Journal Title: Львівський філологічний часопис - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
The article describes the category of "comic", analyses the comic potential of allegory in the Ukrainian and English artistic text. It is found out that additional semantic and stylistic connotations contribute to the emergence of a humorous, ironic, satirical, sarcastic shade of meaning of expressions. Comic effect appears due to associative-figurative representations, replacing the main denotative meaning. It is stated that the main source of the comic is the discrepancy between the essence and the deceitful “shell” of the phenomenon, the contradiction between the form and the content, between the purpose and means of its achievement, the discrepancy between the persons’ actual qualities and those they seek to have. The comic is realized with the help of linguistic means that create a certain artistic picture of the world. They transmit information about the interaction of a language and reality, and reproduce the perception and assessment of the world organization of the author of the artistic text. It was noticed, in particular, that the natural properties of animal behaviour are associated with human habits, deeds, manners and become objects of an aesthetic evaluation on the basis of social practice. Their behaviour becomes comic only when through a peculiar natural form, social meaning is confirmed, that is human characters, human relations. With the help of natural phenomena such human flaws as laziness, trick, awkwardness and so on are emphasized. Particular attention is paid to allegorical common names. The classification of allegorical common names is singled out on the basis of the comic characteristics of people, classifying them according to moral qualities and mental abilities, features of character, behaviour, kind of activity, speech specificity, appearance, and preferences.
