Abstract
Aim. To describe the features of studying the “general imagery” of the work, and particularly the stylistic features of portraiture in the works of M. Yu. Lermontov using a perceptual speech situation.
Methodology. Based on a sample of visual perceptual units from the text of M. Yu. Lermontov's Collected Works, as well as statistical data from the NCRL, the sum of contexts containing visual predicates is analyzed. Distributive analysis consists in referring to the environments of the units in question. The categorical semantics of perceptivity makes it possible to use the method of linguistic-cognitive modeling of artistic reality. Descriptive intertextual and linguistic-conceptual analysis is applied, the semantic polyfunctionality of figurative-perceptual units in a single space of the Lermontov text is revealed. It is proven that the problem of portraiture in M. Yu. Lermontov’s texts is based on the semantics of the perceptual predicate. The author develops a method of linguistic analysis of the category of imagery according to individual functional variants (figurative constants) of syntactic perceptual concepts <X> sees <what>, <X> looks, looked at <what>, linking them with the study of stable and reproducible language units of author’s artistic thinking.
Results. The study enables application of the main provisions of the theory of perceptual imagery in the linguistic analysis of the literary text of M. Yu. Lermontov and his contemporaries.
Research implications. The importance of a special textual unit – the figurative-perceptual speech situation in the study of idiostyle features of the first third of the 19th century is confirmed; the results can be used in the study of M. Yu. Lermontov’s creativity and visual verbal imagery. The effectiveness of the linguistic-conceptual analysis of a literary text is proved.
