«PROPORTIONALITY AND CONFORMITY» IN SCIENCE AND POETRY: THE HARMONY OF A. T. GULAK’S PHILOLOGICAL WORK.

Abstract

The scientific style of the scientist is analyzed on the example of the article “The Blossoming Rose” by Anatoly Tikhonovich Gulak. The author presents the main ideas of the article, including the complex analysis of semantic relations in Leo Tolstoy’s early stories, devoted to the image of the young warrior: the attitude to the subject of the narrative and the depicted world, the attitude to the reader, the image of the author, canonized by tradition and presented in Tolstoy’s idiostyle, the artistic techniques and stylistic means of text organization. It is described how the main objectives of the article correlate with the author’s methods of solving them. It is pointed out that in this work A. T. Gulak for the first time (without using the term) described one of the invariant images presented in the prose work of Leo Tolstoy. The scholar’s merit also lies in the detailed analysis of variants of this invariant and the identification of the dynamics of the writer’s artistic method. The stylistic requirements of Professor Gulak for the scientific style of the researcher-philologist and their realization in his own philological works are considered. The inner form of the word “conformity” is considered, its different meanings and reception in Pushkin’s requirement “proportionality and conformity” in language and style, and in the linguistic approach of the representative of Kharkov Philological School, A. T. Gulak, are defined.
