Abstract This paper presents an analysis of nonce words that relies on Cognitive Grammar (CG) using the English version of “Jabberwocky” and its two Ukrainian renditions. We identify great variation among the versions, both inter-lingual and intra-lingual. In particular, not only do the versions differ greatly in terms of construal presented in CG terms, but there are various elements that do not, and simply cannot, get through between the English version and the Ukrainian ones. We accordingly propose that the use of Multiple-Parallel-Text (MultiParT) approach can not only help make generalizations across representative text producers within the same language but also allow one to investigate how different systems of human communication are equipped to produce unconventional meaning using its own conventionalized means, and that use of CG is capable of providing a reliable analytical framework with high descriptive adequacy. We also propose that a combination of MultiParT and CG may constitute an advantage in cross-linguistic research of literary semantics and cognitive poetics.

跨语言交付非常规

摘要本文使用英语版本的“ Jabberwocky”及其两个乌克兰语言，对依赖于认知语法（CG）的随机数词进行了分析。我们发现语言间和语言内版本之间存在很大差异。特别是，不仅这些版本在以CG术语表示的解释方面有很大的不同，而且在英语版本和乌克兰版本之间，各种要素无法通过，甚至根本无法通过。因此，我们建议使用多并行文本（MultiParT）方法不仅可以帮助在同一种语言中跨具有代表性的文本生成者进行概括，还可以使人们研究如何利用其不同的人际交流系统产生非常规的含义。自己的常规手段 CG的使用能够提供一个具有高描述性的可靠分析框架。我们还建议，MultiParT和CG的组合可能在文学语义和认知诗学的跨语言研究中构成优势。
