On the Subject-Object Character of the Linguistic Picture of the World in Children’s Rhymes

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to answer the question, how to defi ne the linguistic picture of the world and the linguistic vision of the world in children’s rhymes. Initially, the author of the article presumes that the structure of the linguistic picture of the world is a continuum, whose extreme points are the subjectobject sphere. Then, he raises the question about the subject of the linguistic picture of the world. In children’s rhymes, the subject is an observer and a commentator at the same time. Moreover, it is a subject hidden behind the world presented, and the subject which puts itself at the scene of events being described. Thus, the author defi nes the vision of the world as a subjective aspect of the linguistic perception of the reality, including the presence of the subject – participant of events being described. The subject is registered directly in the meaning of words, linguistically mediated. He calls this kind of subject the (perceiving) objectifi ed one. He defi nes the linguistic picture of the world as an objective aspect of linguistic perception of reality. Even if the subject of the picture of the world – an observer or a viewer – is on the edge of the picture, has still a great impact on it. Subject-object aspect of the picture of the world in children’s poems is a transitive category: an object picture may become subjectifi ed, whereas a subject captured in words – objectifi ed.
