The theoretical basis for this study draws on factual material of contemporary Belarusian fiction obtained through the analysis of approximately 150 prose works by 28 Belarusian authors (including N. Adam, G. Avlasenko, L. Andreyev, L. Bogdanova, A. Butevich, V. Dovnar, O. Zhdan, Ya. Pinchuk, M. Prokhor, E. Skobelev, A. Khomenok, A. Chizh-Litash, and others). The primary research tool was the descriptive-analytical method, based on an inductive-deductive approach, in which an analysis of the use of a paragraph in literary prose texts reveals its pragmatic potential. The author also used the semantic-stylistic method, which involves determining the stylistic markings of a paragraph (i. e., the presence of evaluation, expression, or stylistic coloring); the method of linguistic analysis, which involves identifying the system of stylistic devices for paragraphing syntactic units of a literary text; and the communicative-pragmatic method aimed at revealing the au- thor’s intentions through an analysis of the implicit content of a paragraph. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using the obtained results, proposed classifications, and definitions for analyzing literary texts, as well as for the textual study of specific works aimed at investigating the individual author’s style.
