| Summary: | The article investigates the foregrounding devices in Olzhas Suleymenov’s poetry which are determined by the poet’s natural translinguocultural thinking and bilingual consciousness. Generally, different types of linguistic deviation actualised in O. Suleymenov’s works aim to produce the foregrounding effect in creating the Russian-language poetic text under the influence of his native Kazakh language. The two types of linguocultural reflection of reality in the text of a translingual poet - subconscious and special (intentional) are being analysed. The merging of Kazakh and Russian cultural factors in O. Suleyme-nov’s poetry is viewed as an integration of different images, concepts and values expressed by means of the Russian language. The complex semantic-stylistic analysis of foregrounding devices is carried out using the verse (“Айтыс”) which is initially charged by the Kazakh cultural images and values. By analogy with the Kazakh figurative expression «Иттің баласы» (“Son of a dog”) the author creates his own individ-ual expression «Сын волка» (“Son of a wolf”). Following from this the intertextual basis of the verse is being analyzed: according to the Turkic mythology, Sky wolf Kokbori is considered to be an ancestor of the Turks, so a wolf is traditionally associated with the first mother of all the Turkic people. The use of this kind of foregrounding devices in the text shows that various knowledge structures about ethnic images and cul-tural values tend to be activated in the process of the author’s creative interpretation of sociocultural reality. |
