Abstract
This article is devoted to the investigation of linguistic peculiarities of representation of the notion «love» in the novel «Sentimental Education» by Gustave Flaubert, including the research of corresponding lexico-semantic field. This writer is one of the most famous French authors who described human emotions and we choose this novel because it is not studied enough. The purpose of this research is semantic and functional analysis of the vocabulary associated with different aspects of love. Having analyzed the text of the novel, the complex of linguistic means constituting the lexico-semantic field (explicit and implicit expression) of the notion «love» was defined. The results of the study prove that the nucleus of the lexico-semantic field under study is a noun amour and its derivatives (over 160 examples of word usage), the central part comprises such lexical units as adoration adoration, passion passion, and its periphery includes lexical units liaison relationship, caprice caprice, baiser a kiss, dévouement commitment. The sequence of lexical units according to the degree of semantic proximity to the basic meaning was also defined. The research revealed permanent connection between lexical units that reflect explicit and implicit realizations of the notion of love, in particular by adjectives romantique, joyeux, fort, nouns affection, tendresse, admiration and an adverb profondément. The author’s vision of «love» in the novel is characterized by certain symbols, that is why such stylistic figures as hyperbole and rhetorical questions play an important role in the interpretation of the text.
