Abstract

Objective. The objective of the article is to analyze the structure and semantics of allusions-realia in the function of evaluative predicates and relative allusive evaluation predicates. Methods. The main scientific results are obtained using a set of general scientific and special research methods, namely: analysis, generalization and systematization of scientific and educational literature on literary studies, psychology, linguistics; theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis, as well as comparative, descriptive and analytical Results. The article considers allusive evaluation predicates represented by a wide range of structural and semantic diversity. Results. Allusive evaluation predicates are subdivided, by the nature of the interaction of the allusion denotation with the object of evaluation, into comparative, based on the comparison of the object of evaluation with the allusion denotation on the principle of their similarity, polarity or asymmetry, and relative based on his knowledge or attitude to the allusion denotation, or on the basis of the imaginary involvement of the object in a particular event, or its imaginary connection with some famous person, as a result of which the object acquires characteristics associated with the event or personality. In the form of textual representation, allusive evaluation predicates can be resembling of cultural realia and names of famous people, author’s occasionalisms, reviews of quotes, proverbs, sayings. In addition, denotations of allusions may undergo, at the discretion of the author, some modifications in order to maximize the specification of the evaluative meaning or its intensification. Regarding allusions-realia, it should be noted that theoretically any realia could be included in the evaluation of judgments, both positive and negative, because it can be viewed from different points of view. Still, in most cases, every fact gets in the minds of people or rather positive or rather negative colour. Therefore, being included in the work of art, realia brings with it its original sign, which can be preserved or changed depending on the light in which realia is presented.
