THE NOMINATIVE SPACE MYSTERY THROUGH THE ICONIC LENS (A STUDY OF MODERN ENGLISH FICTION)
Published 2017-10-30
Abstract
The article investigates iconic language signs pertaining to the nominative space MYSTERY. The research material was drawn from 20th–21st century English fiction. The data analysis allowed to single out signs based on perceptual likeness of the representamen and the referent (silence, aposiopesis), structural analogy between them (ellipsis, repetition), and similarity on the conceptual level (metaphor).
