DESCRIPTIVE VARIANTS OF AESTHETIC SIGNALS (CASE STUDIES ON PARALLEL AESTHETIC SIGNALS IN FOLKSONGS)

Abstract

Aesthetic signals belong to the type of symbolic ones in the system of expressive means of art. In literary works, aesthetic signals are demonstrated via language substance. The analysis of aesthetic signals in literary works is supposed to be based on the following: a) lexical variants of constant aesthetic signals; b) descriptive variants - realizations of constant aesthetic signals; c) variants resulting from a combination of signals with signals in literary works. In this paper, we focus on an investigation into the descriptive variants of parallel aesthetic signals in Vietnamese folksongs, thereby contributing to the systematic and justifiable clarification of the meanings of aesthetic signals, motifs and symbols of the national literature.
