Metalanguage Attitude and Syntax of Secondary Text (Poetic Parodies by A. A. Ivanov)

Abstract

The problem of the metalanguage attitude (in the development of the concept of D. N. Uznadze) and the specifics of the implementation of the metalanguage attitude in parody as a secondary text at the syntactic level are considered. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that the development of the metalanguage aspect of speech activity in modern linguistics requires the concept of a metalanguage attitude. In addition, now it is necessary to understand how the metalanguage attitude is realized in the syntactic organization of secondary texts of a particular genre (in this case, parody). The novelty of the research lies in the creation of the general theory of the metalanguage attitude foundations, in substantiating the inclusion of the metalanguage attitude in the speech structure of parody, in the reconstruction of the elements of the parodist’s creative work on the syntax of both the original (primary) and his own (secondary) text. The poetic parodies of A. A. Ivanov were taken as material for the study, in which the metalanguage attitude, realized in the syntax, is placed at the service of the genre-stylistic conventions of parody, on the one hand, and the parodist’s aesthetic goal-setting, on the other. When analyzing poetic parodies of A. A. Ivanov, it was found that the syntactic realization of the metalanguage attitude is carried out on the basis of principles, operations and means. Four poetic parodies of A. A. Ivanov were subjected to detailed analysis.
