Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the epithetation of the concept "sound " in the M. Tsvetaeva’s texts. The poet's work is permeated with sound, this is one of the basic concepts subject to the author's reflection. The concept under consideration occupies one of the central places in the M. Tsvetaeva’s creativity: the poet listens to the world in order to more accurately convey the meaning of being, hearing is the basis of poetry. The relevance of the research is due to the need to study epithetation from new, cognitive positions. The purpose of the study is to describe the blending nature of the epithetation of the concept of "sound" in the M. Tsvetaeva’s texts and to identify the main directions of metaphorization of this concept by means of attributive vocabulary. The researcher has made an attempt to show that epithetation is one of the main mechanisms for verbalizing meaning in the poet's texts. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time an attempt was made to analyze epithetation from the standpoint of the theory of conceptual integration using the material of M. Tsvetaeva's creativity. As a result of the research, based on the cognitive-semantic method of analysis the linguistic material, it was possible to identify the specifics of verbalization of sound attributes in the poet's idiostyle as the fifth element, the semantic center of being. The research shows that M. Tsvetaeva’s texts provide rich material for observing the cognitive mechanisms of epithetation. In the final part noted that, theoretically and practically, this research will contribute to the development of the cognitive theory of epithetation and cognitive research of M. Tsvetaeva’s creativity.
