QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF FUNCTIONAL-STYLISTIC AND EMOTIONAL-EXPRESSIVE STYLISTIC COLORING OF THE ADJECTIVE IN LITERARY TEXT (BASED ON V. M. SHUKSHIN'S STORIES)
Abstract
The article discusses the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of stylistically coloured adjectival vocabulary in speech based on the fiction of V.M. Shukshin, in comparison with its presentation in explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language. The stylistic coloring of a linguistic unit in general and an adjective in particular, having commonalities in the dictionary and in the literary text, is characterized by the author's interpretation in the text, indicating an individual writer's vision and realization of the linguistic unit in the dynamics of language, in which the semantic-stylistic volume of the lexeme typically expands and deepens through the author's intention, genre of the work, theme, influence of linguistic and extralinguistic factors. In V.M. Shukshin's stories, both the stylistic and the overall semantic-stylistic aspects of the adjectival vocabulary expand and deepen through individual-authorial innovations (neologisms, occasionalisms, non-standard word combinations, etc.) as well as through the use of dialectal words, jargon, colloquial expressions, which he uses in the same meaning as in the dialect, or giving them a different (or several different) semantic and stylistic meaning. The qualitative and quantitative (linguistic-statistical) analysis of the functioning of the adjectival vocabulary in V.M. Shukshin's stories in comparison with the content of the stylistic annotations in dictionaries revealed significant differences, indicating the semantic-stylistic interpretation of a certain part of the adjectives used by the writer, allowing to define such a writer's activity as evolutionary in relation to both the stylistic coloring of the adjectival vocabulary and its lexical meaning within his created literary texts, ultimately enriching the stylistics and semantics of the linguistic unit of the Russian language. During the scientific research, methods such as intralinguistic comparison, semantic-stylistic, linguistic-statistical, and inductive and deductive methods were used, contributing to the determination of the theoretical and practical significance of the investigated scientific problem.
