Representation of Emotive Concepts in Modern English Fictional Discourse: Gender Approach
No full textThe article reveals the narrative strategies that are applied by the two modern much written about female authors – S. Kinsella and E. Gilbert – that help them create a unique, at times even autonomous world of a female protagonist embodying a concept of a modern woman. By defining the types of emotions introduced to the English female discourse and by determining the set of their verbal realizations grouped in clusters, the author of the article investigates the grammatical structure of the texts, so-called ‘loaded’ with emotions, thus describing the pragmatic potential of the linguistic units through which the text category of emotiveness is realized.
The author states the indisputable likeness of the ‘emotional’ palette found in the female narrations that reveals itself in the females’ going through the same emotional ups and downs, through dissatisfaction with herself and with the world around, finally, through overcoming despair and depression and thus coming to happiness and psycho-emotional tranquility.

On the Issue of Concept «Freedom» Objectivization in Contemporary English Female Fictional Discourse
No full textAnna I. Dzyubenko (Rostov-on-Don. Russian Federation)
The article offers an analysis of contemporary English-language fictional discourse created by famous authors K. Swan, E. Gilbert and S. Townsend in the aspect of narrative reflection of the content and structure of such a multidimensional and difficult to describe phenomenon as freedom. The investigation is carried out from the standpoint of pragmatic and cognitive linguistics. The author establishes contextual cases of direct and indirect representation of this concept along with an analysis of the spectrum of means belonging to various language levels of its objectification – from phonetic to phraseological one. Indirect realization is accompanied by the creation of the opposition of “freedom – non-freedom”: power as the absence of freedom and choice, freedom as an imprisonment; conscious restriction of freedom; lack of choice and freedom; lack of freedom due to devotion to a place or certain people. Direct representation, in its turn, in most cases is associated with freedom from relationships that limit freedom of will and action. The basic understanding of freedom in female fictional discourse lies in the ability to act at will, in absolute, unlimited freedom of action, as well as freedom of choice and the striving for independence. Traveling and associations with a particular place also give the characters a sense of freedom.
Key words: concept, fictional discourse, mental construct, explication, linguoculture.
