{"title":"Plant and Animal Names in the Flamenco Poetry","authors":"T. M. Balmatova","doi":"10.24833/2410-2423-2022-1-30-103-113","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24833/2410-2423-2022-1-30-103-113","url":null,"abstract":"The song is capable of telling a lot about the spiritual life, traditions, feelings, aspirations of the people; it presents to the listener (or to the reader if it is a written text) the facts and events that left their mark on the social conscience of a certain country at a given stage of its historical evolution. Flamenco songs, belonging to the culture of dance and song cultivated in southern Spain with their variable content, often contain description of landscapes, names of plants and animals. Flamenco culture is precious and original, but despite its popularity beyond Spain, the texts of its verses published in numerous collections in Spanish have not yet attracted due attention of Russian researchers. Except for some verses translated into Russian at the beginning of the 20th century by Konstantín Balmont, our compatriots don´t know these poems. So it is essential and timely to focus on poetic texts in order to understand the role and functions of zoonyms and phytonyms in the creation of the linguistic picture of the world that is reflected in the verses. To achieve this objective, we applied the methods of cultural analysis, descriptive, comparative and solid sampling methods and also synchronic and diachronic approaches to the study. As an analytical basis for our investigation, we use Manuel Balmaseda’s verses from the book Primer cancionero de coplas flamencas populares según el estilo de Andalucía and popular songs compiled by Antonio Machado y Álvarez Cantes flamencos recogidos y anotados por Antonio Machado y Álvarez (Demófilo). The research allows us to draw the following conclusions: the metaphorical value of phytonyms endows the verses with an allegorical meaning, which allows us to discover several narrative layers in the same text. Certain species of plants are loaded with centuries-old symbolism, especially in the field of love. Zoonyms are not numerous and are often part of proverbs and set phrases. In some cases, the relationship with events described in the hagiographic compositions has been detected.","PeriodicalId":428469,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics & Polyglot Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122491969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Peculiarities of Verbal Communication of Some Youth Subcultural Representatives in Spain","authors":"V. V. Yakovleva, R. R. Alimova","doi":"10.24833/2410-2423-2022-1-30-114-121","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24833/2410-2423-2022-1-30-114-121","url":null,"abstract":"This article is dedicated to the investigation of the most characteristic peculiarities of the identification mode of certain subcultural representatives compared to the main or dominant culture expression. To this end, the article analyses, firstly, the evolution of the term “culture” and the emergence of the “subculture” phenomenon, the history of the so-called urban tribes formation into a new social phenomenon, as well as the correlations between such concepts as “dominant culture” and “subculture”, “dominant culture” and “counterculture”. Secondly, in the article are described some vestimentary code features and the verbal realization of the identity of bakala, choni and cani subcultures, belonging to the so-called “poligono” groups, numerically superior to other groups composed by marginal young people. From the point of view of the language of these subcultures, they belong to the category of vernacular, based on a mixture of the Andalusian vernacular and a criminal slang. In this regard, the article considers the formation of the slang of similar social groups, the trends in their use of word-formation models and the grammatical design of sentences, as well as the graphical manifestation of their speech features using the examples from video and audio recordings of informants, interviews and blogs of the world youth fashion and showbusiness representatives. The study of a graphic speech representation can be used to investigate tendencies in word reduction or replacement with icons, as well as other features in the language of Internet forums, commentaries on publications and other forms of communication in the Internet.The relevance of this article is in the speech analysis of modern Spanish subcultural representatives that have emerged over two decades and existed in all major cities of Spain, have a certain influence on the speech behavior of politicians and have given new lexical units included in the Royal Spanish Academy dictionary. The article contains not only linguistic, but also extralinguistic material, which can be used in lexicology, linguistic studies, linguoculturology and in the teaching of related disciplines and may be of interest to a wide audience studying Spanish.","PeriodicalId":428469,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics & Polyglot Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127113380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
