ABSTRACT
The purpose of the article is to identify category of tension in J.D.Salinger’s works. There are two main research trends
of category of tension: category of tensi
on of existence by A.F.Losev’s philosophy; a linguistic nature of tension
category by T.V.Yudina. The representational method let reveal a plan of content and expression of the stories. In
«Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut» and «The Laughing Man» means of tense category representation are identified on
different levels: lexical
–
slangs, vulgar words, author’s words; syntactical –
repetitions, short imperative sentences;
stylistic
–
epithets; a sublime tone of the narration.
KEYWORDS
Category of tension, representation, conflict, state of irritation, dialogue, implication, slang, vulgar words, imperative
sentence, epithet.
INTRODUCTION
The modern literary tradition is characterized by the
development of various linguistic and cultural
categories. Tension has become among the categories
of modernity, the manifestation of which can be traced
in various spheres of modern culture: literature, radio
broadcasts, music, etc. All this actualizes the need to
analyze the content of manifestations of tension. The
relevance of this study is due to the low level of
knowledge of the category of “tension” in modern
linguistics.
In this regard, the purpose of our study is formulated -
to reveal the content of tension in the texts of Jerome
Salinger's works and to identify the means of their
representation. The representational approach in the
study will help to present specific examples of
manifestations of tension in linguistics.

Analysis of the research literature on the problem
allows us to identify the following areas:
-
the study of the category of tension of being in the
philosophical understanding of A.F.Losev;
-
the linguistic nature of tension was studied in the
work of T.V.Yudina.
-
The following trends in understanding the
category of tension A.F.Losev:
-
historical and philosophical in describing the
genesis of the category of tension in the teachings
of the Stoics (III century BC - II-III centuries AD);
-
characteristics of ancient musical aesthetics;
-
a description of his own philosophical and
scientific-philosophical research on the ancient
cosmos, the philosophy of language and the
philosophy of music.
The key core of the category of tension of being is a
single conceptual space, defined by dialectics [1].
In linguistics, the category of tension was carefully
studied by T.V.Yudina, who proves that tension in a
literary text is a consequence of the conflict depicted
in it.
The characters of a literary work become participants
in the artistic conflict. Their relationship and
psychological state at the time of the development of
the conflict is characterized by tension. T.V.Yudina
rightly notes that the category of tension is realized in
a literary text by a certain set of linguistic and
extralinguistic means, determined by the author's
intention, which create the reader's maximum
concentration of attention and expectation of conflict
resolution. Tension is created by means of the
language of various levels: lexical, syntactic and
stylistic. T.V.Yudina comes to the conclusion that the
category of tension is dynamic: in the text it goes
through three stages of development: creation,
intensification and resolution [2].
The empirical basis of the study was the works of the
American writer Jerome David Selinger “Uncle Wiggily
in Connecticut” and “The Laughing Man”. These
sources reveal aspects of the manifestation of tension,
and also form the ideological foundations of the works.
Let us turn to the plan of their content, and then the
plan of expression. The novel “Uncle Wiggily in
Connecticut” [3] is a vivid example of the expression of
tension, the implication in the text. V.F.Panova notes
that Salinger clearly has a Russoist thought: society
spoils an initially beautiful person [4]. We find an
interesting statement from M. Gaismar: the story
describes how an unhappy woman in her family life, a
former city dweller, seeks consolation in drinking, and
her little daughter, left to herself, kills her imaginary
comrade Jimmy Jimmirino [5]. As M. Tugusheva writes,
the heroine betrayed the former world of naturalness,
love and humanity by marrying a prosperous
inhabitant. The moral degradation of Eloise - her petty
tyranny, indifference, rudeness and callousness in
dealing with her daughter and maid can be explained
by a failed fate. Eloise destroys the “dream” of her little
daughter Ramona, who at six is already so alone and
unloved that she invents a boyfriend Jimmy Jimmirino,
and then, when he “gets hit by a car”, another Mickey
Micchirino. Eloise is just as callous and cruel as the
soulless, dream-hostile world to which she belongs: a
world of external well-being, comfort and spiritual
poverty [6].
M.F.Norova interprets the story as a description of the
wretchedness of the spiritual life of society. The story
depicts the poverty of the heroine's inner world, her

pride and cruelty. The selfless love of little Ramona is
opposed to the selfish love of her mother [7].
The main compositional-speech form in the story is
dialogue. Although we learn something of their past
from the author's speech, the main characteristic of
the characters is formed through dialogic speech, that
is, in an indirect way. J.Salinger uses a Sanskrit
rhetorical figure, which is called “subordinate
manifest”. The essence of this figure is as follows: what
is expressed in the work should be more beautiful than
what is shown, and the poetic mood inspired by the
reader should recede into the background. So
expressed in this story is the selfless love of the girl,
and manifested - the selfish feeling of her mother.
Indeed, this feeling of Eloise is conveyed in the text by
the high frequency of vocabulary expressing the
psychological state, character, namely irritability,
disappointment.
For example, Eloise said cheerfully thatr the whole
damn lunch was burned -sweet-breads, everything ...
The use of the whole damn lunch vulgarism indicates
that the heroine is upset, angry. Its repeated repetition
in context:
1. I don’t have one damn thing holy to wear.
2. I got the whole damn place surrounded.
3. …. There isn’t one damn pillow in this house that I
can stand. Who’d you see?
4. I hate this damn
rug anyway …
5. Let go of that damn glass
6. Not that damn little-boy sweet, either.
7. Because he’s too damn unintelligent. [3]
creates a certain mood, a feeling of longing, loneliness.
An indirect way to characterize Eloise is slangisms
(rough or purely colloquial words and expressions with
a full range of connotations: emotional and evaluative)
in the following sentences:
1.
That dopey maid.
2.
Honestly that dope. I did everything but get
Lew to make love to her to get her to come out here
with us.
3.
She’s sitting on her big, black butt reading “The
Robe”.
The slang terms dopey maid, dope, black butt express
a strong degree of indignation and contempt for the
maid Grace.
Thus, the study of the category of tension on the
example of the works of J. Salinger led to the
conclusion that the appeal to tension has become one
of the developing trends in linguistics. To study the
category of tension, the theory of tension of being by
A.F.Losev and the concept of linguistic category
T.Yu.Yudina. The representativeness of tension in the
text at various levels has been established: lexical -
slangisms, vulgarisms, words of the author; syntactic -
repetitions, short imperative sentences; stylistic -
epithets; lofty tone of narration, subtext, uncertainty,
innuendo. The results of the study can serve as a basis
for identifying and substantiating the suggestive
foundations of J.Salinger's works.
