METAPHORICAL MODEL «BROTHERS» IN THE RUSSIAN MEDIA DISCOURSE

Journal Title: Мова - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 22

Abstract

The article describes the features of the linguistic conceptualization of Russian-Ukrainian relations on the material of Russian mass-media texts. The analysis of texts on relevant topics made it possible to identify the following metaphorical models that are used in the description of the Russian-Ukrainian relations: 1) «brothers», 2) «neighbours», 3) «partners», 4) «friends», 5) «spouses». In this article we focus on the consideration of the model «brothers.» This metaphorical model is considered as part of a complex system of conceptual frameworks presented in a frame FAMILY, which is almost completely verbalized in texts devoted to the Russian-Ukrainian relations in this discourse. In the process of investigation as a result of the analysis, it was possible to identify some of the peculiarities of this model: 1) a metaphor «brothers» tends the change of axiological vector (carnivalization), which in turn indicates its important place in the system of metaphorical simulation of the Russian language consciousness, 2) value paradigm of relationship undergoes an «ideological correction», 3) ambivalence of metaphorical models («brothers»/«partners») indicates conflicting installations of subject assessment in the Russian mass media discourse.
