Dependence
of expressiveness and stylistic coloring of a noun of a situational uniqueness on
its semantic filling
The stylistics
investigate not only
the elements of language, but their expressive potential, i.e. stylistic
function.
The question of
stylistic function of a noun at the level of morphology in this or that
statement is raised in grammar. There is a number of works where this question
is considered in details by I. V. Arnold, V. V. Vinogradov, I. R. Galperin and
others. Stylistic resources of morphology is still being investigated not so
much. Stylistic functions of a noun are considered in literature in connection
with an article, category of number (1), and others.
The research of
expressive potential of the nouns used in a form of plural, unusual to them,
will be carried out on the basis of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek
Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce" (3).
In this article
expressive opportunities, operating conditions and structures of the nouns used
in unusual grammatical meanings with unusual subject correlation are being
investigated. A transposition, due to I. V. Arnold’s definition, “the use of
nouns in unusual grammatical meanings with unusual subject correlation where
there is a violation typically grammatical in the communications gives the author the chance to express emotions and
the relation to a subject of the speech.” (2)
The meaning of a
word is lexical (the subject and material contents) and grammatical (value
inherent in grammatical classes and categories).
"He gave the struggle his attention, as an
idler might observe the feet of the juggler, without interest in the outcome"
(3,14) indicates the words "struggle",
"idler", "juggler" in the offer of the designated
subject and bears information on number of the described subjects. At the
change of a grammatical form the grammatical meaning changes, but lexical
remains invariable. At relative independence both values are connected among
themselves and, mutually caused. The lexical meaning represents difficult
structure, and its denotative aspect makes a basis of dictionary definitions of
the explanatory dictionaries and the communication
possible.
"Encompassed in a luminous cloud, of which he was now merely the
fiery heart, without material substance, he swung through unthinkable arcs of
oscillation, like a vas pendulum."
(3,13) B modern English the word "a
vast pendulum" means "the
pendulum, alternation of the political parties which are in power, punishment,
a penalty, a penalty, a special envelope for government correspondence,"
contains denotative information but in the stylistic relation it is neutral.
Neutral words for the stylistic purposes as M. M. Bakhtin noted, "… in artistic
speech gains new qualities, earlier not inherent in it: with the ability to be
in the semantic relations with distance located units, at the same time to
realize not one, some values to borrow
emotionally estimated components from
the syntactic structure and a direct lexical environment". (4)
As for other
component of lexical value - connotive aspect, E. G. Belyavskaya defines
"… reflected by the word, information, additional in relation to material
contents of the word, about the relation speaking to the designated subject or
the phenomenon". (5)
The connotative
aspect is an emotiveness, estimation and expressivity.
Having analyzed
the nouns of the situational uniqueness an emotive component of connotative value can be recognized in
nouns. The emotiveness as a component of a connotation represents information
on the emotional relation to the designated subject or the phenomenon fixed in
value, i.e. "information on the designated subject and emotional
perception of this subject". (5)
Emotive component
of connotative value of a noun of situational uniqueness in ”A whiz and rattle of grapeshot the branches
high above the among his head roused him from his dream", where a
dictionary definition of "whiz"
- "whistle", and colloquial "fine
fellow" and "something
remarkable" in singular is presented as the American slang.
As a component of
a connotation it is difficult to differentiate the estimation with an
emotiveness, they are interconnected. Stylistically the marked lexicon contains
the mixed components of connotative value. The stylistic component of connotative
value is inherent in words which have a neutral synonym.
Stylistically
neutral out of a context develop stylistic connotations only thanks to an
unusual morphological form and an external context.
For example: "Keen, poignant agonies seemed to shoot from his neck downward
through every fiber of his body and limbs." (3,13)
The immediate
environment in the above offer also possesses a stylistic component of connotative
value. And the words possessing emotional, estimated stylistically more than
others are predisposed with components of connotative value to development of
strong expressional connotations, that is are nigerentny. Emotional, estimated,
stylistic components of connotative value with an unusual grammatical form give
to the statement expressiveness and height.
The structure of
a contradiction can be various. Some units with a usual positive assessment
which is realized in their semantic structure can act as a contradiction. For
example:
"The water, touched to gold by the early sun,
brooding mists under the banks at some distance down the stream, fort,
soldiers, piece of drift-all had distracted him. And now he became conscious of
a new disturbance. Striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound
which he could neither ignore nor understand, sharp, distinct, metallic
percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the
same ringing quality." (3,11)
From everything
stated it is possible to draw the following conclusions that nouns at the use
in an unusual grammatical form develops so strong expressional connotations
that not only the microcontext, but also a macrocontext gets stylistic coloring. Literature
