The internet-miniature and the poem in prose as speech genres: genre memory and stereotypization of speech structure

The purpose of the paper is to give the reader some information on the creativity in everyday speech activities of youth on the Russian-speaking Internet, on the relationship of the genres of classical Russian literature and network literature on the material of the poem in prose, one of the genres of classical Russian literature, and lyrical Internet-miniatures, a common form of speech genre creativity of young people on the Internet. The research is based on the hypothesis that between the prose poem and the Internet-miniatures there is a relationship of continuity arising from stereotypization of the speech structure of the genre. This hypothesis is based on the concept of "genre memory" proposed by M.M. Bakhtin regarding literary genres. In this paper, in order to further describe the complexity of the speech genre "Internet miniature" (as opposed to the model of the genre "prose poem"), we consider one aspect of the genre criterion "image of the author" expressed in the subjective organization of the text. This organization is a direct manifestation of the author of the text, which is the verbal expression of the author of both an artistic and non-artistic text. To characterize the subjective organization, first, the semantic core of the subject sphere is defined which manifests itself in the specific use of personal pronouns and, secondly, the forms of the narrative are compared. In the structure of the text, the author's concept is expressed primarily in its subjective organization. The proximity of the concept of the author in poems in prose and Internet-miniatures is shown in the subjective organization of texts. Both genres are characterized by a special form of contaminated narration (combining narrative from the 1st and 3rd persons), which is expressed in the texts through the multiplicity of referents of pronouns. However, at the level of the subjective organization, there are significant differences described in the paper. The common features of the two genres in terms of the author's concept are: the creative nature of speech producer, the author's selection of the lyrical subject of the narrative. The principal differences are in the communication (and creative) settings of the author and their "professionalism", which is expressed both in the subjective organization of narrative and in the stylistic features. The features of multiplicity of referents of pronouns, contamination of different narration methods in the small text, an attempt to select the original "I"-nomination, use of "you" in a generalized sense become stereotypes of the subjective organization of online miniatures, as authors use popular techniques to achieve lyric and philosophical (sometimes protrepic) forms of speech which were created by writers in the genre of prose poems.
