Abstract

We can say that a literary text is rich in various means of expression, with the help of which the author builds images and concepts of what is being discussed in a work of art. The literary text has a high degree of emotionality. The author cannot only convey his own emotions, but also evoke them in readers. Artistic texts are also characterized by integrity. This means that the individual categories of the text are interconnected, they form an integral structure. In addition, a literary text should always have the main idea of the author. A literary text always has an addressee and carries specific information. It also plays an important role in the cultural context.
