Abstract

I. S. Shmelev is a well-known Russian writer, a native of the urban merchant environment, knowing the peculiarities of this environment so well and clearly conveying them in his works. Born and raised in a patriarchal family where all religious rites were sacredly observed, I. S. Shmelev could not help but absorb a reverent attitude to the Orthodox religion, which is why most of his works are imbued with a Christian worldview. We believe that the above circumstances have influenced the formation of individual authorial features of the use of lexemes of certain thematic groups in the texts of works. In this regard, the task of the proposed study is to identify the author's features of the use of lexemes calling lean food in the novel “Summer of the Lord” which in structural terms is a description of the year of an Orthodox person, thereby clearly demonstrating to the reader that Russian life and faith are inextricably linked. Upon analyzing the individual author's features of the vocabulary representing lean food in I. S. Shmelev’s work “Summer of the Lord”, we came to the following conclusions. Food and all the rituals associated with it are very instrumental in reflecting both the national and individual picture of the world. According to what kind of food a person uses, it is possible to draw conclusions about his well-being. In the novel “Summer of the Lord” the author uses lexemes related to both common forms of the Russian literary language and dialect forms to represent lean food. In addition, the author introduces lexemes that have come out of active word usage; this makes us understand that some of the realities that are familiar to a person in the time described by I. S. Shmelev are inaccessible to modern people. In order to demonstrate the ease of Great Lent, the author resorts to the use of diminutive suffixes, as well as to the use of anaphora. One of the most important features of the individual I. S. Shmelev author's picture of the world lies in the fact that the lexemes naming lean food appear in the work under consideration as a kind of reference points of time.
