Аннотация научной статьи по языкознанию и литературоведению, автор научной работы — Gromoglasova T.I.

The article is written within the framework of functional linguistics and is dedicated to a study of repetition representation in language layers in Russian and English speech by the youth. The researcher reveals that sound repetitions can be of three varieties: simple vocal, simple consonant and complex sound repetitions, vowel repetition being the most common of them. The number of morphemic repetitions in youth speech turns out to be insignificant, since they are more characteristic of artistic speech. At the same time, Russian, being an inflectional language, shows higher quantitative indicators. The study revealed that the most common type of repetition is lexical. The article discusses its belonging to different parts of speech, length and grammatical variability. Most lexical repetitions are repetition of a word with 1-3 syllables, excluding grammatical variation. As for formal characteristics of syntactical repetition, it can occur both closely and distantly as a full or partial repetition with lexical or syntactical changes. The system analysis of the repetition phenomenon has showed that its representation at all layers of the linguistic system is characteristic of both studied languages, and the peculiarities of formal representation are due to the structure of a particular language.

ФОРМАЛЬНЫЕ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ ПОВТОРОВ В РУССКОМ И АНГЛИЙСКОМ МОЛОДЁЖНОМ ДИСКУРСЕ

Статья выполнена в рамках функциональной лингвистики и посвящена изучению поярусной представленности повторов в русской и английской молодежной речи. Было определено, что звуковые повторы проявляются в обоих языках тремя разновидностями: простом вокальном, простом консонантном и сложном звуковом повторе, причем, наиболее распространенный из них повтор гласной. Количественная представленность морфемных повторов в молодежной речи оказалась незначительной, поскольку они более характерны для художественной речи. При этом, русский, являясь флективным языком. показывает более высокие количественные показатели. В ходе исследования было выявлено, что самый распространенный вид повторов лексический. В статье анализируется их частеречная принадлежность, протяженность и грамматическая вариативность. Большинство лексических повторов представляют собой повторение слова в 1-3 слога, исключающее грамматическую вариативность. Что касается формальных характеристик синтаксического повтора, он может проявляться как контактно, так и дистантно в качестве полного или частичного повтора с лексическими или синтаксическими изменениями. Системный анализ феномена повтора показал, что его представленность на всех рассматриваемых уровнях языковой системы характерна для каждого из исследуемых языков, а особенности формальной репрезентации обусловлены строением конкретного языка.

ФОРМАЛЬНЫЕ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ ПОВТОРОВ В РУССКОМ И АНГЛИЙСКОМ МОЛОДЁЖНОМ ДИСКУРСЕ

Since the 1950s the phenomenon of repetition has aroused great interest among linguists, which is due to its frequent occurrence in most languages - of the world. On the one hand, repetition is a phenomenon that contravenes the law of language economy as it is often defined as linguistic redundancy, but on the other hand, it can be viewed as a feasible element of communication.

Traditionally, the problem of repetition was studied by theorists of literature as a means of emotional amplification, rhythm and music or compositional organization and harmonization of the text (N.T. Golovkina, V.D. Ivshin, N.A. Kozhevnikova, N.S. Novikova, M.V. Pankratova, K. Koguchi, J.H. Stek et al.). There are also works in the field of grammar in which repetition is researched from the point of view of word formation and grammatical forms (O.Y. Kryuchkova, E.V. Petukhova, F.I. Rozhansky, E.Y. Shamlidi et al.).

Studies of repetition as an element of discourse have gained popularity quite recently. The current study of repetition is based on the material of youth discourse for several reasons. Firstly, youth is a special sociocultural group in which various linguistic processes are vividly expressed. Secondly, there is lack of repetition research done on the basis of oral youth speech, though there are works devoted to repetition in written youth discourse [1], youth newspaper discourse [2] and youth song discourse [3]. Thus, the choice of the research material as well as the idea to study repetition in the paradigm of communicative linguistics determines the timeliness of thiswork.

The aim of the research is to define formal characteristics of repetition in Rowsian and English youth speech and reveal its universal and nationally determined features. The repetition in the research was viewed as a phenomenon that is presented by repeated sounds, morphemes, words or groups of words.

The material for the study of repetition in Russian youth discourse wow the speech of students and graduates of higher educational institutions of Biysk, Barnaul (Altai Territory) and Novosibirsk, recorded by the researcher on a dictaphone iainfor-mal settings. As for English youth discourse, the research material was compiled by speech of students and graduates of various US universities, part of the collection of American speaking Santa Barbara corpus of spoken American English [4]. Despite the fact that for both languages the informants were aware of the recording, theirhpeech was considered unprepared because they did not know when and in what sitationt they would be recorded. Speech of only those speakers for whom the languages - in question are native was researched. The age of participants varied from 18 to 27 years.

The selected fragments of speech were transcribed by the researcher in tho format of literary alphabetic transcriptions with graphic inserts in the case of re|hetitions. Using continuous sampling method, the researcher identified 350 cases of repetition in each language. The selection of repetitions took place within one microtext with a microtheme, which made up a single semantic fragment.

In the course of the research every identified case of repetition was analyzed in terms of belonging to a particular type (sound, morphemic, lexical, syntactical), its formal structural and compositional characteristics in Russian and English youth speech. Data on the frequency of occurrence of a particular type of repetition is presentedin Figure 1.

Figure 1. Types ofrepetitions inRussianandEnglish youth speech and their frequencyofoccurrence

The diagram shows that the most common type of repetition in youth speech is lexical repetition, which was identified in more than half of the cases (in Russian - 210 units, in English - 178 units). With small percentage of difference, occur sound (64 units in Russian, 79 - in English) and syntactical repetitions (55 and 83 units, respectively). The least common type of repetition is a morphemic one, presented by only 21 units in Russian and 10 units in English. Let us have a closer look at formal characteristics ofevery typeofrepetition.

Sound repetition

Sound repetition in Russian and English youth speech is presented by both simple vocal or consonant repetitions and complex ones. It should be noted that a set of repeated sounds was viewed as a complex sound repetition only when the repeated sounds did not form a morpheme or a word, otherwise, it was treated as a morphemic or lexical repetition. The results of the quantitative analysis of sound repetition representation arereflectedin table 1.

According to the data, different types of sound repetition appear in the studied languages with different degree of frequency. The most often observed is the repetition of vowels, which is obviously connected with the nature of this type of sound as vowels are pronounced without major obstacles in the organs of speech, thus, they can be easier reproduced repeatedly.

Vocal repetitions can be divided into two groups: repetition of an autonomous vowel and repetition of a vowel in a word. The first group consists of Russian sounds [э], [a], [и] and English sounds [e], [л], which in most cases occur during the pause of hesitation when a speaker is selecting the most appropriate verbal embodiment for his thought:

Потомучто э-э-э ну у меня было несколько случаев...;

They'll be able to u-u-uh grow circuitry that issocomplicated...

Table 1

Sound repetitions in Russian and English youth speech

Simple vocal repetition 75,0 60,8

[a] 28,1 [л] 27,8

[э] 26,5 [e], И 6,3

[и] 7,8 [3] 10,3

[с] 3,2 [s] 2,6

[d] 2,6

[w] 1,2

Complex sound repetition 12,5 18,9

Due to a wide variety of complex sound repetition combinations, they are illustrated in the examples below.

Along with the isolated repetition of vowel [л] in English speech, it is also often found in the u-u-um sound combination, which is typical of the American variant of English speech. Therefore, this can be considered as a sociolinguistic phenomenon.

As for the second group of vocal repetitions, it consists of a more varied range of vowels that can take two positions in a word: middle and final. For example:

Ой/ да пока-а-азывали же по телеку//;

Не-е-е/ такие туфли я бы точно никогда не выбрала//;

She just l[u-u-u]ked at me//;

Give it to m[i- i- i]//.

Compared to vocal repetition, consonant repetition is observed in Russian and English youth speech less often. In the majority of cases such type of repetition is presented by autonomous repetition of Russian [м] and English [m] sounds. The nature of this repetition is quite similar to repetition of an autonomous vowel because, firstly, it occurs in the speech to fill the pause of hesitation and, secondly, it can be pronounced lengthily due to its articulation capability as a labial sonant.

М-м-мI не только в спорте...;

M-m-m/ but I'm like not homesick at all//.

Single repetitions of Russian consonant [c] and English consonants [s], [d], [w] can be viewed as random since they appear incidentally and occur in case of speech failure, which may be caused by distracting noises, articulation breakdown, unintended actions or facial expressions of an interlocutor:

То есть у вас есть с..средства/ там все на свете//;

She looked at me/ but she d.. .she didn't see me//.

Another type of repetition that can be observed when speech failure occurs is complex sound repetition. Such repetitions usually consist of 2-3 sounds, always take the initial position in a word and are characterized by double contact representation:

...чт/чтобы они не особо сильно старались//;

It's just matrixing/ and/ just/ con—constantly building and building//.

Morphemic repetition

Morphemic repetition in Russian and English youth speech has shown the lowest level of frequency among other types of repetition (6,0% and 2,9% in Russian and English speech correspondingly). The "unpopularity" of morphemic repetition isprimarilydue to the fact that spoken speech is stylistically weak, and repetitionsofthistepesreopen used to create a targeted stylistic effect and, thus, are more characteristic of literary works. Still, the number of the identified cases of morphemicrepetitionallowetoehtn line its common features. All repeated elements are root morphemes which take initial position and are located distantly.

Lexical repetitions in Russian and English youth speec h

The majority of lexical repetitions belong to notional parts of speech, the noun, the pronoun and the verb being the most commonly used among them. This can be explained by the fact that these parts of speech carry a greater semantic meaning. Interestingly, English speech contains a larger number of pronoun repetitions (compared to other notional parts of speech), which is probably due to the typical two-member structure of the English sentence and the intention of the speaker to replace the noun with a pronoun, which formally simplifies the utterance.

Repetitions of secondary parts of speech are generally less common, although according to the findings, particle repetitions in Russian youth speech occur quite frequently. Such type of repetition is mostly presented by the words да, нет, типа, че, which are quite typical of Russian speakers of the targeted age. Similar markers of colloquial speech are also found in English, but they are mainly presented by syntactical structures, for example, I mean, you know.

All types of lexical repetitions were examined in terms of the length of repeated elements. The obtained results are presented in Figure 2.

Such repetitions account for 25,3% of all English syntactical repetitions, which increases their total number in English speech.

Table 3

Syntactical repetitions in Russian and English youth speech

Repetition type Number of repetitions in Russian speech, % Number of repetitions in English speech, %

Full 32,7 63,9

Partial 67,3 36,1

- with lexical changes 45,5 31,3

- with syntactical changes 21,8 4,8

Examples of full syntactical repetitions, preserving both syntactic parallelism and lexical meaning, are observed in the following speech fragments:

- А ты знаешь/что седня Диме морду набили? - Морду набили?;

- And she was so miserable/cause she's studying/but she only has two weeks left//- Wow//- Two weeks left...

Partial repetitions with lexical changes are presented in the discussed languages quite equally. Their varieties with examples are given below:

• Expansion of lexical units

То есть есть вещи/ которые нравятся/ есть вещи/ которые настолько сильно не нравятся//;

- Tuna fish was great// - Tuna fish was not great//.

• Truncation of lexical units

- Чтобы они не особо сильно старались// толи денег дали/ толи что// - Кто дал? Правительство дало деньги спортсменам/ чтобы они не старались?;

No/thanks//1 don't like green apples//1 don't like apples/at all//.

• Partial replacement of lexical units

Слушай/ а она ведь не только хорошо готовит/ но еще и хорошо декорирует//;

Yeah// I miss my house//1 miss the feeling//.

Unlike partial syntactical repetitions with lexical changes, the number of partial repetitions with syntactical changes in Russian and English speech differs significantly.

Библиографический список

This is due to the fact that in English, which is not characterized by diversity and abundance of inflections, repetitions with changes in grammatical forms are extremely rare. During the research only four cases of syntactical repetition in English were found, one of which is the following:

You know and it...it'll be so small/ that we'll have enormous amount...u-u-uh... we should have an enormous supply of it//.

In the Russian language, which is essentially synthetic, syntactical type of repetition occurs quite often. For example:

... иди на АЗС оператором// Надежда Петровна сказала/ идут на АЗС операторами//.

In this case, one can observe syntactical repetition with a change in two grammatical forms - the verb and the noun, which is rather typical of the Russian language as well as repetitions with syntactical changes related to word order:

- Юля/ тебе хочется выпускаться-то? - Ну как/ выпускаться хочется/ конечно/ но и жалко тоже//.

Not a single case of such type of repetition was found in the English corpus. The absence of such repetitions is probably due to fixed word order in the English sentence, and inversion that can occur in affirmative sentences.

If to speak about compositional characteristics of syntactical repetitions, position of the repeated elements can be both contact and distant. The average length of this type of repetition in both languages is 2-4 words, the majority being two-word repetitions. The number of repetitions is limited to double or triple repetition, most of which is double repetition.

The conducted research has proven the occurrence of repetition in Russian and English youth speech at all levels of the linguistic system: sound, morphemic, lexical and syntactical, but they appear with various degrees of frequency. The most common are lexical repetitions, which are quantitatively presented by more than half of all cases of repetition. Syntactical and sound repetitions constitute approximately 20% of the total number of repetitions, whereas morphemic repetitions, presented by 4%, are the least commonly used. The most frequent repetitions according to formal characteristics in Russian and English are both full and partial contact repetitions, located in the initial position and consisting of one or two syllables (in case of lexical repetition). The specific features of repetitions in English (as opposed to Russian) are one-syllable grammatically equivalent lexical repetitions, as well as the dominance of full syntactical repetitions over partial ones.

COMMUNICATIVE-STYLISTIC FEATURES OF DIALOGICAL SPEECH IN ENGLISH PROSAIC WORKS. Communicative-stylistic approach towards the analysis of prosaic texts contributes to making links between the narration and narrator and distinguishing between the literary works and the presentation and reflection of the reality. That gives a special understanding of the literary works as representation of the linguoculturological aspect in working with foreign literature and getting acquainted with the linguistic worldview. The author points to the importance of fiction of large genres, such as the novel and the story, for the formation of linguistic and cultural literacy in the framework of the language being studied, as well as the development of communicative and stylistic features, since it is the works of large genres that allow plunging into the world of the language that is studied.

Key words: communicative-stylistic approach, dialogical speech, direct speech, literary work, foreign communicative competence.
