TRANSFORMING POTENTIAL OF THE VERBATIVE SYNLEXES OF MODERN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2020. Issue 4 (210). P. 136-143

Introduction. The article analyzes transformative potential of the verbative synlexes – stable composite units of language, functional analogues of verbs. Material and methods. Material of research is the verbative synlexes with different grammatical components (“vesti”, “delat’/sdelat’”, “okazyvat’/okazat’”, “sovershat’/sovershit’” etc.). The source of this material is the dictionary by V.M. Deribas “Stable verb-and-noun collocations of Russian language” (1979). The author of this article detects and describes transforming potential of the verbative synlexes with the support of the texts of different styles and genres of XX–XXI centuries from Internet resource “National Corpus of the Russian language” (http://www.ruscorpora.ru) and uses descriptive method and method of contextual analysis. Results and discussion. The article detects and describes following types of transformations of the verbative synlexes: structural, semantic, syntactical and derivational. Structural transformations include ellipsis, contamination and enlargement of composition of synlex. Ellipsis and contamination are unusual phenomena which create comic effect and show. Enlargement of composition of synlex is the most common type of verbative synlexes’ transformation. There are the following determinative components: adjective, noun in a form of oblique case, combinations of words, numeral, infinitive. It’s necessary to use an adverb or comparison in structure of some synlexes. The author classifies adjectives as structural components of verbative synlexes based on the following criteria: 1) obligatory/optional; 2) unit/multiple; 3) commonly used/occasional; 4) thematic group affiliation; 5) function (concretizing, expressive and estimating, transforming). Semantic transformation is the development of figurative meanings for some synlexes genetically connected with professional sphere. Inversion is a syntactical transformation which brings to the forefront a substantive component of synlex – its notional center. Derivational type of transformation is a connection an expressive suffix to substantive component of synlex which make expressive the whole combination. Conclusion. Being originally neutral units verbative synlexes as a result of different transformations get expressive and estimating potential and characterize a process more accurately and in greater detail than verb.

PRECEDENT PHENOMENA IN RUSSIAN ROCK POETRY: TYPOLOGY AND SPECIFICS OF THEIR USAGE (ON THE MATERIAL OF THE SONG’S TEXTS BY N. A. O’SHEA) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2021. Issue 3 (215). P. 33-39

Introduction. The article considers typology and functional potential of precedent phenomena in song`s texts by N.A. O`Shea – a leader of the folk-rock group «Melnitsa». Aim and objectives. The aim of research is the identification of types of precedent phenomena used in the song`s texts by N. A. O’Shea and analysis of their functional features. The object of research is precedent phenomena of different types. Material and methods. Material of research is the song texts of which N.A. O`Shea is the author (personally or coauthored). The source of factual material is the albums of the rock group “Melnitsa” of different years. Empirical base of research is a result of usage of continuous sampling technique. During the study the author of the article the descriptive method and method of contextual analysis. Results and discussion. In the analysed texts N. A. O’Shea uses precedent phenomena of different types. The precedent names are frequency. They represent proper nouns of mythological creature (Scandinavian deity Odin), historical persons (warlord Tamerlane, musicians Freddy Mercury and Elvis Presley, writer and pilot A. de Saint-Exupéry) and literary characters (Tristan and Isolde). Such factors as a theme of the compositions or concept of the song or album, author`s interest in certain personality and respect for one’s dictate appeal to one or another precedent phenomenon. Precedent statements are the parts of cultural experience of poetess, she organically incorporates quotes from different sources (in their original form or transformed) in the song texts, makes them work for implementation of author`s idea. Precedent texts are the basis for creation of author`s legend. Some precedent titles induce particular associations by listeners; give cultural significance to the compositions. Conclusion. Precedent phenomena have two main functions in the song texts authorship of N. A. O’Shea: a function of creation of text modeling and meaning-forming function.

Functioning of verbative synlexes in speech of the dialect speakers // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2025. Issue 3 (239). P. 72-79

The author of this article analyzes the verbative synlexes – stable, composite units, which are the functional analogues of verbs and have the property of stylistic and expressive neutrality. The theoretical base of this study is the writings of linguists like Z.N. Levit, V.N. Teliya, G.I. Klimovskaya, E.N. Laguzova and others. Novelty of re search consists in choice of the source of the material – "Vershinino’s dictionary" in which an old-timer dialect of some villages in Tomsk region is recorded. Verbative synlexes are represented in this dictionary in status of phraseological units or illustrative material for the vocabulary entries. The author of this article identifies 353 verbative synlexes in the dictionary and – as a result of the analysis of them – makes the following conclusions: in Vershinino’s dialect speaking all-Russian verbative synlexes prevail. They are presented in their original form, or as dialect variants (phonetic, morphological); verbative synlexes in Vershinino’s dialect are formed by three main structural models: verb + noun in accusative case, verb + на + noun in accusative case, verb + в + noun in accusative case; in the formation of the verbative synlexes dialect speakers use numerous verbs, of which the most common are the verbs delat’/sdelat’/izdelat’, davat’/dat’, brat’/vzyat’ (for all-Russian synlexes) and the verbs khodit’, idti/ poiti, delat’/sdelat’ (for dialect units); verbative synlexes enter into relationships of synonymy and antonymy with each other. More often they are variants for each other; verbative synlexes are assigned to the various lexical and semantic groups and reflect different aspects of folk life; transformative potential of the verbative synlexes is implemented by using adjectives.
