Abstract
Aim. To identify the specific features of verbs of movement used as proxemes that form the literary space in the background terminal forming cognitive scenes in H. James's novel “The Bostonians” and H. Sudermann's “Dame Care”.
Methodology. This paper interprets the features of the representation of literary space in the multilingual texts of H. James's novel “The Bostonians” and H. Sudermann's novel “Dame Care”. The proxemes revealed in the background terminals of cognitive text scenes are studied. In the course of the study of the cognitive scene background terminal proxeme aspect, a cognitive-hermeneutic analysis was carried out. The research material were the multilingual texts of Henry James's novel “The Bostonians” and Hermann Sudermann's novel “Dame Care”.
Results. According to the study, cognitive scenes are of high-frequency in the texts of both novels. The proxeme spectrum of background terminals of textual cognitive scenarios is represented mainly by verbs of movement. The most frequent type of verb-proxeme in both multilingual texts are verbs in the Past Simple / Präteritum tense (simple past tense). Verbs in Past Perfect / Perfekt tense are less frequent proxemes.
Research implications. The theoretical and practical significance lies in determining the specifics of the construction of cognitive scenes as a dynamic segment of the conceptual sphere of the literary world of writers of the 19th century – H. James and H. Sudermann, in replenishing the theoretical and methodological basis of textual cognitive scenes interpretation with a detailed description of verbs of movement as one of the types of proxemes that form the literary space.
