Journal Title: Scientific journal «International Journal of Philology» - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 292
Abstract
The world around the person is full of various odours, under the influence of which certain images are formed, impressions and associations arise, mood changes, bright artistic works are born. The problem of expressing smells through language means is least explored and developed in the field of sensory vocabulary. This is due to the fact that the lexical units on the denotation of the smell have a subjective nuance, since, despite the common psychophysiological perception of odours by all people and the presence of odourative universals, each native speaker has its own idea of a specific smell and the metaphorical image produces its own associative chain. In recent decades, the scientific interest in vocabulary with a odourative semantics has greatly revived. The semasiological, psycholinguistic and functional-stylistic directions of the study of this category of vocabulary have been formed, but the problem of the use of odourative vocabulary in the imaginative literature remains poorly investigated. Therefore, it is very relevant today to study the role of the odourative vocabulary in the imaginative litersture, where the saturation and versatility of the details are most noticeable. Luko Dashvar is a modern writer, who actively uses the vocabulary to designate odours in his aesthetic system of creating artistic images. The purpose of the proposed article is to characterize the semantics and ways of expressing the odourative vocabulary in the novel of Luko Dashvar «Initiation», to trace the semantic and pragmatic peculiarities of the names of odourative impressions in the writer’s artistic speech. In the analyzed novel, there is an aesthetically loaded paradigm of odourative lexemes that have different parts of the language, in particular, nouns (odour, fragrances, perfumes, stench), adjectives (fragrant, smelly), verbs (smell, smoke). All detected lexems to describe the odour are divided into the following semantic groups: the smells of food and drinks, the smells of nature, the smell of habitation, the smells of civilization, the smell of a person, which at the same time can be both the subject and the object of the odour component of the world, and the smells of the dead flesh. In the novel «Initiation» appears the original odourative language picture of the world, saturated mainly by unpleasant odorus of the environment and negative characters. The names of the smells creates interesting specific sensory images in the aesthetic system of the image of Luko Dashvar. The odourative vocabulary in the novel are psychologically loaded, therefore, in addition to the nominative function, perform an emotional and expressive role. The lexical-semantic field of «smell» in the novel «Initiation» covers a complex system of names, that can function in different semantic-syntactic constructions and thus combine language with those smells that really exist in the surrounding world.
