THE RUSSIAN WORLD IN THE RUSSIAN NOVEL OF THE XXI CENTURY FROM THE POINT OF COGNITIVE STYLISTICS

Abstract

In this work, based on the use of the thesaurus approach in cognitive stylistics, the modern Russian novel is investigated as a component of the Russian world. The thesaurus approach acts as a new paradigm of humanitarian knowledge, which has taken shape in recent decades in the framework of literary and theater studies. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the creation of a linguistic version of the thesaurus approach in cognitive stylistics based on the material of a modern Russian novel and a thesaurus analysis of the value priorities of a representative of the modern Russian world, the presentation of the selected values through the system of the Chinese language. A methodology is being developed for constructing semantic nests of the thesaurus of the Russian world in the modern Russian novel, on the basis of which the values of the Russian world presented in the modern Russian novel are distinguished. The linguistic forms of the value representation of the Russian world are compared with the linguistic forms of the Chinese language, which makes it possible to assess the degree of accessibility and openness of the semantics of Russian culture for its perception by representatives of other axiological discourses. The semantic nests are identified in the novel by M. Elizarov “The Librarian” reveal the state of the modern Russian world and the peculiarities of the Russian novel, which simulates reality and forms a special type of reader and events from which the history is built.
