THE CONCEPT “LONDON” AS A TEMPORAL CODE OF LINGUOCULTURE IN THE LITERARY AND REGIONAL WORK OF PETER ACKROYD “LONDON: THE BIOGRAPHY”
Abstract
This article analyzes the spatial-temporal code of
lingua-culture as one of the components of the general cognitive-matrix model
of the structure of the concept "London" in the literary and regional
work of Peter Ackroyd "London: The Biography". This approach
implements integration of cognitive-matrix modeling of the structure of the
concept and the system of codes of lingua-culture (anthropomorphic,
temporal, vegetative, spiritual, social, chemical, etc.) The space-time
code of the concept "London" is presented as a system of conceptual
metaphors, reflecting various aspects of the space-time continuum of a given
metropolis: 1) London as a labyrinth of time (MEASURE
OF TIME), historical analogies with ancient cities(BABYLON, ROME,
JERUSALEM); 2) City in periods: TROUBLED TIMES (A SOLID WALL OF FIRE, OVERHEATED
CITY, CITY IN TEARS, TRIPLE TREE) / HOLY TIMES (HEAVENLY GATES, LAND FROM
GOLGOTHA, AURA OF HOLY TIME, ELIXIR OF LIFE); 3) London as a labyrinth of space
(WATER OBJECTS: A SEA, AN OCEAN, THE THAMES, NIAGARA; LABYRINTH HALF OF STONE,
HALF OF FLESH); 4) London time as a prison (TIME TURNS INTO PRISON, TIME IS NOT
REDEEMABLE, NOT TIME-SPARED MONUMENTS).This study
reveals the author's intention to present London as the metropolitan continuum
that evolves in space and time, physically expressed by “vague buzz of
the time itself… It impresses more than the roar of a storm or a waterfall, for
there is a presence of human’s will and conscious movement in it”.
