The current study addresses the peculiarities of expressing the linguistic category of emotivity on the basis of the English literary works of the XIX c. and XXI c. written by the female authors. The analysis focuses on the syntactic expressive means, particularly, exclamatory sentences, repetitions and partial constructions. The conducted research suggests that the impact of the latter leads to better perception of an emotionally coloured certain life situation that is depicted by a narrator with the help of the corresponding language means. The authors aim to explore the samples of the syntactic expressive means from the literary works under investigation and to reveal the correlation between the syntactic structure and the emotivity of the text.
Phonetic semantics is a phenomenon of natural involuntary phonetically motivated connection between phonemes and the non-sound signs of denotation, which underlies the nomination. In other words, the denotation of the nomination in sound imitation is represented by objects, phenomena, processes, which are characterized by the ability to form sounds that are subconsciously associated with these objects, phenomena, etc. Following the principles of sound symbolism, the denotation of the nomination is represented by objects, phenomena, processes, which are not characterized by sound production. Phonosemantics needs to take into account two aspects of the fundamental principle of an involuntary/arbitrary linguistic sign. The first involves the general relationship of phenomena and objects of reality. In the history of science, there are examples of connections that are established between seemingly incompatible phenomena. The second aspect is related to the fact that the recognition of the arbitrariness of a linguistic sign means the independence of the relationship between the signified and the signifying, which contradicts the system-wide principle of hierarchy, according to which each element of the higher system can be considered as an independent lower system. The sound complex with its meaning has a constantly changing dynamic nature. The processes that take place in language cause constant changes, and this can not but affect the connection between sound and the meaning of the word. The principle of analogy was extremely developed in the early stages of language formation. And, as a consequence of the process of sound changes ceasing, the principle of metaphorical analogy continues performing such functions, obscuring the primary connections between sound and the meaning of the lexeme. Therefore, it seems natural that sound changes are expressed in changes by analogy. Both sound change and the change by analogy involve the creative factor. The study aims to set the level of motivation of the German sound [b]. The sound under study dominates across the continuum of concepts such as water, chatter, movement and fear. Application of such modern research methods as phonosemantic, descriptive and comparative-historical analysis enabled obtaining a palette of semantic associative phonetic meanings of the sound [b]. The analysis of the German vocabulary demonstrated the sound’s semantic charge at the level of both individual lexical units and the text as a whole. There are ongoing studies in the field of both Germanic and other languages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
