Abstract

The article analyzes the content structure and linguistic means of creating the image of the manor in the Russian-language text on the material of reminiscence character. Texts of different periods in which descriptions of the manor are revealed are analyzed. The work employs a complex approach combining elements of etymological, structural-semantic, contextual analysis. The study concludes that the conceptual core of the image of the manor has been preserved since ancient times: the manor is a place of the mastered world, a dwelling place. This meaning corresponds to the image of the manor in the reminiscences of Russian writers and memoirists. The text of the reminiscences of the XIX-XX centuries allows us to trace the updated semantic dominants: the transformation of the image of the manor over two centuries, the change of ideas about the order of things in the world, the destruction of the ideal image. The dynamics of the development of the image of the manor in the Russian literary text and individual-author semantic increments are revealed, as well as in the systematization of linguistic means of creating the image.
