Resumen

El artículo considera los problemas del modelado del lenguaje de la imagen del mundo, permitiendo recrear los conceptos básicos, temas de la realidad que representan. Un lugar especial está ocupado entre ellos por el modelado de la imagen subjetiva de una personalidad carismática, que de una u otra manera personifica el sentido de la vida de su época (Pedro I, madre Teresa, Hierro Dama, Teresa Mayo, etc.). La atención se centra en el modo espiritual, físico e ideológico de la imagen del lenguaje creado, su interacción sugerente y el desarrollo de la sociedad. La peculiaridad de la imagen lingüística es que la persona se recrea de forma sinérgica, no está fuera de la actitud subjetiva del autor del texto, ya sea en los medios de comunicación o en los textos artísticos e históricos. Aunque subjetiva, la imagen lingüística se crea a través de la interpretación del habla de las realidades. La imagen lingüística encarna el mundo real con la ayuda de dinámicas semánticas de palabras, representando ideologías, culturemas y conceptos como construcciones cognitivas-discursivas de un evento socialmente significativo.

Palabras clave: Imagen lingüística, personalidad lingüística, evento cognitivo-comunicativo, ideologeme, cultureme, concepto.

Introduction

The problem of modeling a language image personality (historically real or its literary image) arises in connection with the active development is at the epicenter of the picture of the world that of an adequate methodology for reconstruction of the text recreates. different speech genres of the world picture in the texts. At the same time, those fragments of the In modern science, a new methodology for the sphere of concepts that are personified by human complex analysis of a literary text has been charismatic images representing a certain epoch developed in the context of the historical at a certain time (such as Peter I in retrospect or paradigm. Under the influence of the new the personalities of modern reality, whose names critiques – psychoanalysis, archetypology, are repeated in the media incessantly (the Iron reader’s response, feminism and Lady – Margaret Thatcher or Theresa May)) are deconstructivism – “history, like literature, is modeled, which raises the emphasized problem represented by text, discourse, which manifests itself to a number of top-priority ones. The an infinite number of meanings and senses”. The modeling of a language image in the text of any theoretical basis is built on the ideas of leading speech genre (literary, mass-media, etc.) is foreign (J. Lakof, M. Johnson, C. Fillmore, R. mainly based on the postulates of two paradigms Langaker, R. Jekendoff, etc.) and domestic (E. S. generated by modern – cognitive Kubryakova, Y. D. Apresyan, Y. S. Stepanov, linguistic poetics and discourse episteme. By N.D. Arutyunova, etc.) linguists. reference to their significance for mapping the reality, we make the attempts to apply new The author’s use of hypothetical-deductive and linguistic paradigms to the traditional object of inductive methods, as well as intralingual the science of language: text, explication of matching techniques, cognitive interpretation of culturemes and ideologemes the frame embedded the metaphor-ideologeme, cognitive mapping, in its sphere of concepts. Both of the latter analysis of the cognitive complexity of texts concepts are closely related to the realities of the (Suedfeld & Tetlock, 1977), which are corresponding historical period, although they determined by synergetic complexity, are should not be identified. V. G. Gak, who necessary as constructive research techniques to developed the penetrate into implicit complexity of the world. transformations, created at his time the theoretical platform for adequate interpretation The dominant techniques of a complex world of the correlation of such close categories (Gak, outlook “are holism, self-organization, emergent 1998). All three categories are basic for properties, ability to adapt” (Zwin, 2006). The discursive-pragmatic modeling of a language author’s thought should be relevant to the image. complexity of the communicative event: include multi-vector senses in contextual holisticity Methodology (integrity), nonlinearity and spontaneity, which is especially important for identifying the content Methodological Framework of the Study is the side of mass media texts and the discourse principle of anthropocentrism, since the analysis of the fiction and historical text.

For an understanding of a specific historical epistemes, ideologeme is not only a knowledge epoch, historical discourse includes primary holder but also an expression of specific relation historical sources and works of fiction. The to objects of being. Moreover, ideologeme (in information contained in the primary sources is our case, the proper name – Mother Theresa) interpreted in the secondary ones, and a does not express a personal attitude toward the multitude of interpretations creates a special reality — its attitude is determined by the public mental space, in which the author’s views and interests of that fragment of society, whose message are key. The hypothesis of the study is interests it expresses. This is evidenced by the the assumption that the relationship between introduction of the ideologeme into the language and the real world is expressed by a progressive consciousness of all mankind: language personality. The word, of course, does suffice it to say that the monastic congregation not reflect realities, represents the corresponding founded by Mother Theresa has 400 branches in vision, which is formed in his consciousness of 111 countries of the world and 700 houses of the communicants by the images of the mercy in 120 countries. They have been founded surrounding world. The imaging of the reality is in the regions of natural disasters and the areas of carried out in concepts (ideologemes and poverty. culturemes) that are idiosyncratically expressed by discourses of different speech genres (fiction From our point of view, the discursive-pragmatic and historical and mass media). modeling of the linguistic image of concrete personalities, who are at the forefront of the Ideologemic and Culturemic Image history of a society, requires several implicit phenomena to be understood: According to V.G. Gak, realities are culture- bound items (objects, functions, customs, а) the correlation of cognitive structures with behavioral characteristics of a particular person); linguistic ones, as well as the correlation of cultureme, as defined by V.V. Vorobiyov, is a linguistic and everyday world images; complex inter-level unit that integrates the b) the functional significance of language in the linguistic and speech representations of the implementation of the processes of perception concept (Vorobiyov, 2008); its content plane is and understanding of the reality, in the an amalgam of linguistic meaning and cultural implementation of its conceptualization and meaning; its plane of expression is a synergy of categorization; the verbal sign and meaning. In this modification, c) personality’s frame of mind, which served as such a complex unit in the science of language the prototype of the linguistic image, turns into a linguocultureme. Such a formal and personifying “his / her” era. informative unity of the linguocultureme makes it possible to relate it to certain fragments of the An attempt is being made to apply new linguistic subjectively perceived real picture of the world, paradigms to the traditional object of the science its significant realities – the objects or situations. of language: an archaicized literary text, Ideologeme is an ideological construct, which is explication of its linguistic-culturological and a system or a consistent set of views and concepts idiostylistic potential laid down primarily in the that make up the consciousness of the personality obsolete lexicon (archaic and historical that is chosen as the prototype of the discursive- ). The theoretical research platform is pragmatic modeling (Alefirenko & Nurtazina, based on the cognitive-linguistic development of 2018) of a particular image of the world. A concepts of luminaries of linguistics rich in special image of the world was embodied, for inexhaustible linguopoetic ideas, who were the example, by Mother Theresa – the universal pioneers of the national linguistic poetics, favorite as the founder of the women’s monastic shedding light on the discursive-cognitive congregation “Order of Mercy”, which is in understanding of the literary text in general, and charge of the care of the poor and the sick. She the historical novel in particular (B. A. Larin. A. gained not only religious adoration (the Catholic A. Potebnya, V.V. Vinogradov). This kind of Church ranked her blessed) but civil recognition. fruitful research combining linguistic classics and modern paradigmatic innovations have She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and in already formed a distinctive feature of the 1997 she received the highest US award – the Belgorod linguistic poetic school (Alefirenko & Congressional Gold Medal. With her wealth of Nurtazina, 2018; Alefirenko, 2013; Kosharnaya, historical experience and way of life, she, having 2014). Via this convergence of scientific become an ideologeme, represented a certain epistemes, a new technique for the integrated social community, reflecting and evaluating study of the author’s linguistic personality is reality in a special way.

In the light of cognitive linguistic poetics, frame of the text of a historical work architectonics of historically significant text translates philosophical reasoning about genetic serves as a special “house of Being”. Such a vivid link of language and the people into a discursive and catchy cognitive metaphor for discursive plane, if by discourse we mean not a speech, as linguistic poetics contains a rather deep meaning. the researchers of the text often do, but a According to M.

This the first necessary level from which nations get scientific metaphor (“house of Being”, the the possibility of an autochthonous verbal and dwelling of the language) leads to understanding artistic development.

Without a discursive analysis that includes the domestic and foreign economies. It would seem principle of cognitivism, which is important for that Theresa May’s election as the 76th Prime understanding the discursive mechanism of Minister of the Great Britain is the solution to all emerging value-semantic aspect of literary or problems. Teresa May immediately known mass-media text, it is difficult to imagine the publicly as a new “Iron Lady”. When she entered implementation of the theoretical ideas about the Number 10 amid the chaotic fallout from the EU embodiment of author’s world image in the referendum in the summer of 2016, May practical linguistic poetics. portrayed herself as a steely, competent, pragmatic leader who would unite a bitterly The way of expressing the individual author’s divided country, put Brussels in its place, and intention in mass-media or literary text, the way steer the UK into a bright future as an of representing the language image is idiostyle. independent trading nation (Buzzfeed). Having Idiostyle participates in creating literary picture become prime minister, Theresa May positioned of the world, which is a reflection of reality in the herself as a “strong, competent and pragmatic” form of spiritual values important for the leader who could unite the country, put Brussels linguistic culture of a given historical time in place, and lead Britain into a bright future as experienced by the author and expressed in the an independent trading nation. However, the author’s text. The emergence and development of metaphorical nomination “The Iron Lady” cognitive linguistics makes it possible to proved to be “a pile of rusting metal Brexit”. So, consider the image-ideology of a communicator the Guardian publishes an article: Theresa May: and its role in the cultural heritage of the people. the new Iron Lady or a heap of rusting Brexit metal. The unresolved question concerning The lexical component of the text is a means of Brexit, the lack of a trade agreement with the EU, expressing a thesaurus that represents an image the split in parliament contributes to the of not only historical but also modern linguistic formation of a new image of Theresa May as a personality, and therefore, it is in the vocabulary politician through various means of language, that the world outlook of a modern political mostly ironic, and sometimes even sarcastic figure is reflected. Thus, the image of “the Iron metaphors a heap of rusting Brexit metal, a piece Lady” has long been entrenched in the minds of of near obsolete computer junk , the Amstrad the modern British. Originally, this nomination Maybot, an obstacle to resolving Brexit. This is was merited by the 71st Prime Minister of Great supported syntactically by rhetorical questions: Britain, Margaret Thatcher, for her determined When is a delay not a delay?

Morphological means many on the British Isles left oppose what of expression also intensify the situation. The use Thatcher did and what she stood for, there is a of comparative and superlative degrees of quiet, begrudging perhaps, but unmistakable comparison shows dissatisfaction with Theresa admiration of her strong and unswerving May’s political actions.
