LANGUAGE MEANS OF REPRESENTATION OF LAUGHTER IN THE EARLY PROSE OF A. P. CHEKHOV
Keywords:
qualifier, metaphor, laughter, literary text, language picture of the worldAbstract
The article analyzes the structural and semantic constructions used by A.P. Chekhov to describe the lexeme "laughter", which contains diverse shades of emotive semantics: positive, negative, neutral. This lexeme conveys the individual-author's approach in the works and reflects the worldview of the characters, expressed in their verbal and non-verbal communications through laughter. The writer reproduces the types of facial reactions, resorting to analytical or descriptive constructions, depending on the artistic task.
