Abstract:
Language is a universal means of communication, the question
may arise that if natural language exists, as a universal means of
communication, why is the language of art needed. What factors can
justify the parallelism on natural and artistic language. Let’s ask the
question – what is transferred during communication and what kind of
information can be transferred. Opinion – opinion can be transferred,
communication is carried out here. Volition – not transmitted. Emotion is
transmitted. If both language and art are means of communication, how
successfully do they convey thought and emotional feelings? Language
– conveys thoughts directly, in a pure form. Emotions are transmitted
indirectly. Art conveys thoughts not directly, but through artistic forms. Because of this, the same work is understood differently by different
people. Natural language conveys meaning directly. The language of art
does not exist without an emotional charge. By conveying emotions,
art becomes a universal medium and this is the main thing, and this
is how it differs from natural language. Another, in natural language,
communications is carried out only between speakers of that language,
unlike him, the language of art is universal, there is one exception,
however, it is the language of literature and poetry, which is based on
natural language, that is why it is necessary to translate it. Heidegger
in his work “Hoelderlin and poetry” notes that language is a grace
and a danger. What does it mean? The language was given “grace” or
the opportunity to be historically. Grace is dangerous because it is
accompanied by mistakes. Poetic creation is the most sinless thing,
that is why the tongue is a grace to show what it is. “Man is in work, but
still he lives poetically on earth.” Why did we choose Hoelderlin’s work
to represent the essence of poetry? Why not Homer, or Shakespeare, or
Goethe… Because Hoelderlin’s poetry is imprinted with a poetic call – to
touch the very essence of poetry. That is, to show the essence of poetry
in the best way – “for us, Hoelderlin is a poet’s poet”.
The communicative function of art is a condition for the
implementation of all its other functions. It is an overcoming of the
limitations of natural language communication capabilities. Language
can spread information only to that part of society that understands it.
For others, the same information is available through translation. The
language of art is a language understandable to all mankind, regardless
of national peculiarities (except for literature, because its material is
the national language).
