En guise de bibliographie

La bibliographie de Gregor Perko étant entièrement accessible en ligne, l’auteure de l’article a préféré mettre en lumière certains traits de caractère de son collègue, perceptibles dans les paratextes de ses travaux : esprit et sens de l’humour, passion pour les belles-lettres, bienveillance et confraternité. Pour compléter cette illustration, elle a évoqué quelques moments de leur coopération professionnelle et conclu ses réminiscences avec les mots de gratitude exprimés à l’égard du professeur par deux anciennes étudiantes de français.

RENAISSANCE RESEARCH ON SIMILE (16TH–18TH CENTURIES)

The article deals with the study of the concepts of simile in the Renaissance during the 16th –18th centuries in both Western and Eastern traditions. It outlines the transition from the classical fundamentals to their renaissance interpretation in the European specialized literature, the original texts of which became the subject of analysis. The correlation of terminology of different epochs is established and the dependence of scientific thought on the historical stage of society development is highlighted. It was found that because simile was regarded as a rhetorical figure, interest in it was limited to specific practical tasks related to the art of eloquence and, to a lesser extent, belles-lettres style. The functions of the described category, which were singled out by leading linguists, are stated as well as the most influential researchers who deepened the development of the basic principles of simile interpretation by classical rhetoricians. The article proves that the content, scope and hierarchy of terms for simile differ depending on the eras and the authors of rhetoric, reflecting the specifics of translation of ancient Greek and Latin texts, the development of linguistic thought and deepening the analysis of ancient Greeks and Romans. It is established that only at the end of the 18th century the English term "simile" was introduced as a descendant of a number of ambiguous, not always specialized terms (homoeosis, icon, paradigm, parabola, similitude, resemblance, comparison), often synonymous with one another.

Discursive Aesthetic Impact Strategies in Medieval Literary Texts

The paper deals with the matter investigating the nature of the aesthetic impact of the belles-lettres style being generated within the scope of great transfer from high Middle Ages to the start of Renaissance. In course of the analysis, some traditional ideas and terms adopted in the historical stylistics are used. The mentioned ideas turned up into being during the period of its discrimination from other disciplines of linguistic historical cycle. Acquired linguistic independence charged the ideas with the function of marking the borders between the historical stylistics and other disciplines mentioned. One of the markers of the type is the voluminous historism, i.e., co-relationship between stylistic phenomena and the context of their existing. Flexible borders of the latter regulated by targets and tasks of the proper research can be extended up to the certain type of culture. Importance of a special character gained by the medieval culture during the period of the international Gothic dominating when considered as a type of a context necessary for analysing the belles-lettres style generating corresponds to the importance of combining philological and non-philological kinds of practice and induced by the purpose to enrich the analysis as well as to increase the research output verification. It is suggested that the analysis of the elements of another semiotic nature presented by types and illustrations highly important for discursive strategies to influence the recipient should be thought of as an instance of a combination of the kind. One of the mighty instruments of the mentioned sort of the esthetic impact is the medieval illuminated book of the epoch of the international Gothic (XIV - XV centuries) dominating within the borders of European cultural space. Soft power, immanent to it, id est, some ability to modify emotional state of consciousness and behaviour of a recipient is characterised by semiotic attractionness and cognitive power, and embodies one of the type of strategies of the kind.

Біблійні антропоніми й топоніми в українській мові: основні вектори розвитку досліджень

Biblical Anthroponyms and Toponyms in the Ukrainian Language: Basic Vectors of Research DevelopmentThis article considers the main features of the functioning and development of biblical anthroponyms in the modern Ukrainian language. On the one hand, proper names associated with religion serve to reflect the religious map of the world; on the other – they undergo desacralization and resacralization. This means that their pragmatic potential can expand and they can acquire non-religious semantics.As precedent names, biblical anthroponyms and toponyms reveal their pragmatic potential, first of all, in the belles-lettres style. Despite the conservatism of academic style, biblical anthroponyms function there as well, enriching scientific terminology. In the publicist style, biblical proper names are often used in strong text positions of headings. Most of the analysed units are used as symbols. Semantic and connotative amplitudes of biblical onyms are so wide that they have become the object of word game resulting in polysemy of some units and even their enantiosemy. Biblijne antroponimy i toponimy w języku ukraińskim – główne kierunki rozwojuW artykule analizuje się podstawowe cechy funkcjonowania i rozwoju biblijnych nazw osobowych we współczesnym języku ukraińskim. Nazwy własne związane z religią z jednej strony służą do odzwierciedlenia religijnego obrazu świata, z drugiej strony są poddawane desakralizacji i resakralizacji. Proces ten stwarza możliwość rozszerzenia ich potencjału pragmatycznego i uzyskania przez nie semantyki pozareligijnej.Biblijne antroponimy i toponimy stanowiące precedensowe nazwy własne realizują swój potencjał przede wszystkim w stylu literackim. Pomimo konserwatyzmu charakterystycznego dla stylu naukowego także w nim funkcjonują biblijne antroponimy i toponimy, które wzbogacają terminologię naukową. Biblijne nazwy własne w stylu publicystycznym są często wykorzystywane w wyrazistych tekstowych pozycjach nagłówków. Większość przeanalizowanych jednostek spełnia rolę symbolu. Semantyczne i konotacyjne amplitudy biblijnych onimów są na tyle pojemne, że stały się obiektem gry słownej prowadzącej do wieloznaczności, a nawet enancjosemii niektórych jednostek.
