Abstract

The purpose of the article is to conduct the empirical study of understanding contemporary poetry by future philologists, which helps us to distinguish psycholinguistic mechanisms of such understanding.
 The methods of the research. The research was carried out using a sample method (using a questionnaire developed by us (Mykhalchuk, Ivashkevych & Nabochuk, 2020). This questionnaire we use to assess the psychological specifics of understanding of contemporary poetry by future philologists. In order to establish the peculiarities of the content of the associative series of the word “poetry”, we organized an associative experiment. Also we used the method of annotated reading (Illyashenko, 1980). The application of this technique involved solving the following tasks: (1) to develop the criteria to understand poetry for students; (2) to determine the levels of understanding of future philologists of poetic texts.
 The results of the research. We single out some special psycholinguistic mechanisms of understanding of poetic texts by students-philologists, such as: (1). The mechanism of actualization of “emotions of form”. (2). The mechanism of harmonization of meaning. (3). The mechanism of amplification of poetry. (4). The mechanism of acquiring aesthetic experience. We proved, that the subject of understanding is an active communicative person with multifaceted personal qualities. The subjective component of understanding is specified in two main groups of factors: (1) the factor of the activity of the understanding the subject, generalized in target conditions of understanding; (2) the factor of individual-personal conditionality of understanding: the assessment by the subject of understanding of his/her own moral, volitional, emotional-communicative qualities, personal aggression, a tendency to reflection, etc.
 Conclusions. The success of improving readers’ perception and understanding of the poetry depends on the activation of the latter. Readers focus more on direct intentions than on their own feelings and ideas about poetry, although the latter determines their different perceptions. The development of the perception and understanding of the poetic form of the reader is due to the realization of the increasing complex of emotional connections of the semantic elements of the text, and emotionality is one of the main criteria for assessing poetry.

Highlights

  • There are two most important aspects in the phenomenon of understanding: (1) in a case we provide a research of understanding as a mental process and it is necessary to determine the relationships between the understanding and cognition, thinking and knowledge

  • We proposed the original approach to the problem of psychological features of the development of the perception of the poetic form by students

  • We characterize the psychological conditions of perception of the poetic form by future philologists

Summary

Introduction

There are two most important aspects in the phenomenon of understanding: (1) in a case we provide a research of understanding as a mental process and it is necessary to determine the relationships between the understanding and cognition, thinking and knowledge In such a way it is possible to establish how organize the process of cognition of the subject and to supplement mental actions and their generate meaning (Hamedi & Pishghadam, 2021); (2) it is important to identify the structure of personal attitudes of the subject as a component of the functional mechanism of social thinking, which amplifies understanding (Engle, 2002). The researchers consider understanding as a process and a result of generating meaning (Berninger & Abbott, 2010; El-Zawawy, 2021) In such a way the meaning is manifested in the personal, cognitive and emotional aspects to the object of understanding (Wong, 2021). The authors consider knowledge to be psychological preconditions and the basis of understanding (Greco et al, 2020)
