Асоціативно-образний концепт світ у художньому дискурсі Мирослава Дочинця

Abstract

Recently, cognitive studies in Ukrainian linguistics have been widely developed. Linguists pay special attention to the isomorphism of language and thought, language and culture, investigating the processes of spiritual reflection of the world through the word, and consider language as a system of worldview. The phenomenon of constant spiritual culture is examined in the research of A. Stepanov. It is also worth focusing on the concept of the world as a special linguistic and cultural-mental phenomenon in the artistic discourse of Myroslav Dochynets, in particular, in his novels “Krynychar” and “Maftey”. The purpose of the present paper is the analysis of associative and figurative concept of the world in the artistic discourse of Myroslav Dochynets. The objectives include identifying the body of epitheic, metaphorical and comparative structures of the concept “world”, finding out their functional and stylistic load, and contactive colouring, outlining the place in the system of author's pausing. The language of literary texts written by Myroslav Dochynets is characterised by his artistic vision. This pattern is traced in the image of the world. The analysis enables to state that the associative and figurative structure of the concept “world” in the artistic discourse of Myroslav Dochynets is syncretic. It has been singled out that author's linguistic representation is based on the inherent Ukrainian sacramental perception of the world (the world returns to its circles).The original content of many metaphors motivates the traditional artistic comprehension of associative identification, inter alia, world – joy (The world belongs to joyful), and world – grief. The metaphorical motifs of the unity of a man and the world reveal the cognitive model man – world (the world did not accept me) special ethno-linguistic value has this segment of silence, the image of the world is presented through the prism of language-national symbols of Ukrainian culture. The prospects of further investigations lie in the study of contextual manifestations of grammatical units in the artistic discourse of Myroslav Dochynets.
