Bases of Disintegration Processes Allocation in Syntax

The article presents one of the possible options for a comprehensive analysis of disintegrating syntactic processes from the standpoint of a structural and semantic approach. This work continues the research of syntactic processes of disintegration laid down in the works of A. A. Chuvakin and O. V. Maryina. The aim of the study was to develop the basis for distinguishing disintegrating syntactic processes. To achieve this aim, observation, comparison, interpretation in the study of syntactic processes, and the method of contextual analysis in describing the interaction of components of syntactic processes were used. The research material was the texts of representatives of modern Russian-language Kazakh prose: G. Belger, B. Kairbekov, B. Kanapyanov, V. Minaev, A. Omar, 0. Suleymenov, U. Tazhikenova, created in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, from which the units of analysis were selected by the method of continuous sampling. Disintegration as a syntactic process is the process of separating components of syntactic processes or syntactic processes themselves. The article examines the following disintegration processes: paragraph division, insertion, parceling, and syntactic implication. The author has developed the following grounds for classifying the syntactic process as a disintegrative one: 1. Violation of structural and semantic unity, which is comprehensively implemented in each disintegration process: there is a modification of structural characteristics against the background of semantic duplicity and violation of cause-and-effect relationships, which is associated with the features of a particular disintegration process. 2. Absence of formal indicators of syntactic relations between components of the process/syntactic processes indicates rupture of the semantic and structural links between the components of the process leading to independence and autonomous existence of the components of the syntactic process. 3. Use of font (non-linguistic) markers: font highlighting, italics, author's selection, underscores, numbering, ellipsis, exclamation and question marks, dashes, brackets. The analysis of the use of font markers has shown that the separation of components of the syntactic process is enhanced (at the visual, structural and semantic levels) if the semantic selection marker and/or the text structure marker are used together with the non-linguistic marker of a particular process. In the course of the study, the author has identified the grounds that, separately from each other or in interaction with each other, allow attributing the syntactic process to a disintegrative one: violation of structural and semantic unity, lack of formal indicators, and presence of font (non-linguistic) markers. In the author's opinion, the developed grounds are applicable to the description of disintegration processes in literary texts and texts of a different orientation.
