Frame structure of the concept «language» in the chastooshka

The article considers the peculiarities of the verbal realisation of concept «language» in the chastooshka. The research was carried out on the material of folklore chastooshka texts collected during the folklore expeditions in Tomsk region organised by the Philological Faculty of Tomsk State University in 1960-1990s, in 2003 and 2008 (the author being a member of the group). The tool for describing the present concept is a frame, a structure of data for stereotype situation representation. Depending on communicative, discourse and genre demands the concept, being a cognitive structure that creates a complete knowledge of extra linguistic phenomena significant for culture/ subculture or an individual, displays its different aspects, emphasising its certain constituents. The folklore concept «language», a particular element of the all-cultural concept, is realised in the system of folklore genres. In the cognitive aspect the genre is a cognitive-communicative model including a peculiar subject matter, a way of its description and peculiarities of discourse realisation. In the chastooshka such frames as «offer», «complaint» etc. represent the concept «language» either integrally or fragmentarily in the text. As a rule, the attention focuses on the slot «speech act» of the s/he-character or «speech reaction» of the s/he-character to the actions of their beloved, their parents, the society. In chastooshkas about love frames that signify speech realisations of the relations between lovers, the girl and her family, the girl and the sweetheart's family, the girl and the society represent the concept «language». The actualisation of the possible speech situations to some extent is a pattern of the speech genres that regulate these relations. The concept «language» is closely correlated with the concepts «love», «family» and «society». The concept «language» performs an «auxiliary» function in the chastooshka. Being a constituent of the concepts «love» and «family», it displays the speech behaviour patterns characteristic of situations; it is one of the elements that form the axiological world image as the person's speech behaviour expresses the value sets of the person and the society.The description of the concept allows showing the aesthetic and the pragmatic folklore sets: providing patterns of communicative behaviour and speech genres, describing genre peculiarities of the conceptual system structure, determining the cognitive sets of the folklore consciousness.
