Psycho-Energetic Mechanism of the Fairy Tale’s Subliminal Influence on a Child
Get PDFIn the paper the author suggests a synergistic model of a psycho-energetic mechanism representing a subliminal influence of a fairy tale on a child. The model advances two typical self-developing attractor structures of questions generated by a fairy tale in a child’s consciousness in the process of his/her socialization
Correlation of the English fairy tale’s plot structure and its prosodic organisation
No full textIn the paper on the basis of a systemic analysis of the English fairy tales’ semantic, functional and structural characteristics the author updates its definition of a small form folk text, outlines typical genre characteristics and substantiates a hierarchical subordination of its functional features. The paper also advances the algorithmic model, representing the steps of unfolding the English fairy tales’ plot elements, which serves as a theoretical and methodological ground for the experimental phonetic study of prosodic means that organise the text of a fairy tale. Within the process of model formation, the author performs a matrix analysis of the fairy tale’s content and compositional structure, presented as a systemic algorithmic scheme. The evaluation of emotional and pragmatic potentials of the spoken fairy tale made it possible to describe the peculiarities of prosodic features functioning within its structural elements (exposition → development of the events → climax → denouement) and at their junctures as well as substantiate its invariant and variant intonation patterns. The carried out auditory analysis proves that there is a direct correlation between the fairy tale’s plot structure and its prosodic means, whose specific interaction triggers creative and cognitive processes in the recipient’s mind aimed at conveying the text pragmatic aim
Prosodic organization of English folk riddles and the mechanism of their decoding
Get PDFThe paper advances a cognitive model representing a creative mechanism of riddle decoding by its recipient, which serves as a theoretical and methodological ground for the experimental phonetic study of prosodic means that organize the text of a riddle. Within the process of cognitive model formation the author performs a conceptual analysis of the riddle compositional structure, presented as a systemic algorithmic scheme. It is confirmed that a characteristic feature of a folk riddle is its division into two elements: the first one is the description of an object, further differentiated into “topic” and “commentary”, while the second one is the riddle answer, or solution, generated directly in the recipient’s mind as a result of his/her mental activities. The carried out auditory analysis proves that such a limitation of the riddle’s structure is compensated by a set of prosodic means and their specific interaction, which trigger creative and cognitive processes in the recipient’s mind aimed at searching for the riddle solution
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Get PDFThe paper is the experimental study of the energetic potential of English parables’ oral actualization. It outlines specific features of prosodic means’ interaction in English parables that contribute to conveying the text pragmatic orientation. The results of the study demonstrate the correlation between the changes of the speaker’s psycho-emotional state while producing the parable and its energetic potential resulting in its definite prosodic organization

Get PDFThe paper outlines the objectives of experimental evaluation of energetic characteristics of
the myth’s prosodic organisation viewed as a result of a complex interplay of the text emotional,
pragmatic, semantic and structural features. The study is based on the assumption that it is the
text prosodic organization that triggers the listeners’ emotions and feelings thus conveying its
pragmatic orientation.

Get PDFThe paper outlines the methodological potential of a number of graphical models advanced by Kyiv school of phonetics as well as of a well-know Klymenyuk’s pyramid model that provide the most comprehensive interpretation of basic cognitive processes occurring in the person’s psyche and thus can be applied in the interdisciplinary cognitive linguistic research
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
