ANTI-ETIQUETTE FORMS OF COMMUNICATION IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING PICTURE OF THE WORLD (BASED ON THE NOVEL BY J.D. SALINGER “THE CATCHER IN THE RYE”)

Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze the anti-etiquette forms of communication in the novel J.D. Selinger “The catcher in the rye”, which provided for solving the following tasks: 1) to find out the basic approaches to the definition and refinement of the concept of “anti-etiquette forms of communication”; 2) characterize the forms of anti-etiquette communica­tion; 2) classify them on a semantic basis.

Methods of research: analysis and synthesis, inductive and deductive methods have allowed theoretically to comprehend modern research approaches to the formation of anti-etiquette speech behavior of the individual; the method of continuous sam­pling and contextual-interpretation analysis was applied to the formation and processing of the research corps of the actual material.

Results. The author classified the anti-etiquette forms of communication into invective, slang, parasite words, nega­tive-grade vocabulary, as well as characterizing the tendencies of speech formation of characters, namely, Colhild Holden, in the image of which J.D. Selinger clearly reflected the non-conformist attitude.

Holden's behavior is a challenge to the non-spiritual existence of society and the conformism of the layman. It is proved that the writer's aesthetic views are manifested in his philosophical consciousness through the sensory knowledge of the world, contemplative and creative attitude of man to reality, in the subjective development of the environment through the state of spiritual-sensory euphoria, elevation, catharsis, spiritual enjoyment, etc. The peculiarity of the language picture of the world of J.D. Selinger is the innovative approach to manners of the narrative, the depiction of characters, their language, the way of representing reality, the attitude of the protagonist to life.

The study found that anti-etiquette forms of communication acquire a bulky artistic-figurative subtext value, become semantically multidimensional. Most of them, characterized by semantic visage, are marked by social magnetization. The internal individual and authorial form of them is conditioned by the system-shaped Holden attitude to reality.

Conclusions. The analyzed material allowed to classify anti-etiquette forms of communication in the following groups: 1. aggressive (directed to a person, used for drawing images); 2. explosive (lexical units aimed at the situation, used for expressing emotions); 3. invective; 4. slang; 5. parasite words.

Thus, anti-etiquette communication manifests itself in stylistically reduced vocabulary, image, negative comparisons, etc.
