V.morenovsv@ssau.ruhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097Samara National Research University010420162241001040305201703052017Copyright © 2016, Kuznetsova L.V.2016<p>The variability of discursive practices based on the titles of</p>
<p>American fine arts products is described in the article. In modern</p>
<p>Russian linguistics, discourse is analyzed as the unity of the text</p>
<p>and the context in terms of their socio-cultural and linguistic</p>
<p>components. From the interpretation of discourse, it may be</p>
<p>concluded that the titles of fine arts products cover a lot of specific</p>
<p>properties and features of the discursive space. The titles of the</p>
<p>pictures under analysis are associated with the topic of childhood.</p>
<p>The topic of childhood is rather multifolded so the results of the</p>
<p>research in the present article are limited to the description of the</p>
<p>subgroup including the names of animals since the animals</p>
<p>constitute an integral part of the childhood world they help</p>
<p>children to explore the world and develop a sense of caring and</p>
<p>responsibility. The authors of the canvases apply the verbalized</p>
<p>versions of the constituents forming the above mentioned nominative</p>
<p>paradigm to demonstrate the spiritual world of childhood in the</p>
<p>most vivid and colourful manner.</p>
