How is inversion used in the literature? Not everyone knows the answer to such a question. The modern Russian language, in its richness and diversity, uses various expressive techniques that the science of language has transformed into various terms. You may come across such terms of literature as anaphora (repetition of a word at the beginning of a phrase), antithesis (sharp contrast of images, sharp contrast), hyperbole (exaggeration). Talk about inversion.
Terms of literature, such as "inversion", have Latin roots (from Latin. Inversia - rearrangement or inversion). But the question about what is inversion is easier and more willing for the British to answer, because in English, using inversion, interrogative sentences are created.
Language inversion
An inversion in a language means that the direct word order in a sentence has been replaced by the reverse. In Russian, in the sentence, when the subject is first, then the predicate and then the secondary members of the sentence, the direct word order is used. This word order is used for scientific literature, as it preserves the neutral coloring of the entire narrative. In order to give an emotional coloring to the content of a speech or work, inversion is applied. In a language, especially spoken, an inversion is created by interchanging the subject and predicate in places or by transferring to the beginning of the sentence the secondary members of the sentence.
Inversion in the literature
In works of art , inversion is often used. In the literature, for example, the minor member of the sentence is placed at the center of the sentence, where logical stress falls on it , which helps the reader to pay attention to small details that can play a decisive role in the work. In the proposal of D. Granin: “I do not believe in the good thoughts of the current new Russians,” the predicate is placed ahead of the subject, the logical emphasis is thereby transferred to the predicate. The author emphasized his distrust of the intentions of the new class. In order to remember all the information related to the object, it must be moved to the end of the sentence. We read at M. Bulgakov: "Curious people looked into the large restroom from the corridor, where signal bells were already popping." All additions were made at the beginning of the proposal in order to focus our attention on the environment.
Of particular weight is the inversion in literature when we speak of poetry. We can say that inversion in literature is specially invented for poetry. Even in the most common
uncommon sentence, when you rearrange the subject and predicate in places, you can achieve an effect in which everyone can say that he is reading poetry. In the sentences: “waves run” (direct order), and “waves run” (inversion) - “poetic” - the second sentence. A striking
example of the inversion in poetry is the lines of I.S. Nikitina:
Clear morning. It blows softly
Warm breeze.
or:
Soon slopes will cover light grass
And the December storms, like wolves, lie down.
V.A. Lugovskoy
In verses, the need to use inversion is determined by the size and rhythm of the poetic line. The use of inversion creates a special unique pattern of poetic design.
At Pushkin we read:
Shine on the skinny lantern
The blind arches of the illumination
They are coming ...
Inversion gives the passage a mood of tension and mystery.
Using Inversion in Life
The use of inversion in everyday life is not always justified and can be a difficulty in understanding. If the text used for domestic needs is replete with sentences in which inversion is applied , this will impede its understanding.
