ИСТИНА

The use of the English arcicles is closely connected with the categories of Objectness, Subjectivity/Objectivity, Quantity/Quality, the General and the Particular they express. The way they realise these categorial meanings predetermines largely the kind of images they produce. "The" nouns usually refer their objects to the objective world and tend to produce images that are full-fledged, presenting their object or objects as smth whole possessing inner unity and pottentially innumerable characteristics. The "a" noun image presents its object as belonging to the subjective world, it is a single object.Usually it produces the image which is scheme-like, very common and easily recognised which serves as a minimal code for that object.(In fiction with its focus on the subjective it is different). The zero arcicle presents its object as a phenomenon or a grouping of essences or ideas which creates a rich and culturally coloured image. Certain image parametres could be finite or infinite, scheme-like or life-like, purely functional or existential.
