Question

Допоможіть будь ласка зробити аналіз 7 завдання, Find cases of transposition on the morphological level in the sentences: a) “But he was aware of the noises of the night, the engines at Stacks Gate, the traffic on the main road”; b)” The fault lay there, out there, in those evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines.” What ideas are implied by these transpositions? Explain the possible additional meaning of the demonstrative pronoun those in sentence b), which is a result of transposition on the morphological level.

Answer 1

Найдите случаи транспозиции на морфологическом уровне в предложениях: а)” но он был осведомлен о шумах ночи, двигателях у ворот стека, движении на главной дороге”; б) " вина лежала там, там, в этих злых электрических огнях и дьявольских грохотах двигателей."Какие идеи подразумеваются этими транспозициями? Объясните возможное дополнительное значение показательного местоимения в предложении b), которое является результатом транспозиции на морфологическом уровне.

Знайдіть випадки транспозиції на морфологічному рівні в реченнях: а)" але він був обізнаний про шуми ночі, двигунах біля воріт стека, рух на головній дорозі"; б) " вина лежала там, там, в цих злих електричних вогнях і диявольських грохотах двигунів."Які ідеї маються на увазі цими транспозициями? Поясніть можливе додаткове значення показового займенника в реченні b), яке є результатом транспозиції на морфологічному рівні.

Answer 2

Transposition on the morphological level in language involves changing the arrangement of morphemes (the smallest grammatical units) in a sentence. Let's analyze the two sentences you provided:

a) “But he was aware of the noises of the night, the engines at Stacks Gate, the traffic on the main road.”

In this sentence, there is no obvious case of transposition on the morphological level. The sentence is grammatically straightforward, with no rearrangement of morphemes or words that would imply any additional meaning.

b) “The fault lay there, out there, in those evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines.”

In this sentence, there is a case of transposition on the morphological level. The repetition of the phrase "out there" is a clear example of transposition. Normally, we would expect the sentence to be structured as: "The fault lay there, in those evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines."

The idea implied by this transposition is that the speaker is emphasizing or drawing attention to the location of the fault. By using "out there" twice, the speaker is stressing that the fault is not just "there" but further away or more distant, adding a sense of remoteness or separation. It could also suggest that the fault is not easily accessible or visible, requiring extra effort to reach or understand.

Now, let's consider the additional meaning of the demonstrative pronoun "those" in sentence b) due to the transposition:

Without transposition: "The fault lay there, in evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines."

With transposition: "The fault lay there, out there, in those evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines."

The use of "those" in the transposed sentence implies a contrast or comparison between the "evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines" and other similar things in the surrounding context. By using "those," the speaker refers to specific evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines, suggesting that they have been previously mentioned, known, or are distinctive in some way.

In conclusion, transpositions on the morphological level in sentence b) emphasize the location of the fault, indicating a sense of remoteness or separation. Additionally, the use of "those" due to transposition implies a specific reference to evil electric lights and diabolical rattlings of engines, potentially contrasting them with other similar entities in the context.
