THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF STONE IN THE LITERARY TEXTS OF F.M. DOSTOEVSKY AND A. PLATONOV: CULTURAL AND ONOMASTIC ASPECT
The proposed study is intended to analyze onomastic parallels that arise when the stone motif is introduced in the texts of F.M. Dostoevsky and A. Platonov. The relevance of this article is due to the fact that until now the question of the existence of parallels in the perception of the stone by F.M. Dostoevsky and A.Platonov has not been raised. There is a small number of works devoted to the phenomenology of stone in the works of F.M. Dostoevsky, studies of the semantics of stone in the works of A. Platonov are practically absent. There are few works on the representation of the specifics of the perception of the stone in onomastic units. Analyzing the semantics of the stone in works of F.M. Dostoevsky and A. Platonov we came to the following conclusions: in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky the motif of the stone is often introduced with the help of onomastic means: the name Peter, included in the anthroponym of the character indicates the "lastling" of Peter the Great who according to the writer broke off and tore the people from the soil. In the works of A. Platonov motif of the stone appears in one of his early stories "Lunar Research" ("The Story of the "brick") created in the genre of science fiction literature, and continues to function in the stories "Yushka", "Takyr". The works of A. Platonov are also characterized by the introduction of the stone motif with help of variations of name Peter. With help of this onym the author emphasizes the "stone " character of the hero, his firmness. We believe that the appeal to the semantics of the stone in the writers under consideration is due to a certain similarity of their destinies, since both F.M. Dostoevsky and A. Platonov wanted to become engineers. The stone considered as one of the important elements of the world order and included in the living-dead opposition embodies the name of characters and determines their worldview, plays a text- and plot-forming role in literary texts of both authors.
