Abstract

The theory of text worlds is one of the most prominent and rapidly developing research fields in modern cognitive linguistics. Nowadays nearly all newly postulated theories dealing with the literary text, literary concepts or concept sphere of a literary text try to deploy their ideas along with the text worlds theory. The theory of text attractors is not an exception. The study examines the concept of cognitive text attractors within the framework of the theory of text worlds, emphasizing the importance of the roles of the reader and the recipient in the process of creating a text world. The idea of different perceptions of various text attractors by readers and recipients in the process of creating a text world is expressed. The author analyses the existing classification of text cognitive attractors and broadens it with new types of text cognitive attractors identified in literary text under study: the text olfactory cognitive attractors and the text thematic cognitive attractors. With the help of contexts from a literary text, it is substantiated that, being subjected to the genre features of a literary text constructing, any type of cognitive text attractor can be thematically conditioned.
