LEXICAL MEANS OF SPEECH EXPRESSIVIZATION (BASED ON MATERIALS FROM MODERN LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS)

Abstract

In the article, based on the works of Andriy Kokotyukha “The Secret of the Cossack Treasure”, “The Secret of the Submarine”, “The Secret of the Snake Head”, oriented towards middle school age, lexical means of speech expression are analyzed. It was found that such linguistic units are characterized by an anthropocentric nature, a close connection with the inner world of a person, contextual conditioning of emotional and evaluative meanings within a certain communication situation, etc.The linguistic means of expressiveness of the speech of the characters in the artist’s works are represented by four lexical and grammatical classes – nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. The expressive potential of the analyzed lexemes and phrases is associated with the subjective perception of speakers about objects, signs, concepts, actions, states, processes, etc. In the studied texts, the most solidly presented are expressivesexpressed by the verb vocabulary of the most diverse thematic and lexical-semantic groups (speech, movement, specific physical action, perception, thinking, etc.), which indicates the dynamism of the plot, the author's desire to give the text a “live” sound.Actively involved in the artistic context are expressive nouns that represent the names of persons or the verbal expression of the speaker's sensory intentions. Expressivization of the speech of adolescents is an important means of emotional and evaluative characterization of the age-psychological characteristics of this community, which is reflected in the ability to give evaluative meaning to certain lexemes in the process of word formation. It is noted that the suffixes of subjective evaluation give nouns special connotations and demonstrate the connection of the character's emotional state with the lexical organization of his speech. The expressive nature of adjective elements consists in referential selectivity aimed at fixing unusual or intensified qualities and features of an object or phenomenon to which the writer draws attention. Special attention is paid to the use of adverbs in the analyzed texts, which also serve as a means of explicating emotional, axiological, evaluative ideas and stereotypes in the process of interpersonal communication of children and teenagers.It is determined that expressive lexical affect the emotional sphere of a particular character, provide a weakening or strengthening of the emotional-evaluative and psychological tonality of the context, generated by various communicative situations. Expressives provide emotional-axiological characteristics of adolescent characters in the process of implementing dialogic speech, emphasize the features of appearance, mental abilities, character traits, physical and mental states, social relations, behavior, etc.
