| Abstract [eng] |
A review is one of analytical, scientific or scientific-publicistic style genres. Its function is to divide, explicate, systemize, summarize, and evaluate. Traditionally the reviews are classified as follows: public (assessment of author’s work in media) and non-public: (deliberative / recommendatory and academic ones). In the aspect of an addressee, the reviews can be sorted into scientific-theoretical and informational/promotional ones. The purpose of the latter is not only to provide an assessment but also to have some kind of impact on the addressee. A review may encompass one object of a single author, several objects of a single author or several authors, therefore according to the object reviews can be single-subject, multi-subject thematic or observational. According to the number of peculiarities/features the reviews are distinguished into aspectual and multi-aspectual ones. Stylistically reviews may be of scientific and scientific-journalistic style. Due to the openness of genres and their impact on one another, the following types of reviews may be conditionally identified: reviews-articles, reviews-surveys, reviews-annotations, reviews-opinions and reviews-essays. The addressee of the reviews by assoc. prof. E. Prėskienienė is not a literary critic but a reader, most frequently a teacher and sometimes a resident of Šiauliai city. This also determines stylistic connotation of the reviews, crossing the boundaries of the subjects of literary science. A work is assessed by taking into account psychological and educational aspects, i.e. the author is concerned with educational and developmental impact of the text on a child or an adult. |
