What is alogism? Alogism as a rhetorical device - literary theory - litnet. New explanatory and word-formative dictionary of the Russian language, T. F. Efremova
ALOGISM
as a literary technique - the introduction into literary speech of all kinds of logically meaningless moments, absurdities in literary speech, the destruction of logical and causal connections, speech movement according to random associations. Of the most important types of A., we note: the discrepancy between the syntactic and semantic movement of speech, the opposition (comparison) of moments that do not contain anything opposite (common) (“I. I. is of a somewhat timid nature. I. N., on the contrary, has trousers in such folds...", etc.), an imaginary (absurd) conclusion, a logical gap between remarks, a verbal cover of a logical void, etc. A. most often takes place in the prologue, in the speech of the narrator. Moreover, A. is usually associated with an orientation toward the comic, irony, grotesque, and irrational. The role of A. in Gogol is very important (see).

Logic and philosophy
In philosophy, illogicalism is understood not only as a logical error, but also as the denial of logical thinking and logic as a means of achieving truth, as a fundamental principle. Philosophical doctrines and trends, an essential aspect of which is alogism, include irrationalism, mysticism, fideism, intuitionism, and intuitionism. As a means of knowledge, these theories propose intuition as a direct intuitive comprehension of truth, faith or revelation. At the same time, alogism is used as a principle not only in the field of epistemology or logic, but also in the field of aesthetics and philosophy of mathematics (the problem of substantiating mathematics and knowledge in mathematics).
Literature
In poetics, alogism is understood as a literary device (stylistic figure) - a violation of the logical connection in literary speech. Alogism is closely related to absurdity and nonsense.
Varieties of illogicalism are: discrepancy between syntactic and semantic structure speeches; violation of the logical connection (logical gap) between speech patterns, phrases, remarks, in separate parts dialogue; opposition of objects and properties that do not contain anything opposite, or comparison of objects and properties devoid of any similarity; an imaginary absurd conclusion; destruction of causal connections; movement of speech according to random associations; a meaningless or meaningless statement.
Ivan Ivanovich is of a somewhat timid nature. Ivan Nikiforovich, on the contrary, has trousers with such wide folds... (N.V. Gogol.)
I will never forget whether it happened or not, this evening. (A. A. Blok)
Alogism is often used to create a comic effect and is associated with an attitude toward irony, the grotesque, and the irrational. The comic effect of alogisms is used in folklore (folk riddles), in the works of satirists (N.V. Gogol, fables and aphorisms of Kozma Prutkov), in funny poems for children (K.I. Chukovsky, D.I. Kharms, etc.). The use of alogism to show the illogicality and irrationality of reality is characteristic of the work of Gogol, Lautreamont, F. Kafka, the surrealists, the Oberiuts, and the theater of the absurd.

Alogism
(Greek a – negative particle, logismos – mind), 1) stylistic figure; is a syntactic correlation of semantically unrelated parts of a phrase with the help of its auxiliary elements expressing a certain type of logical connection (cause-and-effect, generic relations, etc.): “The car drives fast, but the cook cooks better” (E. Ionesco, “The Bald Singer”). Alogism as a figure is often used in the drama of the absurd.
2) The extreme degree of development of images and plot in satirical works(D.I. Kharms, “Pakin and Rakukin”: “But here from behind the closet a tall figure of the angel of death came out and, taking Rakukin’s soul by the hand, led it somewhere, right through houses and walls. But then the angel of death gave way, and Rakukinskaya soul, bouncing and stumbling, disappeared into the distance around the bend").

In literature and everyday life often have to deal with misuse various words, metaphors, epithets, incorrect construction of sentences and the structure of the text as a whole, which makes it difficult to perceive and evaluate information. There is a special term to define this phenomenon - alogism. What does this concept mean, where did it come from? What is alogism in language and literature, its types and examples of use? It wouldn’t hurt to learn about all this not only for those whose activities involve writing and reading texts, but also for everyone who wants to learn how to express their thoughts correctly, beautifully and meaningfully.
What does alogism mean in general?
Alogism is a word of Greek origin, based on the preposition of negation “a” (translated into Russian as “not”) and the root “logoz”, that is, reason, consistent thinking, logic. Comparing these two parts, it is easy to understand that alogism means inconsistent thinking, a course of thoughts and reasoning that is inexplicable from the point of view of logic, which runs counter to reality and actions.
Alogism is often introduced in order to hide true events, to justify or explain rash actions. Sometimes these are facts or a formal definition of something that contradict formally established standards and a logical chain of inferences. Alogism is divided into the following types:
- Intentional type - when an error identified during a logical analysis of reasoning pursues a specific goal. In this case we're talking about about sophistry.
- Unintentional type– when a mistake is made by accident. Then they talk about paralogism.
An example is easy to find by examining legislation, various codes, legal certificates, court testimony, and other documentation. Very often, illogicalities are recorded in impromptu and spontaneous interviews.
What does the word “alogism” mean in Russian?
In the Russian language, the concept of “alogism” is a deliberate, meaningful introduction of absurd speech patterns that do not carry any semantic load and are not logically connected with other parts of the text. It may simply be an intuitive form of expression, meaningless, incoherent. If illogicalities are removed from the text, the essence will not suffer from this. But the shade of grotesque, ironic tone, sarcasm will go away.
There is an associative type of alogism - a story built on the principle “what I see is what I write.” This is done in order to show the reader the comedy, the irony of the situation or the absurdity of the hero of the work, in order to determine the author’s position - mocking, condescending or contemptuous.
Alogisms are used to cause laughter and amuse the reader and listener. Hidden irony is either revealed immediately, in the words themselves, or explained later.
Alogism - examples of use in Russian
In Russian and literary works Alogism is used when it is necessary to convey to the reader the comic nature of the situation. Classic examples Alogisms are common in Russian folklore, satirical and ironic stories. It is found in riddles, fables, modern counting rhymes and poems - in Chukovsky, Kozma Prutkov, Pushkin. Sometimes, with the help of alogisms, logical voids in the narrative are filled.
A striking example of illogic: introductions, sayings to folk tales, proverbs and sayings.
When using illogic in everyday speech, you need to be careful not to appear ignorant or rude. Or abandon them and use a different speech style.
