COLOR PAINTING AS A PEACE MODELING DEVICE IN THE PROSE OF F. SOLOGUB

Abstract

Visualization is an important world-modeling technique in the prose of the symbolist writer F. Sologub. The subject of the study is the methods of lexical objectification of the author’s picture of the world in the story “The Old House”, in which the abundance of color vocabulary indicates its important semantic load. The relevance of the study lies in addressing the problem of world modeling in the prose of F. Sologub. The authors focus on colors that represent the system of characters, spatio-temporal organization and the motivic paradigm of the work. The research is based on methods of language sampling, semantic and linguostylistic analysis, comparison and description of language units, systematization and generalization. The conclusions substantiate that the system of lexical means, particularly, nominal, verbal and adverbial lexemes, act as markers of the author’s model of the world. The materials of the article can find practical application in university courses on philological and linguistic analysis of text, stylistics, and Russian literature of the first third of the twentieth century.
