CONVENTIONAL AND ICONIC FEATURES OF RHETORICAL FIGURES AND TROPES AS THE BASIS FOR TWO TRENDS IN RESEARCH

Linguistics

Authors

  • Khazagerov George Doctor of Philology, Professor

Annotation

The article deals with the theory of tropes and rhetorical figures. The modern approach to these phenomena has some asymmetry, although the approach is a united system. In the basis of universally recognized and clear classification of tropes there is the notion of tropes as moti- vated signs. This obscures the conventional side of tropes, though this side is necessary for studying them from the philological and lingua-cultural point of view. At the same time the absence of universally recognized classification of rhetorical figures stimulates their descrip- tion from philological point of view considering these or those historical priorities. In the article an attempt to collaborate the common approach to tropes and figures is made. There are also described some ways how to fill existing research lacunas.
