В статті представлено аналіз синтактико-композиційних і ритміко-інтонаційних особливостей англіканських Псалмів як окремого музично-речитативного виду молитов, що належать до релігійного дискурсу. Доведено, що Псалми, побудовані на основі синонімічного, антитетичного, синтетичного паралелізму і хіазму, характеризуються особливим, смисловим ритмом. В інтонаційному плані Псалми виступають яскравим зразком літургійного речитативу, який перебуває в граничній зоні орації: на межі співу й мовлення. Ключові слова: англіканські Псалми, релігійний дискурс, літургійний речитатив, паралелізм. Кравченко Н.А. Псалмы как особый вид молитвенных текстов. В статье представлен анализ синтактико-композиционных и ритмико-интонационных особенностей англиканских Псалмов как отдельного музыкально-речитативного вида молитв, относящихся к религиозному дискурсу. Доказано, что Псалмы, построенные на основе синонимического, антитетического, синтетического параллелизма и хиазма, характеризуются особым, смысловым ритмом. В интонационном плане Псалмы являются ярким примером литургического речитатива, находящегося в пограничной зоне орации: между пением и речью. Ключевые слова: англиканские Псалмы, религиозный дискурс, литургический речитатив, параллелизм. Kravchenko N. Psalms as a Peculiar Type of Prayer Texts. The present paper deals with the investigation of syntactic compositional and rhythmic intonation peculiarities of Anglican Psalms which are considered to be a special musical recitative type of prayers belonging to religious discourse. There have been singled out those syntactic devices, namely, synonymic, antithetic, synthetic parallelism and chiasm which lead to the creation of a peculiar sense rhythm of English Psalms. A special status of Psalms among other prayer text realisations is explained not only by their artistic value or their importance in Christian life, but also by their belonging to hesychast practice of a "brain-heart" prayer which contributes to the human "opening" understood as a first stage of synergy of divine and human energies achievement. Implicit dialogue with Almighty, taking place in Psalms, is formulated as "simultaneity with Christ" which can be rendered as "openness to Christ". The main aims of a religious discourse-strengthening in faith, Divine knowledge transmission and prayerful communication with God-are concentrated in these Biblical hymns.
The research aims to reveal the peculiarities of the linguistic means of imperative utterances which function in the lecture and sermon discourses. They encourage students/parishioners to engage in the learning process fully. The following tasks were formulated: to categorize imperative utterances in the view of characteristic features of the mentioned discourses; to characterize the lexical-syntactic peculiarities of each type of imperative phrases. The object of the research is an oral English-language institutional discourse of two kinds – academic (lecture) and religious (sermon). The subject of the study is the lexical and syntactic arrangement of imperative utterances in the lecture and sermon discourses. To achieve the aim, both general scientific and unique linguistic research methods found application. Conclusions of the study are as follows: the functioning of imperative utterances in the sermon and lecture discourse is determined by such linguistic and extralinguistic factors as the expressiveness/implicitness of the imperative constructions, the syntactic structure of the imperative constructions, the communicative-pragmatic orientation, and the targeted nature of the order/ localization of the imperative construction in the compositional text structure. In our work, direct and indirect explicit constructions, aimed at an immediate action, are viewed as operational imperative statements. According to the communicative-pragmatic orientation and considering the temporal signs, we distinguish two main types of motivation: simultaneous and post-communicative. The communicative-pragmatic orientation criterion also makes it possible to single out constructions intended to induce physical/mental impact (in lectures) and spiritual/mental impact (in sermons). The prospect of further investigation is studying non-verbal features of lecture and sermon discourses.
