Glivenkova O.A., Evenko E.V., Kopelnik V.I.Sound Symbolism as a Means of Creating Symbolic Sound Metaphor // Journal "Problems of Contemporary Science and Practice" Vernadsky University , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2014. (pdf-file) Abstract: Sound symbolism as a means of creating symbolic sound metaphor is considered in the article in order to underline its significance in cognition and comprehension on different levels of analysis: phonemes, phoneme combination and word forms. The purpose of the paper is to show how the meaning of a word is partially affected by its sound (or articulation) due to sound symbolism. An attempt is made to point out processes, approaches, psychological and psycholinguistic experiments that can be applied to examine it. A wide range of examples are given to prove that this phenomenon is a result of a secondary association through
synesthetic cross modal abstraction and word sounds can be metaphors of images, colours and tastes. Sound symbolism plays a significant role in the evolution of language, which is treated in the article as sound iconic. Thus it proves the necessity of further research in this field by the majority of psychological and psycholinguistic experiments from the author's point of view.
Nikulina N.I.To the Question of Dialogical Relations within Internal Monologue // Journal "Problems of Contemporary Science and Practice" Vernadsky University , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2014. (pdf-file) Abstract: The internal monologue in fiction serves to disclose the psychological aspect of a literary work. Dialogical relations exist not only in speech but also at different manifestations of human consciousness. So within an internal monologue there are certain dialogical relations based on characteristics of a fiction. The internal monologue makes the positions of the author, the reader and the character equally significant within art communication. The internal monologue causes a tripartite hermeneutical task: to understand the character’s psychological features, to understand the author’s intention and to understand oneself (to realize the individual character of interpretation). The study of dialogical relations plays an important role in defining the rhetorical and hermeneutical aspects of internal monologue.
