Abstract

To study the language of artistic work always attracted a special attention in
Georgia and even outside of Georgia. Researchers talk about different approaches
when they discuss the language of poetry from one hand and the language of
prose from the other hand.
We discussed the issue of language of artistic works and opinions according
to scientific works and linguistic encyclopedias in Georgian, Russian and English
languages.
In the conclusion about this issue, we can say that the language of artistic
work is characterized as the system of those language means and rules which are
different in every epoch though they give equal opportunity to create the world
imagined in feature literature.
The article is very important because the term “linguistic value” is given in
its recent or broad meaning: linguistics should study the esthetic function of the
language as an element of literature and as a composite structure of a fiction. We
will consider the interrelation of dialect and the language of modern Georgian
prose with a new approach of linguistic analysis on the example of novels by
Revaz Mishveladze, Temur Chkuaseli and Zelimkhan Maghradze. On the basis
of writers' works we single out the following basic functions of dialecticism:
individualization of characters’ speech; expressing a local colour and esthetic
function of dialecticism. The writer should envisage that his work will be read
by the representatives of different dialects and if his work will be loaded by
less used dialect elements maybe it will be difficult to understand it.
The usage of such language units may be justified with two conditions: 1.
When there is no equivalent in the literary language 2. When dialecticism is
predominant from the stylistic viewpoint. That’s why the second principle of using dialecticism in the fiction is its feasibility and stylistic conditioning. The
second stage of such analysis is the comparison with authentic texts and revealing
the peculiarities of the dialect used by a writer. The article discuses the texttocentral,
antropocentral and cognitive approaches. Accordingly, corresponding
conclusions towards each of them have been made. Different methods, such as:
observation, studying material and analysis are used in the article.
