Стилистический анализ эмоционального высказывания (на примере произведений Гр. Грина

Introduction

The study of human emotions needs input from the study of languages, now more than ever before. Advances in the science of brain physiology are identifying in ever greater detail the specific wave patterns and locations of brain activity that correspond to different affective or emotional states.

Emotions are among the least tangible aspects of human experience, yet they exert powerful influences upon our thoughts and actions, and even upon our physical appearance and physiological processes occurring within our bodies. Examining the outward manifestations of facial expression and measurable physiological responses is one approach lo studying these inner states and events. But an emotional feeling is so internal to the experience of the person who has it, that it has rightly been questioned whether it is even reasonable to think that there is necessarily, or demonstrably, very much in common between one person’s experience of, for example, anger in a particular situation, and a different person’s experience of anger in the same or some other situation [Harkins, Wierzbicka 2001: 1−2].

The key problem with these claims is the continuing lack of clarity as to what counted as emotion words in particular studies, how they were elicited or selected, and whether some numbers represent working emotion vocabularies of particular speakers and others emotion lexicons culled from a dictionary. These issues still plague the emotion lexicon research and scholars continue to differ in ways The syntax of emotionally marked sentences in Graham Greenes «Brighton Rock» has some remarkable features. I have considered the exclamatory sentence as the most expressive syntactic structure, chosen from the novel by entire sample method.

Most of the critical attention paid to Graham Greene’s work has focused on his «Catholic» phase, which produced Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair, and his acclaimed masterpiece.

The above mentioned writer cycle is marked with high expressivity and deep emotionality but there was yet no all-round studying of the writers language style of this period, i.e. how G. Greene had achieved such expressivity and emotionality in his novels. Therefore the topicality of the chosen theme does not cause any doubts.

It is reasonable, as it seems, to use the method of the stylistic (syntactic and lexical) analysis by researching my object.

The purpose of this paper is conformable with the theme and assumes the studying of the stylistic features of emotional expressions. At first, it necessary to make the syntactic analysis of the Graham Greenes language emotionality. Secondly, I must reveal the features of emotional marked lexica.

The empirical base of the research were the novel of so-called «Catholic period» of Greene «Brighton Rock». The studying object is the stylistic features of the writers language promoting the emotional expressions.

The first part of the paper is a review of the literature of Graham Greene. I considered also the Catholic Cycle of Graham Greene on example of the novel «Brighton Rock».

The second part represents the description of the stylistic features of the emotionally marked sentences of the above mentioned novel

The structure of the work is as follows: introduction, 2 chapters, conclusion, bibliography.
