Annotation

The paper presents the study of semiotic elements seen as constituents of the Renaissance reflexive discourse. The relevance of the research relates to the necessity of a complex analysis of the reflexive discourse construction. This type of discourse is defined as a means to verbalize someone`s cognition including cultural and axiological subjective systems. The study correlates with up-to-date conceptions of discursive, cognitive, and axiological bases of language practices. In this regard, the aim is to identify functions of specific linguistic signs — handwritten quotations left by Michel Montaigne on his private library joists. The leading research method is the conceptual-axiological analysis that allows to rebuild cognitive and communicative experience of the philosopher on the basis of recurrent concepts and values presented in his reflexive discourse. The author justifies that semiotic elements are diachronic precedent texts, that represent the library’s topos and play a key role in constructing reflexive discourse as well as in translating values. The material of the study includes 64 Latin and Greek handwritings, left on Montaigne ʼs library joists. It is substantiated that conciseness and lapidarity emerge as categories of precedent texts on joists because microtexts serve as mnemonic signs. Montaigneʼs text trace is crucial for the Renaissance reflexive discourse. As the result of conceptual-axiological analysis of semiotic signs the author reveals core concepts and values of precedent texts: wisdom, knowledge, life, death, God, human. Major axiological categories of Montaigne ʼs discourse are renunciation of judgment, moderation, self-sufficiency, natural course of events, anthropocentrism. The developed model of reflexive discourseʼs analysis contributes to discursive-cognitive studies and may be extrapolated on exploring other historical persons as well as conceptual and axiological elements building up their worldviews.
