Features of the Structural, Compositional and Linguistic-Stylistic Formation of Artistic and Journalistic Genres on the Pages of the Tatar Periodical Press of the Early Twentieth Century

The beginning of the twentieth century in the Russian Empire is a period of growth of national consciousness. As a result, peoples of different nationalities are forming new views on education, defining their national identity, studying the history of their people and preserving traditions. An important result of such changes was the emergence of a national periodical press. The first organs of the Tatar-language Arabographic periodical press, published in the interrevolutionary period of 1905-1917, played an important role in the formation and further development of the Tatar periodical press and Tatar journalism. The first Tatar newspapers formed the genre, compositional, lexical, grammatical and stylistic structure of the modern Tatar periodical press. This determines the relevance of this scientific article. The purpose of this study is to identify the compositional and linguistic-stylistic characteristics of travel essays as the most popular artistic and journalistic genre found in the texts of Tatar newspapers of the early twentieth century. The research material was the texts of the Tatar newspapers Borkhane Tarakki (1906-1911) and Vakyt (1906-1918). In the course of the work, the descriptive and analytical method was used, as well as the method of continuous sampling of factual material. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the texts of travel essays are a description of the events that the author witnessed. The studied texts are characterized by their documentary and artistic nature. On the one hand, this type of text construction is expressed in journalistic character and the presence of compositional and lexicogrammatical structures, and on the other hand, in the active functioning of means of artistic expression.
