ОППОЗИЦИЯ «ПРАВДА/ЛОЖЬ» В САТИРАХ АНТИОХА КАНТЕМИРА: МИКРОФИЛОЛОГИЧЕСКИЙ ПОДХОД

Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of representation of one of the key oppositions in A. D. Kantemir’s Satires "Truth /lLes" on microlevel of the text. The analysis con-sists in comparison of lexico-semantic fields of truth and lies, their metaphorical codes, the system of rhetorical techniques. The distinction line between truth and lies is very thin; it is nesessary to monitor the smallest details — the signs — in or-der to be able to distinguish between them. The keys to decoding these signs often lie at the microlevel of the text. Cantemir’s Satires equipe us with those keys.
