Abstract:
The author’s individual writing skill is manifested primarily in the process of intensive artistic contemplation upon various aspects of social, political and philosophical problems that reflect the author’s outlook on life while transmitting their thoughts and feelings evoked by evaluating certain situations. Employing masterfully selected linguistic units belonging to different stylistic layers of the Russian vocabulary, I. Kanukov demonstrates good knowledge of the potential of separate words, his ability both to discover some new dimensions in a word and to find new qualities to a specific contextual situation, which allows him to scrutinize the important semantic shades in a word, contributing with great semantic energy to the disclosure of the inherent connection of personal and social experiences, the author’s own adversities and the destiny of mankind in the historic process. A vivid illustration of this is the linguistic variety employed by Kanukov in his Russian-language literary works, special attention being drawn to the lexical units adopted from the author’s native Ossetian language without any translation, the socalled “regionalisms”. Such vocabulary is extensively represented in Kanukov’s essay “In the Ossetian village”. This idea can be supported by the semantic and stylistic analysis of the text, that allowed the author of the present article to find over 150 regional words and expressions in the essay. The writer provides definitions to many of them right in the text, thus facilitating the reader’s perception of the phenomena described in each case. Thematically the regionalisms are represented by the key words referring primarily to: national traditions; religion; folklore; national peculiarities of life; national cuisine; the regionalisms characterizing a person’s social position; phonetic regionalisms that are semantically equivalent to certain Russian words; regionalisms expressing feelings, emotions.
