Intertextual Nodes as Units of Literary Discourse: Analysing the Lexeme ‘Square’ in Yevgeny Zamyatin’s "We" and "The Islanders"
The linguistic analysis of the occurrences of the lexeme ‘square’ and its derivatives in Yevgeny Zamyatin’s literary texts identifies usual-semantic and symbolic-metaphorical streams of the content of all ‘square’ phenomena in the writer’s intertextual space. But ‘square’ is not only the textual unit, performing a syntactic function of an attribute, it is also an idiostylistic intertextual node of Zamyatin’s prose, a unit of literary discourse of his works. The article reveals the discursive parameters of the linguistic unit - in this case, of the lexeme ‘square’ - and reflects one of the ways of literary discourse analyzing.
