Phonological Units

This paper presents an outline of an autosegmental-metrical analysis of German intonation adopting Gussenhoven’s (1983, 2005) approach to Dutch intonation. A features-based interpretation of the phonological units is given, which is based on an analysis of tonal contrasts. This analysis suggests that tones of different tone classes bear semantic features that relate to the mutual belief space, information packaging, conversational structure, thematic structure, conceptual structure, and speaker attitudes.

Лирический цикл М. И. Цветаевой «Скифские» в статье рассматривается в связи с литературными, фольклорными, эпистолярными и документальными источниками, способствовавшими формированию оригинальной образной, мотивно-тематической структуры произведения. Композиционные, стилистические и лексико-семантические особенности цикла отражают идейно-эстетические взгляды поэта в период эмиграции. Историко-биографический контекст «Скифских» свидетельствует о взаимообусловленности в мировоззрении М. И. Цветаевой жизни и творчества. The lyrical cycle «Scythian» by M.I. Tsvetaeva in the article is considered in connection with the literary, folk, epistolary and documentary sources that contributed to the formation of the original figurative, motive-thematic structure of the work. Compositional, stylistic and lexical-semantic features of the cycle reflect the ideological and aesthetic views of the poet during the period of emigration. The historical and biographical context of the «Scythian» testifies to the interdependence in the worldview of M. I. Tsvetaeva’s life and work.

The Aesthetic

Although most title sequences of Ken Russell's films consist of superimpositions of a static text on film images, the elaborate title sequence to Altered States (1981) was specially designed by Richard Greenberg, who had already acquired a reputation for his innovative typography thanks to his work on Superman (1978) and Alien (1979). Greenberg continued these typographic experiments in Altered States. Although both the film and its title sequence were not personal projects for Russell, a close analysis of the title sequence reveals that it functions as a small narrative unit in its own right, facilitating the transition of the spectator from the outside world of the cinema to the inside world of filmic fiction and functioning as a prospective mise-en-abyme and matrix of all the subsequent narrative representations and sequences of the film to come. By focusing on this aspect of the film, the article indicates how the title sequence to Altered States is tightly interwoven with the aesthetic and thematic structure of the film, even though Russell himself may have had less control over its design than other parts of the film.
