Abstract:

This article views genre variety of some revolutionary songs (invocatory anthems, funeral marching songs commemorating victims of bourgeois revolutions, military songs, hard work camps and exile songs, satiric songs and festival songs) as creolized texts. A creolized text is a text, which comprises both verbal and non-verbal semiotic systems. It requires fundamental understanding of its semiotically more compound, multifunctional, polycode and unconventional audio- and videoverbal nature. The author points out the following specific features of revolutionary songs as creolized texts: musicality, ideologization, narrativeness, persuasiveness, satiricism, tragism, solemnity. These specific features form a linguosemiotic space. An addressant realizes their intentions in this linguosemiotic space in order to more effectively manipulate a recipient. Each revolutionary song genre has its own more or less expressed specific features.
