The article analyzes the drama Requiem dla gospodyni by Wiesław Myśliwski in the context of free indirect discourse as understood in literary criticism. The author of the article discusses the instances of this form of expression used in the utterances of Boleś, a shepherd and country madman of an unknown ontological status. She notices the problems with distinguishing between free indirect speech and the direct quoting of the late titular landlady [gospodyni] with whom Boleś established a strong bond. The author demonstrates that the shepherd plays a significant role both as a part of the storyline and a formal element because his creative capacity (building images) as well as linguistic (creating a binarrative in free direct speech) reveal his meta-dramatic character and privilege the dramatic subject.

Sympathy and empathy are complex and entwined concepts with philosophical and scientific roots relating to issues in ethics, aesthetics, psychology, biology, and neuroscience. For some, the two concepts are indistinguishable, the two terms interchangeable, but each has a unique history as well as qualities that make both concepts distinct. Although each is associated with feeling, especially the capacity to feel with others or to imaginatively put oneself “in their shoes,” the concepts’ sometimes shared, sometimes divergent histories reveal more complicated origins, as well as vexed and ongoing relations to feeling and emotion and to the ethical value of emotional sharing. Though empathy regularly is considered the more advanced and egalitarian of the two, it shares with sympathy a controversial role in historical debates regarding questions of an inborn or divine moral sense, prosocial behavior and the development of human communities, the relation of sensation to unconscious mental processes, brain matter, and neurons, and animal/human difference. In literary criticism, sympathy and empathy have been key components of aesthetic movements such as sentimentalism, realism, and modernism, and of literary techniques like free indirect discourse (FID), which are thought (by some) to enhance readerly intimacy and closeness to novelistic characters and perspectives. Both concepts have also received their fair share of suspicion, as the capacity to feel, or imagine feeling, the emotions of others remains a controversial basis for ethics.

Objective. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the ways of transmitting the characters’ internal speech (internal direct speech and non-proper direct speech) in a psycholinguistic projection. Materials & Methods. During the research we used general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, observation, description, classification, definitive analysis), linguistic and psycholinguistic methods (the methods of structural-semantic, component and opposition analysis, the method of dialogical interpretation of the text). Stepan Protsyuk’s psychologically biographical trilogy about Ukrainian writers – Vasyl Stefanyk («The rose of ritual pain»), Arkhyp Teslenko («Black Apple») and Volodymyr Vynnychenko («Masks fall slowly») served as material for research. Results. The multiplicity and multi-sectoral focus of the notion of «internal speech» from the standpoint of psychology, psycholinguistics, philosophy, literary criticism and linguistics are determined. An integrated approach to understanding the essence of internal speech is based on its dialogicality, virtual communicativeness, self-communicativeness and interdependence of language and speech. The qualification characteristics of the internal direct speech and non-proper direct speech are outlined, their structural and semantic varieties are described. The internal speech of the characters appears not only for reproduction of the monologic reflections of the character, but also as a form of inner, veiled talk of characters among themselves. With this in mind, two forms of representation of the internal direct speech are singled out: monologic and dialogic. The non-proper direct speech is differentiated into two varieties depending on stylistic reference points and the degree of approaching the direct speech: «literary» («author’s») and «character’s» («personal»). The functional-stylistic potential of ways of transferring the internal speech in the idiostyle of Stepan Protsiuk is revealed. Conclusions. It is concluded that the ways of transmitting of internal speech (internal direct speech and non-proper direct speech) widely used in the psychologically biographical novels of Stepan Protsiuk provide additional linguistic material for creating of psychological portraits of heroes and contribute to the artistic solution of the tension between the author’s speech and hero’s speech. Moreover, they help to adjust the interactions in their dialogue, reduce the distance between the narrator and the hero, the hero and the reader.

Abstract Peter Carey’s short story American dreams (Carey 1994 [1974]) presents a recalibration of consciousness as a small Australian town gradually becomes Americanized. The text foregrounds epistemological concerns by demonstrating a clear tendency toward delayed understanding. For this reason, I argue that the story is an instance of modernist fiction: a label not previously applied to Carey’s stories. In contrast with popular modernist techniques such as free indirect discourse and stream of consciousness, the techniques presented in the text appear to be covert, which may at least partially explain why the story has managed to avoid being labelled modernist by literary critics until now. Using analytical tools grounded in systemic functional grammar and appraisal categories, I demonstrate how linguistic analysis can lay bare the covert modernist techniques at work in the story, indicating that such an approach can be a useful complement to non-linguistic literary criticism.

The article deals with the history of basic terms to denote the ways of speech reporting in Ukrainian linguistics; the analysis of terms in onomasiological and semasiological aspects on the basis of historical sources is carried out; the contribution of Ukrainian linguists to the formation and development of this terminological subsystem is presented. Terms to denote the concepts of someone’s speech transfer is a separate subsystem that has a history of formation, development and codification in Ukrainian linguistics. In present Syntax this subsystem is called Representology. The theoretical foundations of Representology in Ukrainian linguistics are laid in the grammars of the second half of the XIX – first half of the XX century. Authors of grammar mannuals and scientific papers used nominations created on Ukrainian-language basis. Terminological variability to denote the concepts of direct and indirect speech in the sources of the 20ies of the twentieth century illustrates active scientific search for optimal means of concept’s nomination according to their characteristics, or individual terminology. Term units proposed in the works written by M. Osadtsa, S.Y. Smal-Stotsky, P.F. Zalozny, P.Y. Horetsky and I. Shalia, Yu.V. Sheveliov served as the basis for the modern termsystem called Representology. Yu. Sheveliov specified the concepts of direct and indirect language, outlined their grammatical nature and stylistic properties, as well as noted the ancient tradition of using constructions with a foreign language in the Ukrainian language. Terminological material illustrates the dynamics of terminology and allows the information systematization about the evolution of linguistic terms. Generalized data will be included in the Ukrainian historical dictionary of linguistic terms, which intended to become not only a component of the general historical vocabulary, but also to illustrate the development of Ukrainian linguistic thought. Keywords: term, syntactic terminology, Historical Terminology, terminological nomination, direct speech, indirect speech, semi-direct speech, implicit direct speech.

Abstract The domestic interior plays a significant role in realistic fiction and in 19th-century bourgeois life. The development of conventions for describing interiors in the novel coincides with the historical appearance of elaborately decorated parlors and with the feminization of domestic space. Both middle-class interiors and realistic fiction are characterized by a proliferation of detail, and their stylistic similarity can be mapped onto the emergence of a commodity culture. The fictive rhetoric of materiality and identity reflects complex relations of gender, property, and signification in the social world. (Cultural criticism; literary criticism; gender studies)
