Концепт рассматривается как факт культуры и формирует систему знаний человека о мире, он позволяет нам конкретизировать наиболее характерные признаки изучаемой нами культуры. Цель данной статьи - выявление значимости лингвокультурного концепта «жизнелюбие» для понимания индивидуальной картины мира автора. Задача исследования состоит в том, чтобы описать и проанализировать лингвистические средства, которые наполняют один из характерных для греческой культуры концептов, на основе художественного текста, так как художественный текст предлагает авторские интерпретации ключевых понятий, составляющих национальную картину мира. Актуальность данного исследования определяется необходимостью выявить значимость лингвистических и этноспецифических особенностей в изучении поведенческих характеристик народа и греческого менталитета в ходе анализа языковых единиц и сопутствующих культурологических факторов, наполняющих концепт «жизнелюбие» в индивидуальной авторской картине мира. В статье рассматриваются примеры и из художественного текста «Грек Зорба» греческого классика Никоса Казандзакиса, анализируются языковые средства выражения указанного концепта. Содержание данного текста насыщено культурными, историческими и географическими понятиями и характеристиками, что позволило нам взять его за основу исследования культуры и менталитета Греции. В процессе изучения материала, а именно греческого художественного текста, мы применили методы эмпирического и теоретического исследования. Также использовались компонентный и контекстуальный методы изучения. В данном исследовании отмечается влияние концепта на языковую личность, так как языковая личность является собирательным образом представителя определенных культурно-языковых ценностей.

The concept is considered as a fact of culture and forms a system of human knowledge about the world, it allows us to reveal the most characteristic features of the Greek culture we are studying. The aim of this article is to identify the significance of the linguistic-cultural concept «Love of life» to understand the writer’s individual picture of the world. The objective of the study is to characterize the linguistic means that form one of the basic concepts of the Greek worldview based on the literary text, since the literary text shows author’s interpretations of key concepts that make up the national picture of the world. While studying this topic and analyzing the language units considered in the article, we were able to represent the relevance of the concept «Love of life» and related cultural factors to understand the author’s picture of the world, and this also allowed us to demonstrate the importance of linguistic and ethno-specific features in the study of the behavioral characteristics and Greek mentality. The article discusses the examples from the literary text «Zorba the Greek» by the Greek classic Nikos Kazantzakis and analyzes the linguistic means of expression. The content of this text is saturated with cultural, historical and geographical characteristics, which allowed us to consider it as a basis for studying the culture and mentality of Greece. In the direct study of textual material, empirical and theoretical research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison, as well as component and contextual methods of study. The article underlines the influence of the concept on the linguistic personality formation, as we know the linguistic personality is a generalized image of the storage of cultural and linguistic values.

The Given

The article is devoted to the analysis of the novel by a contemporary writer, E.E. Schmitt “Noah‟s child” in terms of the realization of the important philosophical problems, updated with the time. The novelty of the given material is due primarily to the choice of the author, whose work is still to be reflected. This article examines the philosophical issues of existence implemented at various levels of the literary text: from the title to its symbolism. Drawing on biblical and historical material, in a novelistic genre E. Schmitt managed to present his vision of the problems of faith and disbelief, identity of the nation, the moral choice, etc. While not denying the value of the God in human perception of the world, the writer asserts the idea that the man himself is responsible for all what is happening on the ground and in the society, so the novel “Noah‟s child” can be seen as a passionate appeal to contemporaries to strive for the harmony of coexistence.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the transcultural literary text as a space for the “meeting” of languages and cultures. The modern world exists in the conditions of global transculturalism (F. Ortiz), when sign systems interact, giving rise to new images of the world. The language, which translates into a wide communicative space the elements of the original culture for the author, experiences its influence on itself. The literary text acquires multidimensionality and “convexity” due to the inclusion in it of alternative genre forms, narrative strategies and tactics, archetypes. On the basis of the novel series “Dreams of the Damned”, written by the Kazakh writer A. Zhaksylykov, we demonstrate in this work the mechanisms of “internal intercultural interaction” between Kazakh and Russian cultures, using the methods of hermeneutic commentary, mythopoetic and narrative analysis. We come to the conclusion that cultural content requires the creation of adequate forms of artistic representation. The result is the creation of new novel forms of depiction, the complication of the artistic images of the world and the strengthening of the empathic effect that a literary text can provide.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the subject of the article is the question of the influence of L. D. Trotsky [Bronstein], who was one of the key leaders of Bolshevism, who headed the October Revolution, on the worldview and creativity of M. M. Prishvin, which has not yet been considered in the European studies. It is shown that in Russian art it is difficult to find an artist of the word, whose work would be to the same extent conditioned by the influence of the ideological and political context. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time an attempt was made to show how, through individual characters in his works, Prishvin in an artistic and figurative form reflected the characteristic features of behavior, everyday habits, the style of thinking and speech of Trotsky. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of previously unpublished due to censorship restrictions of the writer’s works: the story “The World Cup”, journalism of the revolutionary years and the 18-volume Diary, which became available to the reader only in the post-Soviet period. It is shown that, depicting Trotsky as a “pharmacist” who, according to his recipes, is trying to create the future of a huge country, Prishvin seeks not only to artistically reflect his moral appearance and personality traits, but also to convey the features of the ideological and political struggle in Soviet society.

The introduction of the English-American Academic Fiction Genre in the 20th and 21st centuries was a striking event in the world of literature. The genre was born in 1952 by two pieces of work published simultaneously – “The Groves of Academe” by Mary McCartney and “Lucky Jim” by K. Amis. Numerous talented authors followed the two ones, among them Malcolm Bradbury (1932-2000), Phillip Rote (1933), Alison Laurie (1926), John Maxwell Coetzee (1940) and Francine Prose (1947). The novels of this genre depict a whole chain of events where student-lecturer-family relationships are reflected. Academic Fiction Genre already has established and unique features. Each novel provides a detailed description of the academic setting where the main events unfold. Initially, light mockery was typical of this genre which, along with the gradual disappointment of the authors, developed into bitter and deep irony and later into tragedy. The climax of the novel is either a ball or an evening party where the main problems of the novel are highlighted and where the possible solutions to these problems are delicately mentioned. The present article discusses the introduction of the Academic Fiction Genre which has become one of the meaningful events in modern literature since it provides an opportunity to look at the inter-relations between an individual and the society and evaluate the genre peculiarities from a new perspective.

Постановка задачи. В статье рассматриваются средства выразительности в романе Дж. Джойса «Улисс», в тексте которого присутствуют практически все возможные стилистические приемы и фигуры речи. Базируясь на семантической двуплановости как отличительном признаке большинства образных средств, автор пытается проследить механизмы формирования языкового инструментария, характерного для модернистского произведения. Производится попытка понять, как происходит процесс порождения знаков в «Улиссе» и как их интерпретировать. Для этого особое внимание уделяется группе слов с большим семиотическим потенциалом. Результаты. Установлены некоторые языковые средства выразительности, характерные для романа «Улисс». Их отличительной особенностью является авторская индивидуальность, усиленная специфичностью романа «потока сознания», когда потенциал языка используется по-новому. Выводы. Образные средства способны придавать фигуральность любому художественному тексту. Однако создание модернистского романа «Улисс» потребовало от Джойса особых усилий в формировании языковых средств. Характерный признак данного произведения, поток сознания, спровоцировал использование лингвистического резерва несколько иным способом - бесконечными парадоксами, запутанными символами и ассоциациями. Нередко последнее связано с изменением семиозиса. Так, специфические средства создания образности в «Улиссе», заключающиеся в гротескности и эксцентричности, основываются на нарушении нормы языка, что приводит к многократному усилению эстетико-художественного эффекта в романе. Statement of the problem. The article examines the means of expression in J. Joyce's novel Ulysses , which contains virtually all possible stylistic devices: phonological, morphological, grammatical, syntactic and lexical. Based on the semantic duality as a distinctive feature of the majority of figurative means, the author tries to trace the mechanisms of the linguistic tools formation that could be characteristic of a modernist work. An attempt is made to understand how the process of generating signs in Ulysses takes place and thus how it can be interpreted. For this, special attention is paid to a group of words with great semiotic potential. Results. Some linguistic means of expressiveness characteristic of the novel Ulysses have been identified. Their main feature is the author's individuality reinforced by the specificity of the "stream of consciousness" novel, when the potential of the language is used in a new way. Conclusion. Different stylistic devices and expressive language means are able to make an impression and add figurativeness to any literary text. However, the creation of the modernist novel Ulysses required special efforts from Joyce in the formation of linguistic means. A distinctive feature of this work, the stream of consciousness, provoked the use of the linguistic potential in a slightly different way creating endless paradoxes, confusing symbols and associations. Often the latter is associated with the change in semiosis generation. Thus, the specific means of creating imagery in Ulysses lead to the language norm violation. In its turn, the grotesque and eccentricity bring multiple increase in the aesthetic and artistic effect in the novel.

Love Letters

AbstractAfter Love Letters by Christopher Strachey in 1954, Stochastische Texte by the mathematician Theo Lutz in 1959 were the first successful attempt in the world to create a literary text through a computer. In 2019, Lutz’s archive was acquired by the German Literature Archive (Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach). It includes a large number of previously undiscovered and unpublished items which made possible the attempt to reconstruct the generation of the text in a number of steps. Lutz’s experiment was inspired by the philosopher Max Bense, whose work was assisted by a young student, Rul Gunzenhäuser, who would himself later prove to be a pioneer in informatics. It took its starting point from words extracted from the novel Das Schloss by Franz Kafka. Lutz subsequently wrote a computer program in order to generate a randomly assembled text on a Zuse Z 22 machine. In a final step, the text was then poetically revised by the author.

Science-Fiction Novel Liberates Itself from Political DuesThe present issue of "Colloquia Humanistica" contains Professor Ryszard Handke's two last essays, until now unpublished. They belong together and deal with the works of Stanisław Lem, namely with the creation of a sui generis dictionary of this outstanding sci-fi writer. Handke highlights the coming of a new age in the evolution of the genre, already foreshadowed in Lem's early novels. This new sci-fi abandons uncritical beliefs in the power of science leading man to the conquest of cosmos and to a perfection of Earth's civilization. In Handke's analysis, in his first essay discussing "Astronauts" and "Magellan's Nebula," and in the second devoted to "Eden," Lem's evolution starts from a blind faith in the Marxist progress of civilization based on materialistic technocracy and moves towards an increasingly open polemic with this point of view, clearly demonstrating the beginning of doubts or of caution against an excessive faith in progress. The author of the essays is principally interested in the linguistic layer of the novels, the sci-fi terminology designating phenomena, objects or equipments from the imagined future. Handke analyzes the world reflected in the language and attempts to assemble a corpus invented by Lem in order to create an illusion of the future. The language seen from the perspective of the two texts remains a meaningful platform, but not a transparent one. This is where the space of the author's game with the readers begins, the space of inter-textual, cultural references, where the mentioned earlier naiveté of the older science fiction breaks down and an element of doubt, surprise, or irony surfaces frequently. The use of concrete linguistic means is conditioned by the creation of a world displaying a clearly determined character that borrows its particularities from the linguistic image of a fictional quasi-reality. It also results from the applied technique of story telling, from ways of verifying narration and from mechanisms of the reader's understanding of the meaning of words as building blocks of the presented world. The first novel discussed by Handke – "Astronauts" (1951), remains in the essayist's view still in the optimistic current of science fiction; the "fantastic" terminology, while already foreshadowing Lem's later plays with words, is deeply rooted in the traditional perception of the technical world. In the later novel – "Magellan's Nebula" – the focus of interest veers to how to construct with words a world in extreme conditions, i. e. when mimetic support in creation and in spelling out relations between the linguistic signs and what they designate, is curtailed. That is why, the attention is not centered on the spaces where the author takes advantage of the possibility of referring to phenomena and names known to the broadcaster and to the receiver in the real reality. The narrational situation constructed in the novel relies also on the premise that not much had changed in these fields, despite the passage of centuries, because human nature remains significantly the same. Both novels, while a system of "fantastic" concepts has been imposed on the presented world, reflect in fact current socio-political problems that cannot be grasped outside of the context provided by the communist faith in progress. "Eden" on the other hand, shows Lem's wavering in his faith in progress. In the novel, Earth people face another civilization; the author of the essay compares this narrational situation to the building of utopia, only situated in the Cosmos. The linguistic layer here resembles Lem's mature works, where irony in the creation of words keeps the readers at a distance when they view the displayed world and makes them ponder the author's intention.

Abstract: The world picture in a literary text is created by linguistic means, while it reflects the individual picture of the world in the mind of the writer and is embodied in the selection of elements of the content of the work of art; the selection of the language means used; in the individual use of figurative means. The artistic picture of the world is a secondary, mediated the world picture, and it is mediated twice - by language and individually - by the author's conceptual picture of the world. Keywords: artistic reality, worldview, methodological characteristics, reality, linguistic approach.
