Abstract
«Бедные люди» Ф.М. Достоевского как диалог старого и нового слова
Highlights
The article focuses on the major differences in the narrative strategies of the characters. It reveals the opposition of Varvara Alekseyevna’s “ready-made” word deeply enrooted in the sentimental tradition and Devushkin’s language which is intensely forming at the moment of writing and shifts constantly from one level of discourse to another
The analysis reveals an important regularity: the expressiveness in Varvara Alekseyevna’s letters is attained through paralipsis, while Devushkin’s letters are expressive precisely as they speak even the most obscure and painful things
The study of Devushkin’s speech strategy with its effusive and even aggressive nature allows us to conclude that the character “unbosoms his feelings,” and tries to assert himself in the new word, as it were, when arguing with Varvara Alekseyevna
Summary
Несмотря на значимость вопроса о реальных последствиях такой раздвоенности, он до сих пор остается недостаточно изученным. The study of Devushkin’s speech strategy with its effusive and even aggressive nature allows us to conclude that the character “unbosoms his feelings,” and tries to assert himself in the new word, as it were, when arguing with Varvara Alekseyevna (read: old literature).
