Abstract
Ippolit Bogdanovič or the Beginning of New Paremiologic Thought Poet Ippolit Bogdanovič (1743-1803) was considered by Soviet critics as a representant of 'official' folkloristics at Catherine the Great's time. Such a presentation has obscured for a long time the innovatory role that have played the unprecedented Russian Proverbs Collected by Ippolit Bogdanovič (SPb., 1785) in the development of Russian paremiology. As anonymous clerks in the western medieval tradition or poets of French Renaissance, Bogdanovič makes proverbs works of literature. But breaking off with the traditional alphabetical principle, Bogdanovič elaborates the principles of thematic classification and layes down the foundations of modem paremiology. The analysis of the distribution of proverbial items into the thematic sections shows that for Bogdanovič proverbs are not so much linguistic, as discursive units. It is not coincidence if V. Dal´, who criticized Bogdanovič's poetic treatment of proverbs, nevertheless does justice to his classification.
