What is text composition

The composition is the organization and structural orderliness of the text which reflects arrangement, a ratio and interrelation of its parts serving for the fullest embodiment of a plan of the author.

Generally the concept of composition is applied to characteristic of art texts. It is caused by method, outlook, concrete and esthetic, including genre tasks which were set by the author. In most cases, elements of composition of the work are made by an exposition, a tie, action development, the culmination and an outcome. The art ensemble can consist not only of one novel, the story, the poem, but of the whole cycle, group of the poetic or prosaic works united by the general hero, uniform problems, the ideas or the scene of action ("The Belkin Tales" by A.S. Pushkin, "Evenings on the farm near Dykanka" of N.V. Gogol). Lingvostilistika puts interrelation of dynamic and static aspects of the work, process of partition of the text on concrete blocks (paragraphs, chapters), semantic aspect of the organization of the text in the concept "composition". Therefore there are two types of plans of composite creation of the work: logiko-composite and own and composite. The first includes structural and semantic and structural and logical aspects, and the second – composite and substantial and formal and composite. The composition of the text is inherent not only to works of art, but also inartistic too, and is understood as the sequence of three main parts: introductions, body and conclusion. The introduction represents introduction to a subject, contents of the text, statement of a problem, material representation. Sometimes in introduction the psychological aims (journalism, popular scientific genres) for taking by reader's attention, establishments of contact with it are pursued. In the main part the subject reveals, the main data are reported, objectives are solved. Here the ratio of private and general questions, concrete examples and abstract concepts is important. In a body the author states the main material, subjects it to assessment, analyzes others judgments, offers the understanding of a subject. The result told is summed up of everything in the conclusion where conclusions are formulated, new problems and tasks are outlined.
