city) is characteristic for realization of the image of the city in the city newspaper. Sometimes the representation is supplemented with the third plan - of hypothetical future, in correspondence with the importance of prospectivity in the temporal organization of a text for the public. A special occasion is parallel representation of the real and imaginary, when journalists break myths townspeople have . Emotional, expressive and conceptual load of contexts that create the image of the city is underlined by use of such regulative means as tropes and stylistic figures, valuation vocabulary, words-intensives, particles, explanatory constructions. Regulative means perform the functions of intensification, specification, assessment and in this way ensure the feedback from the reader. The semantic and stylistic features of newspaper materials reproduce the thought about Dostoevsky's stay in Kuznetsk as about the city's touch to the high, about the possibility to enrich the spiritual space; this possibility, in the opinion of the city newspaper authors, is founded on memory. In the view of ''Kuznetsky Rabochy'' journalists seeking a worthy future for the city means researching its native history, respecting memory about its especially important pages, which the love story of the great writer and M.D. Isaeva refers to.
