Abstract
Aim. We analyze the significance of the name of A. N. Ostrovsky as a precedent for the linguistic personality of N. S. Leskov, according to his texts reflecting the author’s idiolect, including the anthroponymicon.
Methodology. Using a targeted sample from texts of various genres, including the epistolary genre, we revealed ideologically, aesthetically, and pragmatically stimulated consituations, in which N. S. Leskov addressed the name of A. N. Ostrovsky, who is an authoritative representative of the older generation of writers of the 19th century and a venerable playwright. The means of predication are analyzed, allowing one to establish the significance of this anthroponym and related words of the proprietary vocabulary. Applied research methods include linguistic observation, description, interpretation, comparison, and elements of component analysis.
Results. The use of the proprietary vocabulary (the name of A. N. Ostrovsky, the titles of his works, and the heroes of character zones) and phraseological units from the replicas of actors and the assessment of the frequency of use of such a unit as “cruel morals” indicate the high importance of the anthroponym in N. S. Leskov’s texts and the precedent character and value of the onym in Leskov’s anthroponymicon as a linguistic personality.
