THE EFFECT OF DEFEATED EXPECTANCY CREATED BY THE INTERRELATION OF MORPHEMIC REPETITION AND SYNTACTICAL PARALLELISM IN ENGLISH ARTISTIC PROSE
Interrelation of morphemic repetition and syntactical parallelism in English fiction is not infrequently accompanied by the phenomenon of defeated expectancy. The combination of twofold repetition – of those of morphemes and of syntactical structures – reciprocally enhance the rule and order they create. Unpredictable breach of the established rule leads to defeated expectancy on the part of the reader. This effect is never realized in full, since the unexpected changes enforced by the author do not radically affect or annihilate either morphemic repetition or syntactical parallelism.
Keywords: morphemic repetition, syntactical parallelism, the effect of defeated expectancy, indexicality of repetition, unpredictable breach of the established rule
