Sviridova Y. Landscape Image in the XX century Australian Poetry: Linguistic, Cognitive and Synergetic Aspects

This research focuses on revealing linguistic cognitive and synergetic properties of the landscape image in the XX century Australian poetry. It highlights cognitive and synergetic mechanisms that lead to the formation of the landscape image via author's linguistic and creative experience and reader's interpretive activity. The landscape image is viewed both as a cognitive construal which incorporates three planes: pre-conceptual, conceptual and verbal and as a synergic formation, which is based on the interaction of its elements within the triad: the author/reader (ratio) - nature (emotio) - creativity (intuitio). It is proved that the mechanisms of the landscape image formation in poetic texts are predetermined by cognitive operations of mapping alongside with cognitive procedures of generalization, extension modification, intertextualization, and perspectivization and synergetic processes of bifurcation and trans-dimensional transition alongside with procedures of gradual transit from disjunction to conjunction which trigger the generation of meaning and self-recurrence of images and senses. The methodology of explicating ethno-archetypes incorporated in poetic texts is aimed at reconstruction of the pre-conceptual plane which embodies primeval emotional knowledge. Contours of the conceptual plane of the landscape image are revealed via the reconstruction of concepts and the analysis of their conceptual characteristics. The ethno-cultural peculiarities of the world's conceptualization are reflected through the different types of landscape images. Key words: landscape image, linguistic, cognitive, synergetic mechanisms, pre-conceptual, conceptual and verbal planes, ethno-archetype, bifurcation, trans-dimensional transition.
