n was up, had severed all connection with the chimney pots of distant houses (A. Sillitoe). They can be used with zero article,. G. A gleam of sun had come, sharpening to his hurrying senses all the beauty of the afternoon. (J. Galsworthy) effect of the repeating the article can determine the growing of the narrative importance of the sentence,. G. It began to rain slowly and heavily ... and her thoughts went down the lane toward the field, the hedge, the trees - oak, beech, elm. (Gr. Greene). This case the interchange of the words with and without article either slows the tempo of the narrative, or makes it faster.the rule of the usage the indefinite article with the objects first mentioned is violated. The things can be represented as already known to the listener or reader. Let us compare the extract from J. Galsworthy s novel В«The Man of PropertyВ» and E.Hemingway s В«In Another CountryВ» .. g.

Galsworthy has the traditional manner of introducing the objects by the nouns with the indefinite article. E.Hemingway, on the contrary, uses definite articles. Due to this he reaches vividness, emotion tension of the narrative.usage of the articles depends also on the functional style of the text. Thus, in the advertisements published in the news-papers all the articles are omitted. It helps to create the telegram-like style,. G. Trained nurse with child 2 years seeks post London preferred.articles are also omitted in the titles of the news-paper s articles,. G. Blaze Kills 15 at Party., We can define the main points concerning the usage of the articles. The usage of the articles in English depends on:
В· emotional message of the narrative (positive or negative);
В· functional style of the narrative;
В· metaphorical usage of the word.us regard some more examples taken from the play of Beth Henley В«Crimes of the heartВ» .. g. I could hardly be blamed for all the skeletons of the MaGraths.definite article is used here with the surname in plural in order to indicate the negative attitude of the speaker towards the family mentioned .. g.
