Stylistic System Research Articles

Ономастическое пространство произведений Расула Гамзатова

The article examines the onomastic space of poetry by the outstanding poet of the 20th century Rasul Gamzatov. This study reveals the role of proper names in the poet’s work, reflects the im-portance of onyms in the realization of the creative idea of the works, in reflecting the individual author’s picture of the world. The article classifies proper names according to semantic and struc-tural categories. The analysis of onyms is conducted and their place in the “core-periphery” sys-tem of the onomastic field is determined. In the onomastic space of the works of the author under study, it was possible to identify the following types of onyms that can be classified as paratextu-al: designation, title, epigraph, dedication. During the analysis of the onomastic space, it was es-tablished that proper names, both intertextual and paratextual, play an important and organic role in the stylistic system of the author’s texts, since, possessing a wealth of semantic connections, complex associations and connotations, contribute to the formation of the general imagery of Rasul Gamzatov’s works.

СРЕДСТВА ИСЦЕЛЕНИЯ И ВОСКРЕШЕНИЯ В ГЕРОИЧЕСКИХ СКАЗАНИЯХ ХАКАСОВ

Important components in stability of the tradition are stable poetic descriptions and epic formulas, in the structure of which reference words and phrases are necessarily found. The study purpose is to identify and describe magical objects with the semantics of “healing, resurrection”, contributing to the development of a certain plot and motifs in the epic narrative of the Khakas people. The realization of this purpose provides for the solution of the following tasks: identification and description of stable poetic descriptions using the example of magical objects with the semantics of “healing, resurrection”, with the detailed analysis of specific magical attributes, similarities and differences in the texts of different storytellers, determination of the degree of reference to the epic plot and motifs. The category of magic items under consideration includes: triple-joint grass, white flower, living water, lake with healing water, white silk handkerchief, whip with a golden handle, feather. The introduction of magical objects with the semantics of healing and resurrection into the poetic texture of the epic contributes to the further disclosure of the motifs associated with heroic matchmaking, with trials and exploits of the hero/hero woman. Despite the fact that the analyzed magical objects are not mandatory attributes, they contribute to the development of a certain plot in an epic piece of work, the connection of various sections of the text, ensuring their semantic coherence. The study relevance is due to the lack of research on the poetic and stylistic system of Khakas heroic tales. In the study, the consideration of certain ethno-poetic constants is very important, since they play an important role in shaping the structure and content of an epic plot. In Khakas folklore studies, this problem has been studied on a piecemeal basis. The scientific novelty of the work is in the fact that for the first time ethno-poetic constants are considered on the example of magic objects. The novelty of the research is also manifested in the fact that the information, revealed from folklore works, will significantly replenish the factual base of research in the field of studying the motivational fund of the Khakas people’s folklore. To achieve this goal, descriptive and comparative methods were used in the work.

Quantitative Stylistic Analysis of Middle Chinese Texts Based on the Dissimilarity of Evolutive Core Word Usage

Stylistic analysis enables open-ended and exploratory observation of languages. To fill the gap in the quantitative analysis of the stylistic systems of Middle Chinese, we construct lexical features based on the evolutive core word usage and scheme a Bayesian method for feature parameters estimation. The lexical features are from the Swadesh list, each of which has different word forms along with the language evolution during the Middle Ages. We thus count the varied word of those entries along with the language evolution as the linguistic features. With the Bayesian formulation, the feature parameters are estimated to construct a high-dimensional random feature vector to obtain the pair-wise dissimilarity matrix of all the texts based on different distance measures. Finally, we perform the spectral embedding and clustering to visualize, categorize, and analyze the linguistic styles of Middle Chinese texts. The quantitative result agrees with the existing qualitative conclusions and, furthermore, betters our understanding of the linguistic styles of Middle Chinese from both the inter-category and intra-category aspects. It also helps unveil the special styles induced by the indirect language contact.

Features of onyms in M. Karim’s works

Onomastics in fiction is a promising, young, but a rapidly developing branch of knowledge in linguistics. It expresses the importance of onomastic material in different ways, and its inclusion in scientific circulation covers the study of a wide range of historical, geographical and linguistic issues, starting from ancient times to the present time.Onyms are an important component of the semantic and stylistic system in the author’s use of language in fiction. They organically and willingly join the system of linguistic means of a literary text, participate in the formation of the work’s overall expressiveness, entering the author’s lexicon as an important indicator of the author’s style and creating an “onomastic space” of the work.Onyms in Bashkir, as well as in many Turkic languages, arouse the interest of many scientists. This article studies structural and word-formation features in the work of the national Bashkortostan poet Mustai Karim. A characteristic feature of the great writer’s literary texts is the use of word-formation suffixes in the onym formation in a work of fiction. In addition, we explored the components of these words. The study of the word formation structure and system of the presented lexemes proves that they will always comply with the norms of the Bashkir language.

Stylistic features of the development of Muravyov-Amursky Street in Khabarovsk in the pre-revolutionary period

The work presents a systematic picture of the development of the historical core of the architectural ensemble of the central main street of the city of Khabarovsk - Muravyov-Amursky, which was formed during the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries, and is currently of absolute interest from the point of view of studying the history of regional architecture of the pre-revolutionary period associated with the economic development of the eastern outskirts of the Russian Empire, the construction of new cities and settlements and the creation of transport infrastructure that connected the Pacific region with the central part of the country. The study was based on materials obtained by the authors during the study of scientific and local history literature, Internet resources and archival searches, as well as their own field surveys of street development. As a result, the stylistic and space-planning characteristics of the buildings and structures included in the ensemble, determined by the specifics of the development of the city and its architectural and construction complex, were considered. The study showed that the status of Khabarovsk as the administrative center of the Amur Governor-General and, as a consequence, the presence in it of three categories of customers: the city administration, the military department and private merchants, as well as the characteristics of local building materials, determined the typological and form-creative diversity of the ensemble of the central street of the city , which developed during the period under review in four stylistic systems: Russian style, retrospectivism, “brick” style and modernism. The authors identified a range of problems of interaction between historical buildings and new construction objects, which are actively being introduced into the urban fabric and changing the perception of the cultural landscape of the city.

Borys Grinchenko: poet, lyrical subject, and epoch

The focus of the paper is on the complicated process of including Borys Grinchenko’s poetic heritage in the cultural history of the Ukrainian people as a nation. Attention is drawn to the erroneous statements in the studies of the 1930s to 1950s and the restoration of a fair assessment later. The paper traces the evolution of Borys Grinchenko’s poetry based on the analysis of particular details in his works and materials of discussion on the recognition of the literary value of his “poetic word”. The texts of his works are analysed as the case study the 1903 lifetime edition “Writings. Volume 1”, which was wrongly underestimated at the time.The innovative tendencies of his poetic thinking can be traced from the beginning of his literary activity to the last years of his life. Attention is drawn to the genres, themes, figurative language, and stylistic features of Grinchenko’s poetry in their evolutionary development (the 1880s through the 1900s). Particularly noteworthy is the rhythmic and melodic structure of the author’s poetry and its gradual changes. His works may be associated with such stylistic systems of Ukrainian poetry as Enlightenment romanticism, neo-romanticism, and symbolism. The edition of Borys Grinchenko’s poetry “Writings. Volume 1”, highly appreciated by Lesia Ukrainka at the time, may serve a code for understanding the peculiarities of his creative style as a poet. In addition to the epic mastery that distinguished the writer, his poetry demonstrated the expressive lyricism of the “poetic word”. One of the peculiarities of Grinchenko’s poetic pieces was cyclization, especially evident in the collection “Minutes”, which was included in the mentioned edition. In the author’s lyrical and confessional preface, he clearly outlines the image of the lyrical hero of his works. The lyrical character and his individual existence are extremely important for Grinchenko as the poet. The final part of the paper formulates the fundamental values of Borys Grinchenko’s life credo. His poetry has been and continues to be a significant and valuable cultural phenomenon, contributing effectively to the establishment of Ukraine as a nation.

슬라브주의와 서구주의의 논쟁

This paper is a study on Slavicism in the debate between Slavophilism and Westernism, which was an ideological debate that engulfed Russian intellectual circles in the early and mid-19th century. The development history of Russian written language, starting with славянский (Slavicism) in the 9th century and moving toward славянорусский (Slavyanorossiysky) in the mid-18th century, is a journey of weakening the position of славянский and increasing the status of русский.
 The superiority of the former over the latter was maintained for several centuries, but cracks in the relationship between the two languages began to appear during the reign of Peter the Great in the late-17th and early-18th centuries. From the mid-18th century, they fused into one national literary language, namely славянорусский. Slavicism, which started out as a category in origin, transitioned into a stylistic category from this period and functioned as a stylistic component within the stylistic system of Russian literary language. This study examines the characteristics of Slavicism from the mid-18th century to the early-to-mid-19th century by classifying it in terms of form and function. After introducing the conflicting views of Slavophilism and Westernism on Slavicism, as well as a compromise view of these two views, the paper expresses the following views: The debate between Slavophilism and Westernism only ended in different interpretations of the linguistic reality of Russia at the time and had no effect on the linguistic reality. Slavicism, which had undergone continuous changes for several centuries, was following its own path of change, regardless of the ideologies and ideals of intellectuals regarding language, especially in the 19th century.

Sign-symbol Systems in Artistic Practices of Ukrainian Artists of the 1960-1970s, Based on the Example of the Monumental and Decorative Panels by Oleg Yerzhykivsky

The purpose of the research is to analyze the parallels between the monumental art of Ukrainian artists of the 1960s and 1970s and world graphic design. Research methods consist in the application of formal and stylistic analysis of works of art, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis of new materials introduced into scientific circulation. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the stylistic performance of unstudied enough objects of monumental and decorative art was analyzed. Achievements in the creation of symbolic and design systems were compared. The main common conceptual approaches in creation, the similarity of thematic directions and stylistic approaches are identified, the differences of the visual language due to various performance techniques are diagnosed. The photos from a private family archive have been made public for the first time. Conclusions. Despite the general ideological engagement of the Soviet artistic environment in the 1960s and 1970s, there were works that were ahead of their time and used the material resources of the USSR-Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic to create works on universally important topics (culture, science, technology, history). Such are Oleg Yerzhykivsky’s panels for monumental structures created by him during his work in 1963-1969 at ZNDIEP (Kyiv Zonal Research Institute of Experimental Design of Residential and Public Buildings), which can be attributed to urban identity devoid of any propaganda communist color in the subject, but rather devoted to civilizational values. Using the achievements of the creation of sign and symbolic systems of previous historical periods, the master managed to create his own stylistic system, which exists outside of time and a specific state or social order. From a formative point of view, the analyzed panels gravitate towards the visual language of graphic design, predicting such genre sectors as identity, brand books, navigation systems for public spaces, mascots for brands, etc. The common features established by this study are: laconic image, condensation of graphic expression, development of a system of signs perceived at the level of conventional symbols, use of elementary modular grid for arrangement of visual elements and creation of patterns (prefabricated plate technology).

Archetypal literary criticism and intertextuality

Literary criticism was an important part of Western literary theory in the 20th century and has not lost its importance to this day. Criticism has an active influence on the literary process, as well as directly on the formation of public consciousness. This article discusses two important approaches, the principle of literary criticism. The archetypal literary criticism and the theory of intertextuality. Archetypal literary criticism is a theory that interprets a text by focusing on mythological motifs and archetypes in narrative, symbols, imagery, and character types that recur in different literary works. Analysis of the inclusions of intertext in the text of a work of art gives reason to consider them as one of the most important devices in the writer's stylistic system. The ability to integrate elements of another text into one's own work and introduce one's own text into the public consciousness is called "intertextualization" within the framework of this theory. Intertextuality is a common property of texts, expressed in the presence of links between them, due to which texts (or parts of them) can explicitly or implicitly refer to each other in a variety of ways. It is worth noting that the archetypal literary criticism and the theory of intertextuality have deep internal theoretical connections, which boil down to three main points: these are literary repetitions, general views on literature, and the consideration of literature as a repository of memory. Although these theories arose in the era of different cultural and historical paradigms - structuralism and post-structuralism, they have much in common in terms of connotation. Being different theoretical systems of literary criticism, archetypal criticism and intertextuality are closely connected by the presence of an element of psychological criticality in both. This article searches for similarities between the two indicated systems in these three aspects and substantiates their theoretical connection, which proves the complementary nature of these two theories.

Semantic Interaction between Signs in Caricature: Linguistic Exploration to the Movement of Meaning from Sign to Style

Both Sender & Recipient do communicate through the utilization of signs within a specific context. These signs operate via Grammatical and Stylistic System, which has an essential role in testing meaning more accurately. As a matter of fact, in any communication based on Linguistic Interaction, errors can be corrected, words are modified, and even clarification could be increased. We usually raise inquiries, such as “Do you mean this?” The Recipient to this inquiry may clarify his idea by using more accurate style. But how do tags or signs function in a graphic speech? Can we consider these signs in a Caricature as the intended style? In order to answer these questions, we shall assume that the Semantic Interaction between the signs of a Caricature is the Style, and to test the validity of such assumption, we shall focus on the movement of signs towards the style and ending at the communication process, since the latter is deemed a critical point in testing meaning.

러시아 저널리즘체의 형성과 발전과정에 관한 통시적 고찰

Among the characteristics of literary language summarized as multifunctionality, super-dialecticity, normativity, refinement, and differentiation of the functional style, the last is formed in the final stage of literary language development. The functional stylistic system consists of ordinary-colloquial style, academic style, official-business style, artistic-literary style, and journalistic style, and among them, this paper focuses on the journalistic style. First, the first printed newspaper in Russia, Peter's Vedomosti (PV) in the early 18th century and Moscow Vedomosti(MV) in the mid-19th century are compared and analyzed and the differences in newspaper language before and after the formation of a journalistic style, i.e., linguistic distinguishing characteristics between PV and MV, are clearly presented in the aspect of journalistic style. This study on journalistic style as one of the functional styles of literary language will lead to further research on media language beyond the framework of modern Russian literary language and on the correlation between media language, journalism style, and literary language.

On the question of differential features of religious style and its place in the stylistic system of the modern Russian language

On the question of differential features of religious style and its place in the stylistic system of the modern Russian language

Less Known Art Nouveau: Orleans, Dunkirk, Lille

Abstract Art Nouveau architecture during the last century experienced drastic change of attitude – from complete denial to glorification. However, many publications still repeat the same stereotypes of style assessment, focusing on the decorative layer as the seemingly main feature of style. Some significant values of Art Nouveau heritage are still only partially or incompletely recognized. In this paper, several less known examples of Art Nouveau heritage in France, in particular, in the cities of Orléans, Dunkirk and Lille are analysed. The architectural-artistic qualities of these buildings are revealed in the context of both French and wider cultural heritage. Art Nouveau, having been the origin and basis of the entire stylistic system of modern architecture, completely meets the principles of contemporary Baukultur ideas.

TO THE PROBLEM OF THE INTERACTION OF RELIGIOUS AND PUBLICISTIC STYLES OF UKRAINIAN LITERARY LANGUAGE

The article is devoted to the interaction of religious and journalistic styles of the Ukrainian literary language. The openness of religious texts to updating the stylistic norm is substantiated in connection with the general trends of polymorphism of the modern stylistic system. Semantic and stylistic changes in the functioning of socio-political vocabulary, development of rational and expressive evaluation of key concepts of modern journalistic texts are analyzed in the language of preaching and journalistic-religious genres based on fixation in common language dictionaries Ukrainian literary language – of Ukraine, war – peace, defender – enemy. Journalistic names in religious texts acquire a new sacred meaning through the use of biblical comparisons, comparison with the foundations of Christian axiology. A religious text, preserving its own core of stylistic language means, creates conditions for rethinking key journalistic concepts, for building their rational and expressive evaluation potential in the context of Christian values. Globalization trends, psychologically complex challenges of the times cause stylistic transformations of the language of sermons, religious and journalistic genres, as well as literary language in general.

Межъязыковая трансформация в турецком языке в текстах культуры (о новом переводе «Евгения Онегина» А.С. Пушкина)

The article presents the results of the work of the School for a Young Translator, carried out on the initiative of the Institute of the Russian Language of the P. Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University together with the representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo in Ankara and the Ankara University of Social Sciences. Within the framework of the school, interactive lectures were given on the general theory of translation, on translation as a process of interlingual transformation, on the types of translation transformations and intertextual connections of the original text, on the linguacultural background knowledge of the translator and the theory of lacunization. During practical classes, students were offered a questionnaire for determining intercultural connotations, created on the basis of the developments of Yu.A. Sorokin, as well as poems by A.A. Feta and short poems by Can Yucel and Aziz Nesin for independent translation from Russian into Turkish and from Turkish into Russian, respectively.The main event in the work of the school was the presentation of a new translation of the novel in verse by A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin”. The translator of the novel, philologist and writer Sabri Gürses spoke about the difficulties of translating Russian poetry into Turkish, about the importance of knowing the general cultural, historical and literary background for creating any translated literary text. One of the main tasks of the translation of “Eugene Onegin” is to preserve the language of A.S. Pushkin as a complex stylistic system, which includes not only all the styles of speech of that era, but also book-archaic phrases and Old Slavonicisms, therefore the Turkish language of his translation should include all these styles and correspond to the speech image of the characters.

Понятие стиля в свете разных теоретических подходов

Known since antiquity, the concept of style is widely used in various fields of human activity. Style is represented in language, in art, in sports, in fashion, etc. The article traces the history of the word stylein the Russian language and discusses various approaches to style in linguistics and semiotics. The definition of style as a way of activity and as a set of features characterizing the result of activity requires reference to the structure of the stylistic system and styles of texts, to the distinction of denotation and connotation. In the final part of the article, the concept of style is discussed from the perspective of cognitive linguistics.

Структура текстовой модели стихиры «Приидите, ублажим Иосифа»

The relevance of the topic is stipulated by the intensive development of the theory of textual-musical forms in modern Russian musicology. The novelty of the research is determined by the method of analysis of archaic text models by applying the principle of symmetry. In the article the unique composition of the verbal text in the masterpieces of the early Russian monophonic chants, the origins of which go back to the Byzantine tradition of the 7th and 8th centuries AD, is examined for the first time. The repetitive identical syntactical constructions — the elements unconnected to the plot — are combined into a complex polytextual structure. The stichera Come, Let Us Thank Joseph is based on the interaction of plot and non-plot elements. The rhythm of the form in its line composition of end-to-end development is created by the periodic symmetry of threefold repetition. The group of small texts representing the direct speech of the characters: Joseph, Mary, and Simeon the God-Receiver is embedded in the “large text”: the call to prayer and the prayer of believers. The author of the article describes it with a mathematical formula, and offers a geometric analogue in the form of a gnomon — a figure suggested by Greek mathematician Heron of Alexandria in the second half of the 1st century AD. The archaic text code of the stichera has traversed from century to century and acquired a modern sound due to the expressive means corresponding to the musical stylistic system of the epoch. The polished text models provide canonical ritual chants with centuries-old functioning in the form of the variant multitude of musical compositions.

Poetics of the symphony genre in the discourse of cognitive musicology (a case study of V. Silvestrov’s works)

Statement of the problem. The article is devoted to methodological problems of musical science, namely, to the functioning of the category of poetics in the analysis of the symphony genre. This approach is especially relevant when considering samples of a modern symphony, which embodies the genre invariant in the most individualized way, and needs new approaches to comprehend its innovative nature. Analysis of recent research and publications. The problems indicated in the article reach three levels of research: poetics as a category of musicology, the genre of the symphony, and the phenomenon of cognitive musicology in modern domestic science. Among the important studies of poetics, we can point out the analytical research performed by A. Polishchuk. As for the symphony genre, the works by O. Zinkevych are the most important. The problems of cognitive musicology are being developed at the department of interpretology and analysis of music of Kharkiv I. P. Kotlyarevsky National University of Arts under the leadership of L. Shapovalova. Also, the main provisions of the study are outlined in more detail in the dissertation of the author of the article. Main objective(s) of the study – approbation of the mode of poetics of the symphony in cognitive musicology using the examples of early symphonies of V. Sylvestrov, which are significantly different from the established models of the embodiment of the genre invariant of the symphony; awareness of their innovative nature and specificity through the category of poetics. The scientific novelty consists in the correlation of the category of the poetics of the symphony with the ontological foundations of music, as well as in the application of this approach to the analysis of the ontogenesis of V. Sylvestrov’s early symphonic creative work as a stylistic system. Methodology. The research uses the following methods of modern humanities and musicology: genre, structural-functional, onto-sonological, semantic, hermeneutic, and cognitive. Results. Poetics is a methodological mode that works in the analysis of the phenomenological nature of modern symphony samples, since it, unlike the established categories in musicology, takes into account both musical and nonmusical discourses, allows to correctly illuminate the nature of the modern symphony, which goes beyond the structural invariant. Poetics is understood both as a methodological guideline that allows for the interpretation of different-level manifestations of the specificity of the composition, which reveal its ontological nature, and as a system that embodies the inner language of the author at all levels of the musical composition. Conclusions. The being of the symphony genre and the experience of its analytical comprehension is a moving, “livsng” semiotics system in musicology. The poetics of the symphony as a way of inhabiting existence, its structuring reaches the level of the world picture, which embodies the dichotomy “Me – World” and distinguishes its most essential quality – ontological.
