Термин-ассоциация-образ в русском и польском языке на примере хореографического искусства

Abstract

There is an opinion found across the scientific literature that the term is something consciously regulated by a person, but as practice shows, this is not always the case. A choreographic terminological system may serve as a vivid example of this phenomenon. The present study focuses on choreographic terms in Russian and Polish aiming to conduct a comparative analysis with the subsequent identification of common and distinctive features of manifestation of the influence of associative-creative thinking on the terminological system. The collected terms were divided into three conditional groups: the first group included terms and concepts common to the Russian language with the same Slavic base, the terms that are unique only to a present language made into the second, while the third group contained terms that exist in Russian, but are absent in Polish. As the present study shows, choreographic art and its terminological system are inextricably linked, and since the secret meaning is hidden in its terms, what kind of associations will be found behind them, will determine the actual art of dance. At the same time, the author points out that the lack of clear terms for certain movements entails a low level of choreographic mastery.
