Qualitative and Quantitative Characteristics of Functional-and-Stylistic and Emotional-Expressive Stylistic Markedness of the Adjective in the Literary Text: Based on V.M. Shukshin’s Stories
Аннотация
The stylistic markedness of a linguistic unit in general and an adjective in particular, having commonalities in dictionaries and literary texts, is characterized by the author’s interpretation of the text. It indicates an individual writer’s vision and realization of a linguistic unit in the dynamics of language, in which the semantic-stylistic volume of a lexeme typically expands and deepens through the author’s intention, genre of the work, theme, influence of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors. In V.M. Shukshin’s stories, both the stylistic and the overall semantic-and-stylistic aspects of the adjectival vocabulary expand and deepen through the author’s individual innovations (neologisms, occasionalisms, non-standard word combinations, etc.) as well as through the use of dialectal words, slang, colloquial expressions, which he uses in the same meaning as in a dialect, or giving them a different (or several different) semantic and stylistic meanings. The study discusses the issue of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of stylistically marked adjectival vocabulary in in Shukshin’s fictional speech in comparison with its presentation in explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language. The qualitative and quantita tive (linguostatistical) analysis of the functioning of the adjectival vocabulary in V.M. Shukshin’s stories in comparison with their stylistic labels in dictionaries has revealed significant differences, indicating the semantic-and-stylistic interpretation of a certain part of the adjectives used by the writer, allowing to define this practice as evolutionary in relation to both the stylistic markedness of the adjectival vocabulary and its lexical meaning within his created literary texts, ultimately enriching the stylistics and semantics of linguistic units of the Russian language. During the scientific research, methods such as intralinguistic comparison, semantic-and-stylistic, linguostatistical analyses, as well as inductive and deductive methods were used, contributing to determining the theoretical and practical significance of the studied scientific issue.
