Danilich V. Formation of the National Language in Spain (A Study of Spanish Written Relics of the 12th-first quarter of the 17th Century).

This thesis focuses on the study of the language of written relics of the 12th – the first quarter 17th century Spain. Social and historical preconditions of the national languages’ formation in the Western Romania territory are analyzed in the thesis. The specificity of Castilian poetics in forming the national language of Spain, the originality of historic and social conditions fostering “Spanization”of the borrowed plots, themes and motives, the development of the literary heritage national context are considered. This allowed to highlight the basic components of Spain lands’ world outlook and aesthetic values, which as a result of the long Spanish society and its language evolution found their reflection in the language system, in the words’ actual meanings. Such linguistic concepts as: tierra, castillo, fortaleza, fuerza, casa, ganancia, ganar, trabajar, hombre, natura and other names of the attributes of life and nature, that fix both richness of the cognitive content and human logic of reasoning are analyzed. It is proved that in the phonetic system of language that is gaining the national status there are real possibilities of the word form variation, to which the criterion of text decorating can be successfully used, especially in combination with other criteria of normativeness, the criterion of conformity to the lexical system in the first place.
