SPEAKING LIKE A GOOD GUY: SPEECH CARNIVALISATION ALGORITHM
Journal Title: Мова - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 23
Abstract
The presented article looks at the problem of portraying good and bad characters by means of their speech self-representation in the original American western novels. The main objective of the paper consists in finding a syntactic code of the positive personality in western as demonstrated in the good cowboy’s speech party. Employing the cutting-edge methods of cognitive linguistics and text analysis along with traditional syntactic theories, the author argues that a stereotypic clash of good and evil conditioned by the genre results already on the level of syntactic carnivalisation of the literary dialogue within good and bad cowboys’ speech parties. Accordingly, the latter reflect the author’s view of national moral and ethical concepts of good and bad, while his/her main characters in a certain way embody these concepts on the level of their speech representation in the novel. The results of the carried-out linguistic analysis permit building up syntactic algorithms of good and bad cowboys’ speech which make the characters easily recognizable for the readers and manifest deep-lying cognitive associations between man’s surface speech structures and his/her assessment by the audience in terms of good or bad moral standards.
