Internal form of the text as a derivational phenomenon

The problems of this article fit for the course of the derivational textual criticism, the subject of the study is text derivational functioning. The problem of text derivational development as a component of a communicative situation is in focus of our attention. The main aspect of this declared approach is connected with the research of a text derivation problem in the direction from the text basis to its derivative (perspective approach). The subject of the article is determination of units, realizing derivational text potential and allowing to describe this process adequately. The derivational potential of the text is situated in its internal form. The mental and language essence having the propositional organization and being the text representative in unity of its formal and substantial parts is offered to be understood as the internal form of the text. Differently, the internal form of the text is considered as the curtailed text, the pretext, with a support on which the text in acts of speech activity "is developed" and predetermined in its final image as a whole thing. The internal form of the text is considered as a bilateral nature, having a propositional organization. The content of the internal form consists of the propositional meanings of linguistic consciousness , but the form is the ways of building contact between the semantic spheres of the propositional content and communicative perspective of the future text. The creation of the text is made on semantic lines, semantics and pragmatics, which in whole agrees with the semiotic nature of the language and language sign particularly. The derivational essence of the internal form of the text is shown in its ability to serve as a support (and a source) for derivational processes, providing continuity between "this" and "new" where the new is the content of intension being incentive for creation of a statement. We suggest to use the term derivational version of the text reflecting the fact of its formal and semantic "extension" in acts of communication and underlining the actual status of the internal form of the text, and for the description of an invariant of the derivational development of the text - the term derivational text which underlines the virtual status of the internal form. Features of a chained derivation of the text and a propositional description technique of derivational potential of the text are illustrated by example of a household dialogue. The article examines similar derivation of the text, where every subsequent text is motivated by the previous one.
