LINGVOCONFLICTOLOGIC ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEMS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of certain conflict-containing elements of national anthems. Several factors such as mobilizing, motivating, etc. which form programming structure of an anthem text are examined. Different structural types of hymns, e.g. tolerant anthems, anthems as descriptions of the conflict (battle), revolution anthems of different types etc., are described. Conflictogenous lexemes, e.g. enemy, aggressor, tyrant, slavery, despot, fetters, blood etc. are determined. It is demonstrated, that in a number of anthems the enemy is nominated specifically and that is related to historical development of the country. One of the variants of the enemy nomination can be ethnophaulisms. Results of research have shown that the overwhelming majority of national anthems contain conflictogenous components. In several anthems the conflict theme is the primary topic.
