В статье рассматривается роль названий глав в юмористическом романе Юнаса Юнассона «Девочка, которая спасла короля Швеции» (Jonas Jonasson “The Girl Who Saved The King of Sweden”, 2014) в раскрытии авторского замысла в целом и создании комического эффекта в частности. На сегодняшний день отсутствуют лингвистические исследования данного популярного романа, который представляет прекрасный образец современного юмористического произведения и отражает актуальные тенденции работы с художественным словом, что обусловливает актуальность и научную новизну работы. Автор статьи на материале романа Ю. Юнассона анализирует структурные и смысловые особенности заголовков, опираясь на теорию, разработанную в своем диссертационном исследовании, посвященном контрасту как средству создания комического эффекта, предлагает классификацию названий глав по структурному и семантическому признаку; доказывает, что подавляющее большинство заглавий построены по принципу бинарной оппозиции, проводит подробный лингвостилистический анализ наиболее интересных, основанных на контрасте заглавий, делает выводы об их роли в реализации авторского замысла. The paper discusses the role of the chapter titles of the humorous novel by Jonas Jonasson “The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden” in revealing the authorial intent, namely the comic effect. The popular novel by Jonas Jonassson is a perfect specimen of modern humorous fiction reflecting up-to-date literary trends, however, it has not undergone any thorough linguistic analysis so far. This fact determines the topicality and novelty of the research conducted. The paper contains an overview of the functions of titles and a thorough analysis of the structural and semantic peculiarities of the chapter titles in the given novel. It also offers their classification due to several aspects. The research is based on the theory of the mechanism of creating the comic effect in humorous fiction developed by the author in her Ph.D. thesis, focusing on contrast as the key means of creating the comic effect in modern literature. Based on the results of the research, the author of the article concludes that the overwhelming majority of the chapter titles under analysis can be structurally defined as binary opposition clusters. To conclude, chapter titles play an integral part in bringing the author’s intent home to the reader.

The City

Over the last decade, studies from multiple academic disciplines have started to examine the city’s role as a place of decolonization for Māori people in Aotearoa New Zealand. This article uses those multidisciplinary findings as a basis for literary criticism by re-examining the role of the city in Patricia Grace’s second novel Potiki (1986). Indigenous urbanites are generally deemed impossible and ‘unnatural’ within the inherited colonial ideology. And even though the novel foregrounds a Māori family’s return to their ancestral land, this article argues that the very success of this return is based on the interrelation between ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ strategies of decolonization. While the colonial urban–rural binary often seems reinforced, the novel inverts the power positions between colonizer and colonized, thereby promoting decolonization. At the same time, some characters become unconsciously entrapped in a romanticized pre-migration idyll, which the harsh reality of agricultural working life cannot satisfy. In order to assess the effectiveness of the different decolonizing strategies employed by the characters, my analysis utilizes the postcolonial key concepts of binary opposition, the liminal, the interstice, ambivalence, double consciousness and cultural appropriation, and examines the degree to which inherited binary oppositions are either maintained or defied by Pākehā and Māori within the novel.

AbstractWe derive the balance equations for a double poroelastic material which comprises a matrix with embedded subphases. We assume that the distance between the subphases (the local scale) is much smaller than the size of the domain (the global scale). We assume that at the local scale both the matrix and subphases can be described by Biot’s anisotropic, heterogeneous, compressible poroelasticity (i.e. the porescale is already smoothed out). We then decompose the spatial variations by means of the two-scale homogenization method to upscale the interaction between the poroelastic phases at the local scale. This way, we derive the novel global scale model which is formally of poroelastic-type. The global scale coefficients account for the complexity of the given microstructure and heterogeneities. These effective poroelastic moduli are to be computed by solving appropriate differential periodic cell problems. The model coefficients possess properties that, once proved, allow us to determine that the model is both formally and substantially of poroelastic-type. The properties we prove are a) the existence of a tensor which plays the role of the classical Biot’s tensor of coefficients via a suitable analytical identity and b) the global scale scalar coefficient $$\bar{\mathcal {M}}$$ M ¯ is positive which then qualifies as the global Biot’s modulus for the double poroelastic material.

The article discusses the role of the authorial dialogue in the philosophical and psychological novel by Iris Murdoch “The Sea, the Sea” in revealing the authorial intent, namely aspects of the dialogic character of a literary text. The popular novel by Iris Murdoch is a perfect specimen of philosophical and psychological fiction of the twentieth century reflecting up-to-date literary trends; however, it has not undergone any thorough linguistic analysis so far. This fact determines the topicality and novelty of the research conducted. The authors investigate dialogical markers of speech interaction based on the theory devoted to the analysis of a literary text as a discourse in its dialogical dimension developed by T. F. Plekhanova. Based on the results of the Plekhanova research, the authors of the article offer a classification of dialogical markers of author-reader interaction; identify linguistic means that form direct dialogical contact, conduct a detailed linguistic and stylistic analysis of the most interesting fragments of speech interaction, make conclusions about their role in the implementation of the authorial intent.

The article provides a detailed theoretical analysis of the continuity of literature and folklore in the context of the development of historical poetics. The place and role of folklore in modern literature in the context of the state of artistic development of the novel genre, including the historical novel, was studied. An example of this is the novel-dilogy "Raimbek Batyr" by Zh. Turlybayevich. The main purpose of the article is to study the role of folklore motifs in the creation of an artistic image of a historical figure. In modern prose, the influence of world folklore on the creation of an artistic image of a real historical figure is considered in detail. The common typological plots of world folklore in the description of Raimbek's formation as a hero, his heroic deeds were considered on the basis of comparative, comparative, typological analysis. As a result, the aspects of the author's personal creativity in creating an artistic image were identified. The results of the analysis showed that the plot structure of the novel is systematized on the basis of parallels with similar motifs typical of archaic, heroic, historical, novel, epic epics in the world folklore heritage, as well as national folklore.

Введение. Рассматривается литературная фигура экфрасиса и ее реализация посредством интертекстуальных референций в художественном произведении. Несмотря на относительную «исследовательность» феномена экфрасиса, подавляющее большинство существующих работ фокусируется на передаче значения между вербальным и визуальным медиумом, оставляя в стороне возможную читательскую интерпретацию экфрастического описания и его стилистическое выражение в тексте. Цель – провести лингвистический анализ экфрастических интертекстуальных референций и их возможное влияние на восприятие читателем художественного текста. Материал и методы. Материалом исследования послужили экфрастические отрывки из романа Дины Рубиной «На солнечной стороне улицы» и Маргарет Этвуд «Кошачий глаз» (‘Cat’s Eye’). В основе методологической базы исследования лежат следующие приемы когнитивной поэтики: дихотомия отношений «фигура – фон», модель литературного резонанса, теория нарративного взаимодействия. Результаты и обсуждение. Когнитивно-поэтический анализ экфрастической репрезентации персонажей в художественном тексте показал, что интертекстуальные референции связывают между собой сцены внутри нарратива, придают дополнительное символическое и метафорическое значение произведению искусства, на синтаксическом, семантическом и текстовом уровне имитируют визуальную организацию объекта искусства. Заключение. С помощью приемов когнитивно-поэтического анализа было рассмотрено стилистическое выражение литературной фигуры экфрасиса в художественном тексте. Занимая роль фигуры, персонаж, изображенный на картине, выступает как ярко выраженный аттрактор при воздействии на читательское восприятие. Данное перцептивное воздействие подтверждается типичными семантическими, синтаксическими и стилистическими характеристиками аттракторов, присутствующими в анализируемых отрывках. Сравнение экфрастического описания и соответствующего ему контекста показало параллелизм использованных конструкций, что свидетельствует о схожей организации их фигуро-фоновых отношений. Параллельные конструкции также являются признаком частных интертекстуальных референций, посредством которых объект искусства актуализируется в сознании читателя. Помимо контекстного окружения, интертекстуальные референции способствуют символической реализации персонажа в художественном тексте, дополняя его репрезентацию метафорическими и концептуальными смыслами. Introduction. The present paper examines a literary figure of ekphrasis and its implementation through intertextual references in fiction. Despite how relatively ‘researched’ the phenomenon of ekphrasis is, the overwhelming majority of existing works focuses on the transfer of meaning between the verbal and visual mediums. This approach omits the reader’s possible interpretation of ekphrastic descriptions and their stylistic expression in texts. The aim of the research is to carry out a linguistic analysis of ekphrastic intertextual references and their possible impact on the reader’s perception of a fictional text. Material and methods. The study is based on ekphrastic abstracts from the novels by Dina Rubina ‘On the Sunny Side of the Street’ and Margaret Atwood’s ‘Cat’s Eye’. The research methodology uses the following techniques of cognitive poetics: the figure-ground dichotomy, the model of literary resonance, the theory of narrative interrelation. Results and discussion. The cognitive poetic analysis of the ekphrastic representations of characters has shown: • intertextual references link scenes within a narrative; • intertextual references supply additional symbolic and metaphorical meanings to an artwork; • intertextual references imitate the visual organisation of an art object at the syntactic, semantic and textual levels. Conclusion. Using cognitive poetic methods of linguistic analysis, we examined stylistic expression of ekphrasis in a literary text. Taking the role of a figure, the character depicted in the painting acts as a pronounced attractor when influencing the reader’s perception. This perceptual influence is confirmed by the typical semantic, syntactic and stylistic characteristics of attractors presented in the analysed passages. Comparison of the ekphrastic descriptions and the corresponding context revealed the parallelism of the used constructions, which indicates a similar organisation of their figure-background relations. Parallelism can be also marked as specific intertextual references, through which an art object is actualised in the reader’s mind. In addition to the contextual environment, intertextual references contribute to the symbolic realisation of a character in a literary text, complementing their representation with metaphorical and conceptual meanings.

Important Purpose

One of the key features of belles-lettres style – polyphony, makes a piece of writing not only worthy literature but rather a challenge for general readers and text interpreters, in particular. The interplay of the voices of various characters in the novel requires absolute concentration and deep insight in order to be able to get the message of the story. Is this a mere technique to capture the attention of the reader or does it pursue a more important purpose? The heteroglossia in the novel entails a confusion of “voices”, but at the same time helps make the story more complete. Cloud Howe by L.G. Gibbon is an example of a polyphonic novel which represents an intricate fusion of the voices of the author, the narrator and the characters. The linguistic analysis of the novel demonstrates the role of polyphony in the overall expressiveness of the work.

Rosamond Lehmann

This chapter analyzes the role of fashion as a discursive force in Rosamond Lehmann’s 1932 coming-of-age novel Invitation to the Waltz. Reading the novel alongside such fashion magazines as Vogue, it demonstrates Lehmann’s awareness that 1920s fashion, in spite of its carefully stylized public image as harbinger of originality, emphasized the importance of following preconceived (dress) patterns in the successful construction of modern feminine types. Invitation to the Waltz, it argues, opposes the production of patterned types and celebrates difference and disobedience in its stead. At the same time, the novel’s formal appearance is nonetheless dependent on the very same tenets it criticizes. On closer scrutiny, it is seen to reveal its resemblance to Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse (1927). A tension between imitation and originality determines sartorial fashion choices. This chapter shows that female authorship in the inter-war period was subjected to the same market forces that controlled and sustained the organization of the fashion industry.

Dari hasil kajian didapatkan simpulan bahwasikap kebangsaan yang ditampilkan pada ketiga novel tersebut memiliki tingkatan yangberbeda-beda. Novel Ali Topan Anak Jalanan menunjukkan sikap kebangsaan dengan lebihkritis. Hegemoni orde Baru pada masa itu belum berhasil karena novel populer masihmenampilkan tokoh anak muda yang kritis dan cenderung memberontak terhadap nilainilaiideologi Orde Baru. Periode ’80-an menampilkan novel populer dengan tokoh anakmuda yang memiliki sikap kebangsaan yang terbelah. Pertama, anak muda yang dapatmenerima realitas yang dikontruksi Orde Baru, dengan menjalani sistem tersebut danmemposisikan dirinya sebagai bagian dari sistem tersebut. Hal itu direpresentasikan olehtokoh Lupus dalam novel Lupus: Makhluk Manis dalam Bis.
