DICHOTOMY OF THE IMAGES OF MOTHERLAND AND FOREIGN LAND AS FRAGMENTS OF THE ARTISTIC EMOTIONAL PICTURE OF THE WORLD IN THE POEM “DIN STRĂINĂTATE” BY M. EMINESCU

Abstract

The research is dedicated to a study of linguistic representations of the images “homeland” and “foreign land” in the poem “Din străinătate” by M. Eminescu in the linguo-cognitive aspect. The relevance of the research is determined by its interdisciplinary focus, within which the linguistic representations of the images “homeland” and “foreign land” are considered from the standpoint of disciplines adjacent to linguistics, in particular, cultural studies, literary studies and psycholinguistics. The authors use an anthropocentric approach to the study of verbalized fragments of the concepts in the artistic world of M. Eminescu, which represents the novelty of the research. The objective of the research is a linguocultural analysis of the structure and content of verbalized fragments of the concepts “homeland” and “foreign land” in the poem “Din străinătate” by M. Eminescu. These artistic concepts are in a dichotomy relationship and are part of the artistic conceptual sphere “the emotional world”. The semantic dominant of the poem is the image of the homeland, which has the greatest cognitive load in the dichotomy ‘homeland-foreign land’. As a result of considering the verbal content of frame structures representing the concepts of “homeland” and “foreign land” in the artistic world of M. Eminescu, the conclusion is about the mutual influence of the images in question from the point of view of the logic of the storyline development in the poem, as well as in terms of the semantic content of slots.
