- INTERACTION OF LOGICAL AND NOMINAL MEANINGS
e. g. Oh, where are you going to, all you Big Steamers?
The interjection oh, by itself may express various feelings such as regret, despair, disappointment, sorrow, surprise and many others. Interjections can be divided into primary and derivative. Primary interjections are generally devoid of any logical meaning. Interjections such as: Heavens! Good gracious! God knows! Bless me! are exclamatory words generally used as interjections. It must be Примечание 1 INTERACTION OF LOGICAL AND NOMINAL MEANINGS Antonomasia is a lexical SD in which a proper name is used instead of a common noun or vice versa, i.e. a SD, in which the nominal meaning of a proper name is suppressed by its logical meaning or the logical meaning acquires the new-nominal-component. Logical meaning, as you know, serves to denote concepts and thus to classify individual objects into groups (classes). Nominal meaning has no classifying power for it applies to one single individual object with the aim not of classifying it as just another of a number of objects constituting a definite group, but, on the contrary, with the aim of singling it out of the group of similar objects, of individualizing one particular object. Another type of antonomasia we meet when a common noun serves as an individualizing name, as in D. Cusack: "There are three doctors in an illness like yours. I don't mean only myself, my partner and the radiologist who does your X-rays, the three I'm referring to are Dr. Rest, Dr. Diet and Dr. Fresh Air." Plan 1. Antonomasia 2. Simile 3. Periphrasis 4. Euphemisms 5. Hyperbole Simile is a direct, expressed comparison between two things essentially unlike, but resembling each other in at least one aspect. It is a device both of art and explanation, comparing the unfamiliar thing to be explained to some familiar thing known to the reader. There is no simile in the comparison, "My car is like your car," because the two objects are not "essentially unlike" each other. When you compare a noun to a noun, the simile is usually introduced by like: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun. . . . --Shakespeare When a verb or phrase is compared to a verb or phrase, as is used: As wax melts before the fire,/ may the wicked perish before God. --Psalm 68:2b Whenever it is not immediately clear, the point of similarity between the unlike objects must be specified to avoid confusion and vagueness. And money is like muck, not good except it be spread. - Francis Bacon Euphemism is a word or phrase used to replace an unpleasant word or expression by a conventionally more acceptable one, for example, the word 'to die' has bred the following euphemisms: to pass away, to expire, to be no more, to depart, to join the majority, and the more facetious ones: to kick the bucket, to give up the ghost, to go west. So euphemisms are synonyms which aim at producing a deliberately mild effect. "They think we have come by this horse in some dishonest manner“ Euphemisms may be divided into several groups according to their spheres of application. The most recognized are the following: 1) religious, 2) moral, 3) medical and 4) parliamentary. |
