PARENTHETICAL WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS IN THE WORKS BY GURAM DOCHANASHVILI

The goal of the work is to study the syntactic issues in the works by Guram Dochanashvili, in particular, it gives an overview of the parenthetical words and expressions. The study confirmed that the abundance of parentheticals is a unique style of the writer. In addition to individual parenthetical words, Guram Dochanashvili also uses parenthetical clauses clarifying and specifying a preceding sentence. We distinguished a parenthetical predicate and the predicate with parentheticals. Applying different forms of the parenthetical modifier in various case forms invalidated the opinion of scientists regarding lack of a syntactic cohesion between parenthetical members with the modified or clarified ones. Isolated, parenthetical modifiers were identified in the works by Guram Dochanashvili referred to the person of the verb or preceding statement. “Metaphoric appendices” drew special attention out of the parenthetical appendices. Parenthetical adverbial modifier of time out of the parenthetical adverbs had more possibility of expression. Parenthetical adverbial modifier of manner is more characterized for the literature which was also found in the stories by Dochanashvili. Several problems were identified: According to the widespread opinion, parenthetical words and expressions are not the part of the syntactical pair, however, based on our research, parentheticals build not only syntactical relationship and word combination, but also, they form combination with a whole clause. The word order is an important issue for the parentheticals having no grammatical function. Accordingly, parentheticals have a stylistic function. Predicate and appendix refute the opinion that only secondary parts of the sentence are used as parentheticals. As parenthetical words and expressions are widely used in the works of Guram Dochanashvili, it means that the syntax serves to the style.
