| description | The article deals with A.N. Tolstoy’s conceptosphere, which has found a vivid artistic embodiment in his work. The research focuses on the literary understanding of the concept and determines its semantic scope. The author proceeds from the interpretation of the concept as a complex synthetic formation that combines an image and a concept, an ideologeme and a mythologeme. The article focuses on the universalism of the concept. The study of the conceptosphere helps to identify the characteristic signs of the writer’s world as an artistic system. The article gives the classification of the main concepts in the prose of A.N. Tolstoy. We are talking about such concepts as “childishness,” “objectivity of vision,” “everyday dimension,” “fabric of everyday life,” “physicality,” “thing,” “game,” “adventures” (“escapades”), “amazement” (“surprise”), “dynamics / statics,” “backwoods,” “city and civilization,” “time” (and its gradations), “turmoil,” “power,” “laughter,” and “happiness in love.” The combination of these interconnected and Tolstoy-like unique universals allows us to get closer to understanding the author’s code and reveal their connection with the fundamental life / death opposition. The article traces the formation of the Tolstoy conceptosphere and its movement from the direct discovery children’s primary principles of life to the complex multidimensional comprehension of the deep foundations of human existence in its space-time coordinates. The article provides an idea about the influence of A.N. Tolstoy’s conceptual sphere on the macro- and micropoetics of the writer’s prose and particular nuances of the narrative manner of the great word artist. |
