CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL AUTHOR'S PICTURE OF THE WORLD IN THE FRENCH SONG DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the individual author's picture of the world of the modern French song discourse, its conceptual analysis through the prism of textual concepts that encode the artistic author's idea of the work. The method of conceptual analysis of a artistic work and the method of studying textual concepts, their hierarchical structure, as well as methods of dictionary definitions, stylistic, lexical and grammatical, contextual and situational and interpretive analysis were used. The key textual concept of the artistic space in the composition «Respire» has been determined; traced its deployment in three temporal dimensions, presented in the conceptual space of the French song discourse, analyzed the lexical, semantic and stylistic means of verbalizing the textual concepts of the work, established the metaphorical and pragmatic properties of the textual concepts of the selected composition. Semantic and cognitive analysis of the illustrative material provided an opportunity to highlight the key textual concept of the artistic space LOST PARADISE, which in the conceptual hierarchy of textual concepts is defined as a mega-concept and unfolds in the text of a song work in three temporal dimensions: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE, which are meso-concepts. Temporary spaces PAST and FUTURE are presented explicitly, dimension PRESENT is expressed implicitly according to the principle of mirror reflection of the past. In the structure of the meso-concept of the PAST, the mega-concepts of LIFE and PARADISE are distinguished with the corresponding cata-concepts: HARMONY and NATURE. The concept of PRESENT is presented in the mega-concept DESTRUCTION and the cataconcept of VIOLENCE and SUBMISSION. The conceptual components of the meso-concept of the PRESENT are the emotive concepts of PESSIMISM and UNCERTAINTY, and the meso-concept FUTURE is implemented in the artistic space of the work in the mega-concept DEATH and the corresponding cata-concepts PHYSICAL FAULTS and HUNGER. The semantic and cognitive aspect of the study also made it possible to trace the lingual expression of the key concepts of the author's picture of the world, to establish conceptual equalities beginning is paradise and nothing is good, and also to highlight the key metaphor of the work LIFE AS A PUSH PIT.
