Abstract

This article attempts to analyze foreword as a specific text type by considering problems of its definition, emphasizing its distinctive attributes and textual functions as well as reviewing possibilities of its further internal differentiation. Using the examples of two main genre types of forewords — literary and scientific — the author approaches the task of creating corresponding prototypical models, which could be presented as sets of communicative units. The communicative unit of “addressing the reader” is being analyzed subsequently.

Keywords:

paratext, foreword to a literary work, foreword to a scientific work, textual and typological models of a foreword, communicative units of a foreword
