of artistry with regard to its text realization by means of a natural language. The
purpose is to formulate the theoretic principles of distinction between narration and lyric
as two versions of cognitive modeling of the reality. The theoretical basis of the study
is elaborated by the author “philosophy of literary word” and interdisciplinary, general
humanitarian narration theory on the basis of communicative and cognitive-oriented
approach. The methodology of the study is the cognitive-discursive analysis of a text.
The study shows that verbal way of embodiment of the category of artistry reflects a
special type of consciousness oriented towards linguo-creative and heuristic modeling
of otherness which is transcendent in relation to the speaker’s reality, to that we call
“simply life” which involves to two additionally distributed modes of existence – being
in event and being in experience. In accordance with this, two ways of verbal cognitive
modeling of aesthetic kind: (1) the narration cognitive model; (2) the lyric cognitive
model. Narration is based on the model of objectification, i.e. unfolding in temporal
sequence of something that happens out of subject’s zone, when so-called “outside
world” is the focus; lyric realizes the model of registration of reactive non-reflected
intentional experience of things which a subject feels himself, when inner world is the
focus. The author distinguished consistently narration1 and lyric1 as phenomena of human
everyday existence and, accordingly, narration2 and lyric2 as turning natural things into semiotic ones, nature into culture due to aesthetic transformation. Both versions of
cognitive modeling of the reality are conditioned by some peculiarities of a natural language.
Aesthetic transformation of “simply life” in its two versions is realized by a natural
language by the use of universal mechanisms of a conceptual (cognitive) metaphor
of pictorial or expressive types. In this, lyric is a kind of dominance of modus over dictum,
and narration is, vice-versa, a kind of prevalence of dictum over modus. Findings
are that there is not any special “aesthetic language” – we deal with the most ordinary
language, simply in especial conditions of its functioning, in especial mode of communication
and with especial intentionality, simply used in especial function of cognitive
modeling of probabilistic states of the world and / or mind.
