DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF AMERICAN FINE ARTS PRODUCTS IN TERMS OF THEIR TITLES
The variability of discursive practices based on the titles of American fine arts products is described in the article. In modern Russian linguistics, discourse is analyzed as the unity of the text and the context in terms of their socio-cultural and linguistic components. From the interpretation of «discourse», it may be concluded that the titles of fine arts products cover a lot of specific properties and features of the discursive space. The titles of the pictures under analysis are associated with the topic of childhood. The topic of childhood is rather multifolded so the results of the research in the present article are limited to the description of the subgroup including the names of animals since the animals constitute an integral part of the childhood world - they help children to explore the world and develop a sense of caring and responsibility. The authors of the canvases apply the verbalized versions of the constituents forming the above mentioned nominative paradigm to demonstrate the spiritual world of childhood in the most vivid and colourful manner.
