Abstract
The article introduces scientific considerations concerning the energetic nature and origin of rhythm subliminal potential in a spoken text as well as the mechanisms of its impact on the recipient. The paper advances the idea that rhythm energetics and its subliminal potential is based on such postulates: (1) rhythm is generated in the speaker’s psyche at the levels of his/her unconscious (or existential being) and subconscious (or mental and transcendental beings) spheres; (2) the text rhythmic system has a definite emotional and pragmatic potentials that realize a latent manipulative and subliminal influence; (3) generation of the spoken text tempo-rhythm is carried out by means of integrating micro-rhythms of all levels of the speaker’s inner speech into the internal macro-rhythm, which is materialized in the form of an outer tempo-rhythm as a complex means of achieving a subliminal effect of speech. The article also outlines the prospects of studying a subliminal nature of rhythm.
Highlights
Rhythm as a unique communicative phenomenon is actively described by linguists on the grounds of contemporary theoretical views and experimental data, obtained by the researchers of such areas of scientific knowledge as philosophy, study of art, psychology, musicology, physiology, computer science, mathematics, neuropsychology, psycholinguistics, psychophysiology, neurophysiology, psychoacoustics, etc. since its treatment as a purely phonetic or syntactic phenomenon is not sufficient for the solution of emerging problems connected with the functioning of rhythm in prosaic texts.At the same time linguists have recently admitted that the issue of energetic nature of the rhythm’s subliminal potential generation is one of the most actual issues of the general problem of rhythm functioning in communication
The undertaken analysis of the specificities of text rhythmic system functioning, viewed as a psycho-physiological energetic substance, provides us with additional evidence that the generated tempo-rhythm accumulates in itself the direct connection and the character of interaction between the spiritual and material bases of individual’s personality, reflecting it in oral speech
The use of the substantiated in the paper approach will permit, firstly, to make quantitative evaluation of the effects of energetic resonance of micro- and macro-rhythms due to which the text rhythmic system ensures the achievement of a maximum subliminal potential of any of its fragments
Summary
Rhythm as a unique communicative phenomenon is actively described by linguists on the grounds of contemporary theoretical views and experimental data, obtained by the researchers of such areas of scientific knowledge as philosophy, study of art, psychology, musicology, physiology, computer science, mathematics, neuropsychology, psycholinguistics, psychophysiology, neurophysiology, psychoacoustics, etc. since its treatment as a purely phonetic or syntactic phenomenon is not sufficient for the solution of emerging problems connected with the functioning of rhythm in prosaic texts. Rhythm is regarded in the paper in its narrow meaning and in its broad understanding when it interacts with the means of other language levels Such a consideration is based on the idea that any individual component of the prosodic system without interaction with its other components is not sufficient to form a stable rhythmic concept in the person’s auditory-and-emotional memory, being capable of performing the function of a particular rhythmic concept-prototype in his/her psychic sphere. This is important since subliminal effects can only be achieved when the sender and recipient’s communicative cultures coincide, the prerequisite of which is the presence of an adequately generated and decoded rhythmic concept-prototype in their memory.
