Abstract

The article considers fairytale precedent names selected from English-language media discourse texts based on cognitive linguistics. Coverage of the fairytale precedent names linguocognitive features was carried out within the framework of conceptual analysis that allowed revealing the connection between linguistic and conceptual structures. The study material includes cited statements containing fairytale anthroponyms posted on Internet sites and in the English Web 2020 data corpus (enTenTenTen20) of the Sketch Engine application. This corpus is an English corpus of texts collected from the Internet between 2019 and 2021. Based on the analysis of this material, a hypothesis has been proposed that the vast majority of fairytale precedent names that function in English-language media discourse are formed on the analogy principle. The study found that characteristic of media texts is the use of precedent names in metaphorical models which are likened to entities belonging to different conceptual spheres. In this case,the comparison of objects is carried out by the feature joint to both compared entities. In the analyzed material, the metaphor is represented by the models “a PERSON-man is like an ANIMAL-mythonym” and “an OBJECT-plant is like the ANIMAL-mythonym”. In the formation of the fairytale precedent names, the principle of analogy is also used in which two entities belonging to the same conceptual sphere are compared. As a rule, such similarity of a comparative (what is compared) and a correlate (what is compared with) occurs according to the full degree of similarity. The ability to characterize other objects of reality is explained in a prototype aspect of fairytale precedent names namely their similarity as an exemplary class representative to the leading property of the primary referent. The study results indicated that the analog comparison frequency (87,72%) of the fairytale precedent names is much higher than metaphorical (12,28%) that confirms the proposed hypothesis. Thus, we can conclude that in the modern English-language media discourse the fairytale precedent names are formed mainly on the basis of analogy.
英语媒体话语中的童话先例名称
本文以认知语言学为基础,从英语媒体话语文本中选取童话先例名称进行研究。在概念分析的框架内,对童话先例名称的语言认知特征进行了覆盖,从而揭示了语言结构和概念结构之间的联系。研究材料包括在互联网站点和Sketch Engine应用程序的英文Web 2020数据语料库(enTenTenTen20)中引用的包含童话拟人词的语句。该语料库是2019年至2021年间从互联网上收集的英语文本语料库。通过对这些材料的分析,我们提出了一个假设,即绝大多数在英语媒体话语中起作用的童话先例名称都是根据类比原则形成的。研究发现,媒介文本的特点是在隐喻模式中使用先例名称,将其比作属于不同概念领域的实体。在这种情况下,对象的比较是由两个被比较实体的特征联合进行的。在分析材料中,隐喻由“人-人-像动物-神话”和“物-植物-像动物-神话”两种模式来表现。在童话先例名称的形成过程中,也运用了类比原则,将属于同一概念领域的两个实体进行比较。一般来说,比较词(被比较的东西)和相关词(被与之比较的东西)的相似性是根据相似的完全程度来确定的。描述现实中其他对象的能力可以用童话先例名称的原型方面来解释,即它们作为典型的阶级代表与主要指涉物的主要属性的相似性。研究结果表明,童话先例名称的类比比较频率(87,72%)远高于隐喻比较频率(12,28%),证实了上述假设。因此,我们可以得出结论,在现代英语媒体话语中,童话先例名称主要是在类比的基础上形成的。
