THE PARADIGM OF SYMBOL MEANING OF THE ARCHETYPES OF ELEMENTS AS THE VERBALIZERS OF THE APOCALYPTIC IMAGERY

Abstract

The denotative and significative features of the archetypes of water, fire, light and adjacent images of the symbolic paradigm of these archetypes are analyzed in the article; the imaginative and associative potential of explicit and implicit verbalizers of the transcendental and immanent properties of God, objectified at the level of the lexical and associative field of nominations is outlined; dominant symbols that modify these archetypes in the texts of the Old and New Testaments are defined.
