The story about the prophecy of the sorcerer Valaam is an essential plot component of the “Word about the Star of Irania,” an ancient Russian homily dedicated to Christmas events. The source study of the text under consideration was performed by comparing it with various texts of the Old Russian tradition treating the history of Valaam from the perspectives of the Christmas narrative (with the Menaion services of the Christmas cycle, the Explanatory Palea, the Historical Palea). The analysis revealed the story about Valaam in the “Word about the Star of Irania” to be connected with the Explanatory Palea. However, its author uses several unique readings from the Historical Palea: Balaam’s service to Baal, the desire to curse, and the Persian recording of Balaam’s prophecy, possibly related to Jewish exegetical comments on the Pentateuch of Moses. Another source of the “Word about the Star of Irania” proves to be the word of “Adoration of the Magi” from the Prologue, the second (Large) edition. It is confirmed by the unity of the components in the narrative plan and the paraphrastic processing of separate fragments from the prologue text by the author of “Word about the Star of Irania.” The context of the handwritten collections where the “Word about the Star of Irania” exists and its literary connections indicate that Kirill Turovsky, or the scribes of his school, were involved in its creation. The Word about the Star of Irania” genre specificity “allows us to define the literary monument as a homily.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of epic works aimed at examining the semantic structures of two adjectives, alag in Buryat and ala in Khakas. The analysis findings provide a comprehensive picture of the semantic space of the words under study. Special attention is paid to word-to-word connections in the epic language, allowing the nomination motive to be identified. This study has contributed to uncovering the new meanings of the adjective alag, namely “brilliant,” “anxious,” and “dulled,” which are not specified in Mongolian-Russian dictionaries. The issue of the primary and secondary meanings is considered to be crucial in studying the semantic transitions within a polysemant. It is suggested that the meaning of “motley” was derived from the meaning “brilliant,” referring to the predominance of light spots or stripes. The word alag is assumed to have combined with the synonyms erēn “variegated” and sōhor “motley” in the epos language after losing the supposed primary meaning “brilliant.” Identifying the common meaning of “shining” in Turkic-Mongolian epic reflects the peculiarities of the national-cultural worldview of related peoples. The language representation of perceptual information is regarded as a result of the primary stage of self-knowledge, reflecting the mental-psychological and national-cultural specificity of Turkic-Mongolian people. Studying the semantic structure of the adjective alag / ala is expected to identify some general lines of the perceptual information implementation in Turkic and Mongolian languages.

The paper aims at studying the external (technical) aspect of natural written speech text as a characteristic contributing to the materialization of the text as a sign and, at the same time, to its genre identification. The analysis of a girl’s diary genre reveals the heuristic possibilities of creolization as a genre-relevant property of the formal organization of the text, with its texture synthesized by various semiotic systems. Given the relationship between the graphematic means and the codes of other semiotic systems, two types of texts are identified. These are (1) partially creolized texts with autosemantic relations between the verbal and visual components based on the autonomy of structural elements of the text and (2) completely creolized texts with synsemantic relations between the graphematic means and the elements of other semiotic systems. The functions of a girl’s diary as a creolized text are determined: presentational function, contributing to the author’s self-expression; axiological function, aimed at representing the value dominants of a teenage girl; and gaming, determined by the phatic and dialogical components of the text. The combinations of elements of various semiotic systems contributing to the creation of substantial metagraphemics of the text are investigated. Graphematic means are seen to synthesize with various elements of supragraphemics, making it possible to transform the text contents (variation of font, intensity of graphemes); topographemics, associated with the planar variation of the text (paper constructions that change the spatial design of the text); and chromographemics, associated with the color design of the text.

This paper deals with the poem by V. Sosnora, “The Battle of Mstislav with Rededya” (1959). The poem is based on the story of “The Russian Primary Chronicl” under 6530 (1022) devoted to the event mentioned in the title. According to the poet, when writing his “historical” poems, he “re-imagines” the material of ancient Russian monuments and brings it closer to the modern reader. The poet’s creative method was often misunderstood by critics and satirists who referred to his “irreverent” treatment of history. In terms of literary criticism, “re-imagining” implies using a rich palette of poetic means of allusions and associations, a deliberate mixture of ancient and modern, and others. Addressing the named story of “The Russian Primary Chronicl,” as well as to other chronicle stories and “The Song of Igor’s Campaign,” Sosnora creates a poetical plot. This plot emphasizes the dynamics of the duel of chronicle characters, marks individual features of their appearance, hides by default an important detail for the chronicle narrative (knife), and introduces a dialogue (an expressive squabble before the battle of the title characters), reworking the chronicle event to give the battle scene “visual”, “cinematic” effect. This could not be the case in Old Russian narration subordinated to literary etiquette. By arranging the semantic and rhythmic accents under his idea, the poet seems to offer a fantastic reconstruction of one of the Boyan’s songs.

The paper examines how Turgenev’s tradition is reinterpreted in the story “Late-Blooming Flowers,” belonging to the early period of Chekhov’s creative work. Attention is paid to the system of images and techniques of their depiction, the manor world, and reverence for the word. The analysis of Chekhov’s and Turgenev’s landscapes revealed that the ways of depict- ing familiar images were transformed into clichés. Psychological parallelism in Turgenev’s work contributes to the understanding of the characters’ inner states. Chekhov describes na- ture in cursory strokes by combining heterogeneous concepts in one row, leading to a comic effect. He ironically refers to the technique of creating the main characters with external facial features not indicative of the hero’s inner state. The change of literary eras also affects the type of hero, demanding a different artistic challenge. The change of values allows Chekhov to express his attitude to the modern era: the moral values of the past are consigned to oblivi- on. In Chekhov’s story, the manor world is destroyed, with the honor and dignity of the noble word replaced by drunkenness and riotous life. To summarize, Chekhov reinterpreted Turge- nev’s tradition not by criticizing the writing style but by expressing his attitude toward the writing process. For it was no longer possible to write as one did before, the literature of Che- khov’s time required new ways of imagery. It is through rethinking the Turgenev tradition that Chekhov assesses the moral foundation of the modern era, revealing the impossibility of the former way of life to exist.

This paper considers the manifestations of nostalgia in the narrative and plot scenes of the protagonists of Russian young emigrants’ fiction of the 1930s – early 1940s. The focus is on the works of B. Poplavsky, G. Gazdanov, and J. Felzen. A reduction of nationally oriented nostalgic myths and feelings can be seen in the prose of young emigrants. However, a strengthened existential nostalgia is evident: a longing for the fullness of existence and wholeness of being or awareness of the impossibility of finding a new Home in the reality where one is abandoned and unrooted. The national nostalgia reduction determines the national identity reduction. The internal crisis of the heroes under study proves to be an identity crisis, intensified by an existential crisis. Their situation in an alien world is an existential dead end amid total disorientation. The heroes’ attempts to overcome existential nostalgia are different but equally fruitless: the entry into the “paradise of friends” and the Russian women’s love (“Apollo Bezobrazov” and “Home from Heaven” of Poplavsky), the myth of the House and the understanding of one’s past (“A Tale of One Travel” and “Night Roads” of Gazdanov), an appeal to the poet’s work, bringing the feeling of fullness of being in Russia (“Letters about Lermontov” of Felzen). To conclude, when interpreting nostalgia (its reduction), we find the prose of young emigrants to be closer not to the “older” generation of Russian emigration but to the Western emigrant prose (“Tropic of Cancer” by Miller and “Triumphal Arch” by Remarque).
本文研究了20世纪30年代至40年代初俄罗斯青年移民小说中主人公的叙事和情节场景中乡愁的表现。重点是B. Poplavsky, G. Gazdanov和J. Felzen的作品。在年轻移民的散文中,可以看到以国家为导向的怀旧神话和情感的减少。然而,一种增强的存在怀旧是显而易见的:一种对存在的丰满和存在的完整性的渴望,或者意识到在一个被抛弃和无根的现实中不可能找到一个新的家。民族怀旧的减少决定了民族认同的减少。所研究的英雄的内在危机被证明是一种身份危机,一种存在危机加剧了这种危机。他们在一个陌生世界的处境是一个存在的死胡同,完全迷失方向。主人公们克服存在主义怀旧的尝试各不相同,但同样是徒劳的:进入“朋友的天堂”和俄罗斯女人的爱情(Poplavsky的《阿波罗·别佐布拉索夫》和《天堂之家》),宅邸的神话和对自己过去的理解(Gazdanov的《一次旅行的故事》和《夜路》),对诗人作品的吸引力,带来了在俄罗斯的充实感(Felzen的《关于莱蒙托夫的信》)。总而言之,在解释怀旧(怀旧的减少)时,我们发现年轻移民的散文更接近西方移民散文(米勒的《北回归线》和雷马克的《凯旋门》),而不是更接近“老一代”的俄罗斯移民。

The paper considers the question of Turgenev’s influence on the novel of A. P. Chekhov “The Story of an Unknown Man.” It is well known that Chekhov was affected by the works of his great predecessor. Scholars consider the novel under consideration to be the text with the most significant influence of Turgenev. Three works of Turgenev are mentioned or quoted in the short novel: “Fathers and Children,” “On the Eve,” and “Three Encounters. This work aimed to identify and analyze the Turgenev motifs in Chekhov’s novel. The principal method of research is comparative-historical. Various types of artistic dialogue can be discussed, from direct quotations and reminiscences to a hidden dispute with Turgenev’s worldview. Besides identifying the typological connection between the characters of Turgenev and Chekhov, an attempt was made to analyze the artistic vision of the world of both writers. It was found that Chekhov and Turgenev both agreed on the indisputable importance of parental love, despite their differing opinions on such fundamental concepts as the love between a man and a wom- an and the existence of entire and powerful people. Also, Turgenev and Chekhov proved to have a similar understanding of the sorrow and briefness of human life. Both writers share the ability to accept quiet as a response to the most pressing queries. Both writers had a prefer- ence for silence as an answer to the most pressing questions.

Expressive expressions of qualitative characterization as non-isosemic constructions coincide in form with existential sentences. Existential construction is used metaphorically: gde est’ chto (existence) → v kom / chem est’ kakoy-to priznak (qualitative characterization), formed by non-isosemic filling of its positions. Thus, the lexeme of locative semantics is replaced by a combination v kom / v chem (in whom/in what), with the possible choice of prepositional-case forms limited to the only form of the prepositional case with the preposition v (in). The subject and predicate positions in isosemic and non-isosemic existential structures are replaced by words of different denotative classes. In the sentences of existence, the subject is expressed by nouns, denoting objects of an external, sensually perceived world. The sentences of qualitative characterization have their subject position occupied by words of qualitative semantics denoting distinctive, permanent qualities, resulting in the semantics of existence drifting towards qualitative characterization. Thus, the verb est’ (to be) as the predicate of existence does not literally express existence but performs a service function. Unlike the isosemic existential constructions, non-isosemic constructions of qualitative characterization lack variation in person and number, with the isosemic verb position being obligatory and the structure having a non-variative form. Non-isosemic expressions have additional semantic components: non-categorical designation of a feature, uncertainty of the author of the statement about the characteristics of the subject, and low trait manifestation degree. With certain restrictions on how the subject and predicate positions are filled, the non-isosemic structure features additional meanings: modus, evaluative, expressive, intensity values, etc.
作为非等音结构的定性表征表达在形式上与存在句一致。存在主义结构是隐喻性的:gde est ' chto(存在)→v kom / chem est ' kakoy-to priznak(定性表征),由其位置的非等距填充形成。因此,位置语义的词素被v kom / v chem (in whom/in what)的组合所取代,而介词格形式的可能选择仅限于介词格与介词v (in)的唯一形式。等音和非等音存在结构中的主谓位置被不同外延类的词所取代。在存在句中,主词是用名词来表示的,指的是外部感官世界中的客体。定性表征句的主体位置被表征独特的、永恒的特质的定性语义词所占据,从而导致存在语义向定性表征漂移。因此,动词est’(to be)作为存在的谓词,并不是字面上表达存在,而是执行服务功能。与等距存在句不同,非等距定性结构缺乏人称和数的变化,动词的等距位置是必须的,结构具有不变的形式。非等音表达具有额外的语义成分:特征的非范畴指定,陈述作者对主语特征的不确定性,以及低特征表现程度。在对主谓位置的填充方式有一定限制的情况下,非等音结构具有额外的含义:模态、评价值、表达值、强度值等。

Non-isosemic expressions have additional semantic components: non-categorical designation of a feature, uncertainty of the author of the statement about the characteristics of the subject, and low trait manifestation degree. With certain restrictions on how the subject and predicate positions are filled, the non-isosemic structure features additional meanings: modus, evaluative, expressive, intensity values, etc.","PeriodicalId":53939,"journal":{"name":"Sibirskii Filologicheskii Zhurnal","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67578468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
This paper considers the communicative variation in the Surgut dialect of Khanty, one of the indigenous languages of Siberia. A typical existential syntactic structure comprises three elements, to be referred to here as “subject,” “localizer,” and “predicate.” The prototypical meaning of this structure can be represented by simple existential sentences. The analysis covers 200 realizations of this structure sampled from a collection of texts representing different genres and idioms of the Surgut dialect. Four main variants of the structure are identified, taking into account both the constituent order and intonation structure. The realizations are grouped under the context in which they are used and their function in the text. These groups represent several distinct communicative situations in which the structure concerned is commonly used: discovering an object when observing a visible area, establishing the time, place, and main characters at the beginning of a text, switching attention to a new object, and others. These situations are grouped into three main situations determined by the position of the main focus on the subject, localizer, or predicate. Each main situation is associated with a specific communicative variant, in which the focal element is placed in such a way as to be emphasized intonationally. The realizations with pronominal adverbs in the localizer position are considered separately. It is in these cases that the focal subject causes two communicative variants that appear to be interchangeable, as no direct correlation between these communicative variants and the types of communicative situations has been found.

The paper focuses on the genre aspect of literary works, in which the historical memory of the conquest of Siberia was generated. The ballad “Ermak” written by A. N. Muravyov, considered in terms of historiography and fiction of its time, served as the primary source. The study has revealed that the ballad genre model developed in the 1810s was implemented in the material not common for ballads, i.e. the history of Siberia. Such an approach allowed the poet to revise the “Ermak’s plot” taken from the late-medieval chronicles and poetry of modern times in the context of current historical and cultural challenges of the post- Napoleonic era. Muravyov was the first to adapt the “imported” European genre of a literary ballad with its chronotope to the thematic space of the Russian eastern periphery and presented the history of Siberia as a fully-fledged and meaningful part of the country’s history. Thus, it is not the ethnographic details of the journey beyond the Urals, but the problem of historical memory and the symbolic monument to Ermak that the poet focuses on. The constructive and semantic dominant of this genre, i.e. the invasion of the past into the present in the guise of “alive” and “dead” allowed the poet to actualize the memory of the conquest of Siberia in the national memory and revise the image of Ermak image within a framework of the genre form and the spirit of the time.
本文着重研究文学作品的体裁方面,在体裁方面产生了征服西伯利亚的历史记忆。a·n·穆拉维约夫(A. N. Muravyov)写的叙事诗《埃尔马克》(Ermak)被认为是当时史学和小说的主要来源。研究表明,19世纪10年代发展起来的民谣体裁模式是在民谣中不常见的材料中实现的,即西伯利亚的历史。这种方法使诗人能够在拿破仑时代后的历史和文化挑战的背景下修改从中世纪晚期编年史和现代诗歌中提取的“埃尔马克的情节”。穆拉维约夫是第一个将“舶来品”的欧洲文学民谣流派与它的时间旋律结合到俄罗斯东部边缘的主题空间的人,并将西伯利亚的历史作为国家历史中一个成熟而有意义的部分呈现出来。因此,诗人关注的不是乌拉尔山脉之外的民族志细节,而是历史记忆问题和埃尔马克的象征性纪念碑。这一体裁的建构性和语义性主导,即以“生”与“死”为外衣的过去对现在的入侵,使诗人得以在民族记忆中实现征服西伯利亚的记忆,并在体裁形式与时代精神的框架内对埃尔马克形象进行修正。
