| 英文摘要 | The article examines a group of French precedent proper names with the meaning of a catastrophic failure (Berezina, Waterloo, Leipzig, Sedan) and raises the question of the phenomenon of the word Berezina, about its more frequent (in comparison with other members of the synonym series) use in different domains of culture. The author believes that the study of such issues can reveal a great deal both in the mechanism of the language functioning and in the national psychology of the people using this language in a certain historical period. About 400 texts of various types (publicistic, memoir, documentary and artistic) created in the 19th-21st centuries were used as the material for the study. Finding out the conditions of "competition" between the synonyms, the author considers the words in the context of the advantage of their internal forms, phonic and articulation merits, derivational potential, compatibility, and their propensity to metaphorical and other semantic transfers. It has been determined that, in this case, logical and linguistic factors do not influence the primary provision of this or that word in a synonymic series (otherwise, the words Leipzig and Sedan would have the greatest chance of indicating a major defeat). The conceptual analysis (which considers the historical, psychological, and cultural context of the existence of words) leads to the conclusion that the foundations of the phenomenon under study are in the figurative nature and in the field of interpretation of synonymous concepts. In particular, Berezina is the only word that raises direct body sensations in the collective consciousness, among which chill is the most frequent. This is in line with the mass ideas of the 19th-century French people about Russia as a country reminding of an icy desert. Furthermore, Berezina acts as an embodiment of natural destructive forces; and to suffer defeat from such is not shameful. The circumstances mentioned above explain the advantages of the proper name Berezina over other members of the synonymous series: in comparison with Waterloo, it is a concept perceived to a greater extent by feelings than by reason, and, in comparison with Sedan, the mention of the Berezina crossing does not raise the feeling of the bitterness of national humiliation. Distancing from the empirical reality connected with the word Berezina, the author comes to the following conclusions. Among the full synonyms-proper names, the most often and variously used words: (a) have a high figurative potential; (b) do not "conflict" with mental stereotypes of the national consciousness; (c) do not evoke traumatic associations; (d) can be used in the personal and household sphere as the phenomena filling this sphere are diverse and repeated over and over again, which allows a continuous updating of the arsenal of word meanings and addition of some new senses to them. |
