Концептосфера цвета «Повести о лесах» К. Г. Паустовского

Abstract

The article describes a fragment of K. Paustovsky’s colouristic picture of the world on the material of “The Tale of the Forests”, which seems to be important in the light of the task of reconstructing colour conceptosphere of his prose. The study revealed the quantitative and qualitative composition of colour terms significant in the colouristic visualization of the temporal and spatial dimension of the work (the colour spectrum was represented in a field model); the dominant colour spectrum (black) was established, its expansion was described, illustrating the functional load of colour terms (conveying the meaning of colour intensity, etc.), their stylistic diversity, the natural connection between the colour and light components; the features of the arrangement of colour terms in the creation of multicoloured descriptions characterizing the colour manner of K. G. Paustovsky’s writing were identified; the functional potential of coloristic descriptions was revealed.
