Axiological component of the linguistic worldview (on the material of “Hagiography of Protopope Avvakum”)

Abstract

We made an attempt of development theoretical propositions “diachrony in synchrony of language”, reflected in the works of N.I. Gainullina. On the text material we consider axiological representation of a linguistic personality with a position diachrony in the synchrony of language; the attention is focused on the fact that axiological representations are the cornerstone on which the linguistic view of the world is formed. It is proved that the universality, anthropocentricity and expressiveness of the linguistic view of the world are based on the foundation of evaluativity. During the study we establish that one of the leading concepts correlated with the reclamation zone of the scale of assessments is the concept of purity, which in the human consciousness of the 17th century meant, of course, not only the purity of thoughts, but also the construction of service to God in the main life goal, which is not typical for the linguistic view of the world of the recipient of the late 20th - early 21th century. Our study reveal that in the “Hagiography of Protopope Avvakum” more than 20 contexts containing means of expression of evaluation. It is proved that the linguistic view of the world, coupled with the Russian literary language of the 19th, 20th and 21th centuries, does not imply such a variety of estimates and the breadth of use of means of expression evaluation in this sphere.
