The concepts of "Motherland / State" in S. Dovlatov’s and M. Zadornov’s Artistic Pictures of the World
The study was carried out within the framework of a new linguo-cognitive approach to the works of fiction, allowing to understand the idea of the work more precisely, and to define the author’s position. The ways of language representation of the opposed concepts «Motherland / State» are described on the examples of “A Foreign Woman” by S. Dovlatov and “Return” by M. Zadornov. The opposition of the concepts “Motherland / State” is a part of the opposition “own / alien”, which determines the ideological and artistic originality of the analyzed works.
