Resumen

El objetivo del estudio era evaluar el papel de la sintaxis y las construcciones gramaticales en los textos de ficción. El estudio utilizó un enfoque comparativo de método mixto que combina el análisis cuantitativo de la sintaxis con la interpretación estilística cualitativa. La investigación analizó las técnicas sintácticas en las obras de autores como A. Navoi, R. Carver, A. Qadiri, E. Hemingway, A. Camus, J.-P. Sartre y E. Dickinson. El análisis ha demostrado que el uso de oraciones de varias cláusulas y cortas y de distintas técnicas gramaticales afecta significativamente a la percepción del texto por parte del lector. El análisis comparativo ha demostrado cómo el uso de determinados medios sintácticos y gramaticales conforma estrategias artísticas únicas que realzan el componente filosófico o emocional de la obra. Las construcciones sintácticas y gramaticales desempeñan un papel clave en la formación del estilo de la obra. Los resultados muestran que las elecciones sintácticas y gramaticales conforman el ritmo narrativo y el tono emocional.
