Abstract
The article examines the peculiarities of the verbalization of exteroceptive sensations in the novel “Dotsia” (“Daughter”) by Tamara Horikha Zernia, the objectified results of sensory perception that signal certain realities of the surrounding world are represented. Attention is focused on perceptual images that appeal to the recipient’s consciousness, actualize his perceptual experience and contribute to the perception of perceptual information. The perceptual vocabulary, which is designed for indirect “irritation” of the relevant sense organs, is presented in the form of visually, auditorily, tactilely, odorically, and gustatory marked samples. These samples are considered to be able to influence the emotional state of the addressee, to cause a certain reaction to the artistically interpreted visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory images of the surrounding world, and to generate appropriate associations.
Visual perceptions are differentiated according to certain situations of visual perception, depending on the setting for the perception of specific people and objects, their size, color, shape, movement in space, etc.
Auditory perceptuals are characterized through the prism of sensations localized in the recipient’s consciousness through the organ of hearing, which adjust the addressee to the perception and interpretation of both natural and artificial sounds. The ways of representation of different acoustic categories using different linguistic means are outlined – first of all, words with a part-linguistic meaning of objectivity, procedural or non-procedural feature.
Tactile perceptions are interpreted as the result of subject-object interaction, contact, direct touch of someone to something or vice versa. The spectrum of tactile vocabulary is quite varied, its differentiation, in addition to nuclear elements, includes units for the designation of tactile sensations related to the determination of temperature, humidity, texture, plasticity, etc.
The specificity of the use of olfactory and gustatory perceptives, their semantic load in the artistic text, is proven.
Key words: perceptual vocabulary, perceptual image, labeled unit, addressee.
