Retrospectives and prospectives in the text (on the example of The day lasts more than a hundred years novel by Ch. Aitmatov)

Analyzing the categories of retrospection, prospection and search in the article, we turn to the concepts of ‘temporal’, ‘spatial’ and the process of their use in linguistics, we determine their connection with the category of continuum. Retrospection creates the reader's empirical thesaurus, thanks to which the "relationship of time" is known, and the writer's thoughts are immersed in what he wants to say. It is implemented in different ways. Its characteristic features are: repetition, slow down the movement of the narrative, suspend the continuum, update the previously described event and provide meaningful and factual information of the content-conceptual part. The perspective category is the second variant of the verb form, which connects different language forms in meaningful and factual information, predicts what will be discussed in the next part of the text. A prospectus is an element of speech that meaningfully indicates what will be discussed in the main part of the text.
