LINGUISTIC MEANS OF VERBALISATION OF THE CONCEPT SUBJECTIVITY IN THE TEXT SPACE OF SHORT STORIES “THE DUBLINERS” BY J. JOYCE

Abstract

This article deals with the research of linguistic means of verbalisation of subjectivity in text space of short stories “The Dubliners” by J. Joyce. The relevance of the research is stipulated by anthropological nature of the notion of subjectivity and its importance in the system of English linguistic culture.

The general tendency to anthropological bias is realized through identification of the object comprehension in lingual extend. In our study we understand the concept as a set of knowledge related to this concept and associations (both individually and culturally enshrined), linking it with other phenomena. The presence of multilevel conceptual domain in the same language is confirmed by the fact that in small groups of nature speakers of one language any language or speech units can acquire specific meaning unknown to the whole community who speak that language.

The concept can be expressed by a linguistic unit, but is not necessarily expressed by it beginning its existence before being used in a verbal form. We believe this idea can be developed in the following aspects: our consciousness is in need of some steady information marker and that leads to the expression of the concept using a language item that relates primarily to nuclear part of a marked element.

In our research subjectivity is something special for this individual or something connected with personnel points of views, experience and origin, for example: subjectivity estimation; something caused by mind and feelings, and not external circumstances, for example: subjectivity feeling. It is necessary to state that all the components include potential meanings created by modal frame and emotional constituent. Subjectivity can be positive and negative. We should mention emotional constituent of subjectivity which convey mood, notions which is characterized by belonging to personality with their individual views, life experience and origin and simultaneously can be unreal and delusive.
