Abstract
The paper attempts to analyse the structural and syntactic means of organising a poetic text in relation to psychological abilities and worldviews of the artists of the word on the materials of the poetic works of the Ossetian poets of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, Kosta Khetagurov and Blashka Gurdzhibekov. The subject of the research is ellipsis and syntactic parallelism, considered as the key elements of the poets’ individual styles that reflect the features of their worldviews and, accordingly, represent personal psychological characteristics of the poets. Based on the revealed tendency to use ellipsis together with the repeated syntactic constructions a conclusion has been drawn about the originality of the poets’ individual styles and the possibility to syntactically reflect the specificity of their worldviews, which are determined by their psychological types.
Highlights
According to the results of scientific research carried out within the framework of cognitive grammar – an area of cognitive linguistics recently marked by intensive development, – the analysis of individual preferences in the field of text construction may indicate the features of the author’s perception of the world
This paper aims to investigate the linguistic units that reflect the features of the worldviews of Kosta Khetagurov and Blashka Gurdzhibekov proceeding from the analysis of the syntax of their poetic texts
We can see that the first and second lines of the above excerpt from Kosta Khetagurov’s verse, which consist of the two verse stanzas, are a construction of two parallel structures, forming a variable contact syntactic parallelism with discrepancy of syntactic functions constructed on the ellipsis [13]
Summary
According to the results of scientific research carried out within the framework of cognitive grammar – an area of cognitive linguistics recently marked by intensive development, – the analysis of individual preferences in the field of text construction may indicate the features of the author’s perception of the world. It is recognised that studying the features of the linguistic representation of the author’s worldview at the level of constructing a literary text is among the most important tasks of modern cognitive science. According to the famous Soviet linguist and literary critic G.O. Vinokur, the exploration of various types and methods of constructing a text cannot fail to attract those who want to see a reflection of the writer’s inner world in his or her language, different constructions may become associated with different psychologies” [1].
