Pragmatic potential of toponyms in poetic discourse of Alexander Irvanets
Journal Title: Записки з ономастики - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 21
Abstract
The most interesting source for the study of onyms pragmatics is postmodern artistic discourse, which is characterized by special connotations; scientists-onymists have only recently begun to select it as a field for their researches. So the relevance of the proposed study is undeniable. The problems of the onyms pragmatics in Irvanets’s poetic discourse have not yet found proper coverage in the linguistic literature, thus it explains the scientific novelty of our work. Its purpose is an analysis of the implementation of the pragmatic potential of toponyms in the poetry of O. Irvanets from the standpoint of literary onomastics. The object of the study is the toponymous space of his lyrics, and the subject is the means of attracting pragmatic resources of toponyms in the poetic discourse of O. Irvanets. The material for analysis is the poetry of the writer-postmodernist put in the collections «Virshi ostannoho desiatylittia 1991–2000» (2001), «Preambuly y teksty» (2005), «Mii khrest» (2010), «Satyrykon-XXI» (2011), «Sanitarochka Raia» (2015); 142 toponyms (208 usages) have been distinguished by means of the method of full sample. Analyzed poems by O. Irvanets state stratification of toponyms based on the principle of «own – strange», which is not typical for idiostyles of other Ukrainian poets: most of the geographical names used in his texts are originally nominations of objects of non-Ukrainian space. In addition, Oleksandr Irvanets is one of few Ukrainian poets whose poetic speech does not acknowledge any distinct toponym dominants (there are these dominants in some poems), which is fully coincide with the poetics of postmodernism. To achieve a communicative purpose, the writer uses various methods of language game (phonetic, spelling, semantic, word-building, etc.), which often lies in the intertextual plane. By generating new values of proper names, the author extends the semantic-pragmatic parameters of poetry and proves that units of the toponymous space have inexhaustible resources for solving the artistic tasks of postmodernism.
