EXPRESSION OF EMOTIVITY IN A CREOLIZED TEXT (BASED ON THE MATERIAL FROM THE SITUATIONAL COMEDY “THE YOUNG SHELDON”)

Abstract. The emotionality of expression in a creolized text depends on several factors: chronotope, genre, specifics of acting, etc. To analyze the text properly, it is necessary to know enough input data, which was mentioned above. To analyze the situational comedy “Young Sheldon”, various methods of linguistic science were used: analysis, observation, identification of concepts. The objective of this work is directly related to the “unpacking” of the key characteristics of the polycode text for the expression of emotivity. The peculiarity of this work is the identification of gender, genre, structural features that affect perception. The conclusion, which is the key one, relates to the question of interpretation, from the point of view of denying the idea of the “death of the author”, since the team of creators of the situational comedy almost deprives the viewer of the possibility of interpreting the material due to the unambiguity of events.

Keywords: creolized text, emotivity, situational comedy, verbality, nonverbality
