СONCERNING NANO-SENSE IN THE ACTUALIZATION OF A NARRATIVE WORLD, AN OFFSHOOT OF POSSIBLE WORLDS
This article analyzes “nano-sense” that emerges by the actualization of a narrative world (i.e. an offshoot of possible worlds that present subject’s views on the reality). Typical indicators of a narrative world are split interferences, extended metaphors, and allusions. Due to the rapid development of nonsense theory and stream of consciousness the scientists start refer to the concept of nano-sense that can be identified out of the comprehension of the meanings of extended metaphors and other expressive means that the author used. In modern linguistics nano-senses are defined as the ultimate units of sense (i.e. the product of lateral thinking). This type of thinking is based on information processing (i.e. creativity, unusual perception of reality, and intuition).The emergence of nano-sense and its Russian translation are examined through the lens of Lewis Carroll’s nonsensical “Alice in Wonderland”. This work of L. Carroll is not a random choice. L. Carroll creates a world that is based on “mirroring device”, that incorporates numerous mathematical, linguistic and philosophical jokes and allusions. The replacement of conventional designations and physical laws by their antipodes provides freedom for the content expression; nonsensical world created by L. Carroll “breaks the laws of sense determination and changes the meanings of the words that cannot be abandoned in reality”.
