Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of resemantization of the key terms in the text of the new autobiographical novel «Emerson’s Garden» (“El huerto de Emerson”) by Luis Landero. In Ukrainian Spanish studies the name of Luis Landero is associated with the Generation of 1968, postmodern realism, post postmodern novel and existentialism, the features which mark the early works of the writer. Writing activity of Luis Landero for the last decades was not mentioned by Ukrainian investigators nevertheless it demonstrates a new high level of literary mastership. In his autobiographical novel «Emerson’s Garden» mature writer constantly uses the experience of Spanish literature with his special narrative technique where a cognitive component dominates. Estimating the achievements of the great writer and scientist Umberto Eco, it is observed how Luis Landero forecasts the role of the reader and then gives a new meaning to his own work and rewrites it so as just the author’s idea could be crystalized. As a result, a transparent text with a clear message of the writer is obtained. Among the main cases of resemantization the names of all parts of the novel and particular elements of ideological and thematical organization of the novel were highlighted. The process of resemantization affects the names of real objects and the objects of fiction literature reality. Newly resemantizated units particularly influence the perception of the reader and convey the direction of the authors thinking, creating dynamic and live images. The article says that original author’s metaphor and hyperbole are the locomotive of the resemantization process.
