On the voluminosity (multi-dimensionality) of a literary work. Has it a beginning and ending?

Abstract

Taking into consideration the voluminosity (multi-dimensionality) of a literary work, it is better to apply the terms “beginning” and“ending” to the wording (verbal content) of the work, rather than to the work as a whole. The whole work of high artistic merit is distinguished by the depth which is created by the subject-object and space-time transitions, the syntax and graphic façade, owing to the special rhythm of the readers’ reception with its segments on various flats, such as in sculpture. The voluminosity (multi-dimensionality) of a literary work helps develop the verbal and extra-verbal spheres in it, allowing us to talk of the “extra-verbal” category along with the “pre-verbal” and “post-verbal” categories.
