The article is dedicated to comprehending the variants of actualization of the historical past in poetry and on posters of 1941–1945. Fostering respect for the past became one of the goals of the pre-war years’ propaganda. But art revealed stronger forms of time connection than the mere knowledge of history by contemporaries. The aim of the article is to establish similar types of representation of the past in poetry and poster art. According to Benveniste’s “principle of nonredundancy”, the codes of the arts are mutually untranslatable, so the objectives of the study include establishing the specifics of the forms of actualizing the past in each of arts under study. The simplest type is the spatial (on the poster) or temporal (in poetry) division of history and modernity. Narrative and comparative techniques, each in their own way, speak about the possibility of victory through an appeal to the precedent. On the poster, a multi-frame composition conveys this message. In poetry, composition is a level that is almost not used to express the concepts I am interested in. Retrospection can be introduced in any part of the text and is supported by comparative constructions, semantics of adverbs and pronoun, the special dynamics of verb tense forms. In other types, history is present in modernity. This can happen indirectly through the inclusion in the plane of the present cultural signs of the past: monuments or books. They do not point to real events, but to actual historical ideas and myths. The most effective force is works that implement the metaphor of the past helping in the battles. For this, poster artists created a special two-level composition with a coloristic opposition of the planes and their comparison at the level of poses’ and figures’ identity. The past personifies in the person of the glorified generals and naval commanders, and poetry also recreates the resurrection and participation in modernity of nameless, seemingly unheroic ancestors. The pragmatics of addressing the past in such works was different – they evoked a sense of responsibility to history. The past was also actualized in the concept of the immortal collective body of the people. When implementing this idea, poetry does not abandon the linear development of time, describing the historical path of the people as the centuries-old life of the giant individual. The poster, which focuses on only one point, reveals the soul of ancient warriors in contemporaries. Posters with deformed shadows become the means of embodying this idea. Finally, the past appears in the form of reincarnation of heroes. Formally such works are devoid of a second plane, but it is present in the form of allusions that establish an internal or external similarity of modern heroes with a historical person. This type, like the previous one, speaks of the embodiment of national typical features in contemporaries – the most reliable form of the presence of the past in the present.

Phraseology is part of the cultural heritage, reflecting the peculiarities of the worldview and the value system of a particular people. In this regard, phraseological units of military topics can give an idea of the perception of war and the army within the framework of individual cultures and languages. Since war is an integral part of life in most countries of the world, the peculiarities of the attitude towards it embodied in the language make it possible to understand its significance for the bearers of a particular culture. The aim of the study is to compare the phraseology of the military theme of the Russian and Chinese languages in the typological, etymological and cognitive aspects. This is the first time such a study is being conducted. The research material was Russian (284 units) and Chinese (3773 and 290 units) phraseological units extracted from various Russian-language and Chinese lexicographic publications (11 titles). In the course of the study, methods of continuous sampling, directional selection and simple probabilistic sampling, methods of linguistic observation and description, systematization and classification, comparative analysis, interpretation of data and their statistical processing, synthesis, abstraction and generalization were used. The types of phraseological units of military topics in the Russian and Chinese languages were established; the sources and time of origin of phraseology of military topics were described; the main mechanism for the formation of phraseological meanings of military idioms was identified; semantic groups of metaphorized images of phraseological units of military topics in the two languages were identified; the differences and similarities of the named semantic groups were indicated. The study concludes that the Chinese military phraseology is more anthropocentric and anthropomorphic in comparison with the Russian military phraseological system. In general, the results of the study allow characterizing the military phraseology of the Chinese language as having emerged in an earlier period and having a greater number of units. This is explained both by the longer period of existence of the Chinese civilization and the typological features of the system of Chinese hieroglyphic writing, which has preserved written monuments containing phraseological units for thousands of years, and by the importance of war and the military sphere in Chinese culture.

. The peculiarities of a new stage in Russian traditional popular culture, dating from the first half of the 20th century, when many dialect speakers began to read and write, require to study the influence that is exerted on oral dialect communication by written speech. Today, in dialect speech, we need to distinguish the features originated from the oral character of this form of communication from the unwritten character of folk speech culture as a foundation of dialect communication, and from the inclusion of written components in the language consciousness of dialect speakers. The analysed material is the speech of dialect speaking Old Believers from the village Belogornoe in Saratov Oblast; the object of observation is the peculiarities of inclusion of written culture elements into the dialect speech; the main research method is the text-based analysis of dialect speech. Literate dialect speaking Old Believers’ speech is typically dialectal – by its phonetic and grammatical structure, its lexical specificity, its communicative organization, as well as from the point of view of verbalized features distinguishing the dialect speakers’ consciousness. At the same time, the informants’ speech represents a specific synthesis of oral dialect communication features with penetrating elements of bookish and written discourses, mainly religious one. The interaction of the dialect speech basis with other discursive elements can be seen in the lexical composition of dialect speaking Old Believers’ speech, in the manner of coping with the inclusions from other discourses, in the functioning of heterogeneous language units, as well as in the forms of linguistic reflection. While remaining basically dialectal with its non-functional variability as a distinguishing feature of dialectal communication, the speech of literate dialect speakers is characterized by some elements of linguistic means’ functional distribution and by the strengthening of meta-linguistic reflection. The authors conclude that changes in dialect communication, connected with the expansion of literacy among dialect speakers, have a variable character. They are determined by the source of literacy and by the circle of written texts constituting the communicative space of a dialect speaker. The peculiarities of synthesizing written culture with the Old Believers’ dialect speech are a variant of the general dynamics of folk speech tradition.

The aim of the research is to identify semantic models of humorous utterances that express the stereotypical ideas of the lawyers’ professional community about the content of the categories of its participants in informal settings. The research methodology integrates two approaches: a critical analysis of discourse and a semantic approach to humour based on scripts by Salvatore Attardo and Victor Raskin. We applied the following analysis model: (1) discursive analysis of texts in accordance with the procedure presented in the papers of foreign and Russian scholars; (2) analysis of humour in accordance with the six-level model of analysis proposed by Attardo; (3) as the research includes transformed statements consisting of a complex of elements and their interrelationships to varying degrees, the methodology is supplemented by the theory of conceptual integration developed by Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner. The research methods are: discourse analysis, including standard techniques of communicative-pragmatic and semantic analysis; content analysis, the semantic categories of which are the parameters of the sociocommunicative level of the model, and the units are their typical lexical markers. The data include Internet memes constituting the content of professional legal groups on the social networks Instagram and Facebook. The data include 260 units. The analysis revealed a quantitative predominance in Internet memes expressing the subjects of legal discourse of models based on contrast and referential humour. The semantic dominants actualised in such models coincide with the stereotypical attitudes currently existing in society in relation to the legal community and its professional participants. The uneven distribution of models in accordance with the categories of participants indicates the predominance of reflection in relation to several professional participants – an advocate and a lawyer: intensity of professional activity and high fatigue, prestige of professional status and high social responsibility of professional participants, competence and professionalism (unprofessionalism), complexity and incomprehensibility of the language, high profit. In relation to non-professional participants (client/ accused/ defendant/ respondent/ witness), the stereotypes about their stupidity, greed, arrogance, venality are replicated. Referential models are distinguished by the diversity of the subjects represented and the uniformity of the meanings expressed: the subject’s originality of thinking, cunningness and resourcefulness. Semantic models based on conceptual integration were identified only in relation to professional participants – a lawyer. They actualise such values as professionalism, reliability, competence; stress associated with responsibility at work, danger and charm of the profession, special status; superiority; friendliness; help and superpowers of the professional.

The epistolary works of Russian writers (L.N. Tolstoy, I.S. Turgenev, A.P. Chekhov, M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, I.A. Goncharov, A.I. Herzen, N.S. Leskov, F.M. Dostoevsky, V.M. Garshin, V.G. Korolenko) contain rich linguistic material. The letters comprehended innovations in language and speech that appeared in the second half of the 19th century under the influence of extralinguistic factors, as well as internal laws of the development of the language system: actualization of certain word-formation types, semantic derivational models; tendencies to fill gaps in the word-formation and lexical system; the law of analogy, etc. As a result of this understanding, reflexive metalanguage contexts appeared in the letters, in which a native speaker evaluates a particular linguistic or speech fact. Traditionally, there are such criteria for determining the neological status of a unit and its analysis as chronological, local, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, functional, statistical, lexicographic. The presence of metalanguage reflection is also an important criterion for judging the novelty of a word or a meaning. The metalanguage contexts of the 19th century as a neological source have not been studied enough, there are no special studies of them in epistolary discourse. At the same time, they can provide valuable information for the Dictionary of the Russian Language of the 19th century, which is compiled at the Institute for Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg). The material for the study was 101 “reflexives”, extracted by the method of a complete sample from the letters of Russian writers. The methods of component, layerbased and contextual analysis were used. The article develops the content of the term metalanguage macroparameter of the diachronic study of neology, which means a set of particular criteria used to establish the neological status of a language/speech unit and its properties on the basis of metalanguage data available in reflexives of the second half of the 19th century. The chronological criterion makes it possible to evaluate the information contained in the reflexive about the time of the appearance of a neological unit, to determine the period within which it retained the effect of novelty, lack of development by the language system. The pragmatic criterion makes it possible to determine how a new word (meaning) was evaluated by native speakers: in terms of its compliance with the laws of the Russian language, social labeling, stylistic connotation, etc. The semantic criterion presupposes the identification in reflexives of data on changes in the semantic structure of a word (metaphorization of meaning, its terminologization or determinologization), on the use of a word in an occasional meaning, on the formation of a shade of meaning in speech.

The research aims to prove the validity of studying the confessional language personality (LP) by domestic written monuments and to identify the representational aspects and means of the Old Believers’ worldview. The research material is original texts of two diaries (1915–1923 and 1956–1975) and personal notes (1940–1980) written by the Old Believers’ community members living in the north of Tomsk Oblast. The total lexical volume of these sources is about 15 thousand word usages. The analysis is based on the sociolinguistic portraiture method, which involves describing linguistic facts reflected in texts of different levels (graphics, vocabulary, grammar, etc.) and the authors’ personal qualities indicating their religious attitudes. We first examine LPs recognized a priori as confessional, then texts in search for information verifying the hypothesis of analysis in them. This analysis is based on Yuri Karaulov’s idea of the three-level LP structure, as well as the experience of describing individual religious LPs presented in linguistic works by Tolstova (2007), Chikovani (2016), Plotnikova (2021). We revealed all the features identifying this confessional community: marginality, insularity, heightened selfconsciousness, self-sufficiency, traditionalism, eschatology. These features are related to each other. All of them are manifested textually by different means: special lexical items, grammatical forms, graphics, descriptions of people of one’s circle and their activities in the coordinates of natural time and reclaimed areas, or by a hidden polemic suggesting the reflection of only positive aspects of being in this description. The markers of Old Believers’ LP at the verbal(grammatical)-semantic level are lexical items with a confessional meaning (Isus, Rozhestvo, bratets, otche), a wide variation due to bookish and written linguistic means (noshch’, ezero, glagolit’, desnitsa, sil’nAGO, vtorYY), mastery of the semi-uncial writing norms. The traditional values of the Old Believer world (LP’s cognitive level) manifested in records include the affirmation of the equality of all community members; family-like closeness of like-minded people; the recognition of authorities only in terms of spirituality (otche – godfather); the high significance of labor, books, sacred texts; the realized need for strict adherence to all religious canons (for example, the admissibility of only passive hunting, voluntary assumption of functions of community chroniclers). In our opinion, the tasks of preserving the Old Believers’ sacred space that express the writers’ interests and goals reflected in the records constitute the pragmatic (motivational) level of the confessional LP. Although we revealed the three-level structure mainly on the material of two specific confessional LPs, there are reasons to correlate the identified features with the generalized Old Believer’s LP.

Although we revealed the three-level structure mainly on the material of two specific confessional LPs, there are reasons to correlate the identified features with the generalized Old Believer’s LP.","PeriodicalId":43853,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Tomskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta Filologiya-Tomsk State University Journal of Philology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76786887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Based on the material of publications published in the central Siberian periodicals, the article examines critical reception of Alexei Remizov’s works. Particular attention is paid to the analytical reviews of Elena A. Koltonovskaya, a Moscow columnist who collaborated with the Tomsk newspaper Sibirskaya zhizn’, and Nikolai F. Chuzhak-Nasimovich, a leading journalist and critic of the Irkutsk newspapers Vostochnaya zarya, Sibirskie otgoloski, Irkutskoe slovo. Remizov’s works “The Indefatigable Tambourine” and “The Cross Sisters” are analyzed in the context of the realistic and modernist approaches of critics to art, critics’ dialogue with representatives of the literary environment of Central Russia. As an example of a lively reaction to Remizov’s works, the author of the article presents the view of an anonymous reader, who opposed the Irkutsk critic on behalf of the local intelligentsia, called “The Indefatigable Tambourine” “the delirium of a madman” thus demonstrating not only an absolute rejection of the writer’s artistic style, but also unwillingness to perceive new literary trends. The author devotes a separate analytical section to the reviews of Remizov’s works, presented sporadically and written without interest in the writer’s personality and works; Remizov’s legacy was analyzed in the context of the creative approaches of his contemporaries. Particular attention is paid to the parodies published on the pages of the newspapers Sibirskie otgoloski (Tomsk) and Vechernie izvestiya (Irkutsk) in 1910 and 1918. In line with the editorial policy of the newspapers, oriented mainly towards the mass reader, who got an idea of the writer from publications in the press, parodies of contemporary authors’ works were perceived as a vivid characteristic, a kind of a literary portrait. The texts dedicated to Remizov ridiculed the specificity of his language and style, the peculiarities of his creative manner. His socio-political position, which was voiced in one of the key and iconic texts of the revolutionary time, “The Commandment to the Russian People”, was presented to the reader in an absolutely destructive ironic manner, distorting Remizov’s idea. As a result of the analysis, the author came to the conclusion about the formation of a controversial opinion about Remizov’s art, which developed both among the profane readers and the intellectuals. On the one hand, the analytical performances of Koltonovskaya and Chuzhak- Nasimovich contributed to the emergence of a deep and conscious appreciation of Remizov’s works; on the other hand, sporadic parodic critical responses deprived the reader of the opportunity to form a holistic view of the constants of the writer’s artistic world. Unlike numerous reviews published in St. Petersburg and Moscow, where Remizov’s artistic practices were perceived in the context of the contemporary historical and literary atmosphere, and the critics were analyzing the genesis of the author’s creative world, the publicatio
本文以在西伯利亚中部期刊上发表的出版物材料为基础,考察了对列米佐夫作品的批评接受情况。书中特别关注了与托木斯克《西伯利亚日报》(Sibirskaya zhzn)合作的莫斯科专栏作家埃琳娜·a·科尔托诺夫斯卡娅(Elena a . Koltonovskaya)和伊尔库茨克《东方日报》(Vostochnaya zarya)、《西伯利亚日报》(Sibirskie otgoloski)、《伊尔库茨克日报》(Irkutskoe slovo)的著名记者兼评论家尼古拉·f·丘扎克-纳西莫维奇(Nikolai F. Chuzhak-Nasimovich)的分析性评论。本文将列米佐夫的作品《不知疲倦的手鼓》和《十字架姐妹》放在现实主义和现代主义的艺术批评方法的背景下进行分析,并与俄罗斯中部文学环境的代表人物进行对话。作为对列米佐夫作品的生动反应的一个例子,这篇文章的作者提出了一个匿名读者的观点,他代表当地知识分子反对伊尔库茨克评论家,称之为“不知疲倦的手鼓”“疯子的谵癫”,从而表明不仅绝对拒绝作家的艺术风格,而且不愿意理解新的文学趋势。作者用了一个单独的分析部分来评论雷米佐夫的作品,偶尔出现,对作家的个性和作品不感兴趣;雷米佐夫的遗产是在他同时代的创造性方法的背景下分析的。1910年和1918年在托木斯克(Tomsk)和伊尔库茨克(Irkutsk)两家报纸上刊登的恶搞作品尤为引人注目。根据报纸的编辑政策,主要面向大众读者,读者从报纸上的出版物中了解作家,对当代作家作品的模仿被认为是一种生动的特征,一种文学肖像。献给雷米佐夫的文章嘲笑他的语言和风格的特殊性,嘲笑他创作方式的独特性。他的社会政治立场,在革命时期的关键和标志性文本之一“给俄罗斯人民的诫命”中表达出来,以一种绝对具有破坏性的讽刺方式呈现给读者,扭曲了雷米佐夫的想法。通过对列米佐夫艺术的分析,得出了在世俗读者和知识分子中形成一种有争议的观点的结论。一方面,Koltonovskaya和Chuzhak- Nasimovich的分析表演有助于对Remizov作品产生深刻而有意识的欣赏;另一方面,零星的模仿式的批评反应剥夺了读者对作家艺术世界的常量形成整体观点的机会。在圣彼得堡和莫斯科,雷米佐夫的艺术实践是在当代历史和文学氛围的背景下被理解的,评论家们分析作者创作世界的起源,与此不同的是,西伯利亚记者的出版物引起了读者对雷米佐夫的方式的反感、误解和拒绝,而不是想要理解作家天赋的具体细节。

The article describes the research of the narrative structure of gamebooks as an example of hypertext fiction. The aim of the research is to analyse the storyline of Raymond Queneau’s gamebook “A Story of Your Own” as a literary hypertext narrative, to define the peculiarities of its structural organization and to come up with a narrative scheme of the gamebook. The methodology of the research is based on the narrative analysis predicated by the invariant narrative scheme offered by William Labov and Joshua Waletzky. The research novelty lies in the fact that for the first time a narrative analysis of a book-game is carried out taking into account its narrative and hypertext characteristics and the hypernarrative structure of a bookgame is described and presented in the form of a scheme. The article dwells on the notions of the narrative, its prototype form and hypertext narrative as being a combination of hypertext and narrative. The author also defines the conception of the hypertext gamebook, follows its evolution. As a result of the analysis of Raymond Queneau’s minimalistic gamebook, the author identifies following isomorphic characteristics of a gamebook: nonlinearity and variation of the plot structure, fragmentarity and interactivity (the dialogue between the author, the reader and the text). The gamebook narrative structure utilizes all the narrative components (Abstract, Orientation, Complicating Action, Evaluation, Resolution, Coda), but there are some deviations from the scheme of the prototype linear narrative such as the combination of all narrative components in one, the substantial repetition of a component, the implementation of a component in a different textone, elimination, the presence of narrative polycomponents and their discontinuity, the implementation of a new component of Evaluation by the reader. All these deviations fulfil their definite functions inherent in the game-book. The gamebook structural abnormities are explained by the hypertext strategy of the narration and by interactivity. They create a new fiction space with numerous textual branches, make it possible to expand and to restrict the framework of the narration, boost the narrative dynamics and encourage readers’ activity. As a result of the research, the gamebook narrative scheme has been devised and described. This scheme includes potential authorial variations and it can be applied as the basis for the analysis of all kinds of hypertext narratives.

The article describes the formation of the construction “I + adjectival predicate” and its existence in the Russian language for three hundred years. A person’s ideas about one’s Self are manifested in the choice of adjectives, the composition of which is updated. The need to characterize oneself is considered in the article in connection with the data of diachronic psychology on the growth of the individual’s social independence and the increase in the value of the “I” in the 18th and 19th centuries. The “top” list of adjectives (unhappy, alive, stupid, good, kind, young, evil, alien, old, poor) was formed by the beginning of the 20th century and has survived to the present day. Observations on the general chronology of the appearance of new components within the framework of the construction allowed establishing that until the mid-1820s the construction “I + adjectival predicate” was rare, and the adjective was usually a definition with a predicate noun, but not an independent predicate. Now the adjective began to characterize a person regardless of one’s type of activity or social role. The total use of the construction has been growing since the 1850s. Adjectives- predicates usually represent a characteristic of a person according to various parameters: moral self-esteem, character traits, intelligence, health status or physical data, features of self-perception. A positive evaluation in the predicate is less common than a negative one. In the first half of the 20th century, personality characteristics related to the socio-political situation are increasingly appearing in the structure of the construction) and testifying to the exit of the perception of the Self into the philosophical sphere. The second half of the 20th century is characterized by the active exploitation of cliched means of autocharacteristics formed in the previous period; the growing popularity of tautologies and repetitions, the spread of the predicate by specifying the manifestations of the declared quality or explaining possible cause-and-effect relationships, detailing negative / positive characteristics; the growth of the use of adjectives denoting characteristics understandable to a narrow circle of people or ambivalent characteristics, as well as qualities condemned by public opinion. Changes in the usual discursive practices caused by political and economic upheavals lead to an increase in the individual’s need for self-identification and self-presentation, which is reflected in the described constructions.

The aim of the article is to analyze the symbolism of clouds in the idiostyle of Sergey Yesenin. The object of the analysis is the “atmospheric phenomena” symbolism within the semantic field of “nature”. The focus of the research is the specificity of the symbolism of clouds in the linguistic image of the poet’s world. The research methods of semantic analysis and linguistic description are used. The material for the analysis is fragments of poetic texts by Sergey Yesenin. An attempt is made to describe the mechanism of creating a symbolic sense, which is also a metaphorical sense and is based on associative, analogous thinking. The factual material illustrates the role of the semantic phenomenon of the contextual connotation of words (lexemes) in a poetic text. The article shows that the symbolism of clouds in Yesenin reflects certain phenomena, e.g., things (beard, lace), atmospheric phenomena (rain), place (cornfield), physical phenomena (chill), animals (horse), perception of the world (unhappiness, illusion, mystery), people (believers). The attention was paid to the exceptional transparency of the phenomenon of things (honey, smoke, threshold, blade, beard, lace, lake, torn clothing (outfit)), which create the so-called functional metaphor. The conducted analysis will contribute to the enrichment of knowledge on the creation of a model of mechanisms controlling symbolic-metaphorical (figurative) thinking, as well as to further studies on the functioning mechanism of associative (metaphorical) thinking. A possibility of comparative analysis of clouds symbolism in the idiostyles of other Russian or European poets is suggested.
