Abstract
Aim. The purpose is to compare F. M. Dostoevsky’s unfinished novel “Netochka Nezvanova” and L. N. Tolstoy’s story “Albert” from the point of view of the image of the musician and the attitude of the characters to music, as well as the general and different features in their biography.
Methodology. The paper analyzes the linguistic material and a way of representing the artist’s image, as well as his lifestyle and the music created. Use is made of comparative and analytical methods of 1studying works, as well as the method of semantic and stylistic analysis.
Results. A conclusion is made about the individual author’s features of the representation of the musician’s image, and the linguistic means that verbalize the musical “context” of the works are determined. The special role of the adjective in the characterization of the main character and music is noted: in the text of L. N. Tolstoy, a combination of a short and a full adjective is played, which indicates the changeability of permanent features by temporary ones and vice versa. In the text of F. M. Dostoevsky, when describing Efimov and his music, preference is given to the full adjective as a sign representing the immutability of the situation. Despite the apparent similarity in the appearance of the characters (torn, clothes, dirt and untidy appearance), there are significant details that distinguish Albert from Efimov: the alternation of negatively evaluated features with the allocation of beautiful details (thin neck, clean forehead, and smile).
Research implications. The material is summarized from the point of view of linguistic and stylistic features of the works in question. The practical significance of the research is that the materials and conclusions of this scientific work can be used in the development of courses on the stylistics of the Russian language, philological and linguistic analysis of the text.
