EXPRESSIVE WORDS IN THE WORKS OF M. DOSTOEVSKY

Abstract

Aim. To identify and describe expressive word-formation means in the prose of F. Dostoevsky. Methodology. The corpus of texts is analyzed. The author of the article has carried out a structural-semantic analysis of word-formation innovations and expressive derivatives extracted from the texts of F. Dostoevsky by a continuous sample, using the methods of observation, generalization and description. Results. As a result of the study, the types of newly created words and their functions in the prose of F. Dostoevsky were revealed. It is shown that word creation plays an important role in the structure of the writer's texts. Along with the new formations, the most productive types of derivatives and word-formation nests that are significant for the interpretation of texts are identified and considered in Dostoevsky's prose. Cases of morpheme repeatition are noted, its types and functions are described. Research implications. The theoretical significance of the article is determined by the development of a methodology for the analysis of word-formation means in a literary text and the identification of trends in word-creation on the material of the texts of the 19th century. The practical significance of the work is in the possibility of using its materials in the practice of teaching courses "Word formation" and "Philological analysis of the text."
