Abstract

The article analyses the role of chronotope in implementing genre characteristics of different types of novels within the frame of one novel in a cognitive approach perspective. The authors proceed from the theoretical assumption that the content of any novel represents a multidimensional knowledge of the matrix format comprising various types of conceptual domains as specific cognitive contexts. These contexts refer to the knowledge not only about the plot and the composition of the novel, but also about its genre characteristics and their individual interpretation by the author of the novel. Accordingly, they choose cognitive matrix analysis as the methodological basis of the research. Particular attention is focused on the analysis of general principles and mechanisms of the author's individual interpretation and implementation of the concept of chronotope, suggested by M.M. Bakhtin, within the framework of a specific novel. In relation to the novel under discussion the authors of the article model chronotope in the form of the cognitive matrix SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM and analyze its conceptual structure as it is seen by the author of the novel, as well as his choice of means of its representation in language. The results of the cognitive matrix and linguistic analysis lead to the conclusion that typical genre features of the novel are implemented through characteristics of the basic concepts of the respective conceptual domains and means of their linguistic representation. The article also argues close relationship between all of these characteristics and the dominant role of some of them in relation to the others.

小说体裁特征实现的认知基础(以石黑一雄《别让我走》为例)

本文从认知视角分析了时位在一部小说框架内实现不同类型小说体裁特征的作用。作者从理论假设出发，即任何小说的内容都代表了矩阵格式的多维知识，包括作为特定认知上下文的各种类型的概念域。这些语境不仅是指对小说情节和构成的了解，还包括小说作者对小说类型特征及其个人解读的了解。因此，他们选择认知矩阵分析作为研究的方法论基础。特别关注的是作者在一部具体小说的框架内对巴赫金提出的时位概念的个人解释和实施的一般原则和机制的分析。本文结合所讨论的小说，以认知矩阵时空连续体的形式对时位进行建模，分析作者眼中时位的概念结构，以及作者对时位的语言表达方式的选择。认知矩阵和语言分析的结果表明，小说的典型类型特征是通过各自概念域的基本概念特征及其语言表征手段来实现的。本文还论证了所有这些特征之间的密切关系，以及其中一些特征相对于其他特征的主导作用。
