This study analyzes language reflection in A. Kunanbayev's poetry, identifying metatextual commentary and metalanguage interpretation. Findings reveal syntactic structures and semantic classifications of these linguistic devices.
Area of Science:
- Linguistics
- Literary Studies
- Psycholinguistics
Background:
- Language reflection and metatextual verbalization are crucial in literary analysis.
- Understanding poetic interpretation requires examining linguistic consciousness.
- Previous research has not fully explored language reflection in A. Kunanbayev's works.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and classify language reflection in A. Kunanbayev's poetry.
- To model authorial language reflection using G. Gibbs' model.
- To compare authorial reflexives with psycholinguistic survey data.
Main Methods:
- Lexico-semantic analysis of poetic texts.
- Application of G. Gibbs' model for reflexive linguistics.
- Psycholinguistic experiments with survey respondents.
Main Results:
- Identified two classifications of reflexives: metatextual commentary and metalanguage interpretation.
- A. Kunanbayev's self-reflection comprised 6 elements (Gibbs' cycle).
- Reflexives were predominantly interrogative and negative; classified into four semantic groups based on interpretation.
Conclusions:
- Language reflection is a significant element in A. Kunanbayev's poetic expression.
- The study provides a framework for analyzing poetic language reflection through reflexive linguistics.
- Findings contribute to understanding the interplay between authorial intent and reader interpretation.
