Journal Title: Закарпатські філологічні студії - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The article focuses on the analysis of the concept ROMANIAN CULTURE verbalized in the essay of the modern writer Paul Bailey on the sculptor Constantin Brancusi. The research is methodologically grounded in the cognitive-discursive paradigm. It has been revealed that the concept ROMANIAN CULTURE is objectified in the essay as an interrelated combination of a number of selected conceptual constituents which enables the given concept to perform a range of functions that help the author of the text to achieve his communicative aim. The structure of the concept ROMANIAN CULTURE in the essay is composed of the following concepts: ROMANIA (and the concepts that specify it WALLACHIA, OLTENIA, HOBITZA, CRAIOVA, BUCHAREST); FOLK ART (and its conceptual representatives RITUAL ART, CARVING, SACRED ARCHITECTURE, TAPESTRY MAKING, EMBROIDERY); BIRD, FLOWER, BEAST, ORNAMENT; SOUL; ORIGIN (and its conceptual representatives NATIVE COUNTRY, BIRTH PLACE, NATIONALITY); PERSONAL NAME (represented by the precedent names Constantin Brancusi (Brâncusi, Bruncoosh), Eugène Ionesco, Emil Cioran, Panait Istrati). The actualization of these conceptual components enables the concept ROMANIAN CULTURE to perform three functions in the essay, namely the functions of informing, interpreting, and upbringing.
