Abstract

The article examines the publicist aphorisms of A.I. Solzhenitsyn; the subject matter, structural characteristics of his sayings, and also defines the essence of the linguistics of aphorism, describes the mechanism for extracting introductory aphorisms from texts. We recognize as aphorisms stable utterances of phraseological type that have such features as: the presence of concept words (keywords) in the structure; brevity; passportization; reproducibility. The paper analyzes the corpus of A.I. Solzhenitsyn's publicist aphorisms, numbering over 90 units. The main themes of Solzhenitsyn's aphorisms are: morality, love for one's neighbor, God, justice, national life, self-restraint, democracy, Russia, personality, totalitarianism, patriotism, history, etc. The center of Solzhenitsyn's aphoristic heritage is moral and social problems, characteristics of the value paradigm of the Russian people. Solzhenitsyn's aphoristics, while remaining relevant at the present time, essentially points out the way of improving Russia, the development of the ethnos, and offers a national idea for our Fatherland.

Keywords:

russian aphoristics, aphorism, aphoristics of alexander solzhenitsyn’s publicist writing.
