Abstract. The relevance of this study is due to the growing interest among scholars in the 21st century in the heritage of the brilliant and distinctive linguistic personality of F. A. Vigdorova in light of the anthropocentric approach, as well as the importance for modern linguistics of studying the writer’s conceptual sphere. The aim is to determine the role of words with the roots -bog- / -bozh- in F. A. Vigdorova’s idiolect (based on her fiction of 1950–1960). We show the frequency of use of words with the roots -bog- / -bozh- in the writer’s prose. We also look at the semantic scope of the words under consideration, on the basis of comparison with lexicographic characteristics. The following research methods are used: interpretation, comparison, descriptive-analytical method, stylistic-functional method, elements of component analysis, and statistical calculation method. As a result of the analysis of words with the roots -bog- / -bozh- in F. A. Vigdorova’s prose of 1950–1960, we established that they serve to create portraits of the characters in the texts primarily as a tool for differentiating their speech patterns, and they demonstrate the contradictory epoch of the mid-20th century, and express the constants of this writer’s idiolect: her use of colloquial and vernacular vocabulary, including components of phraseological units. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the absence of works devoted to the analysis of words with the roots -bog- / -bozh- in F. A. Vigdorova’s texts of 1950–1960. Examination of these words also allows us to identify the idiolectal features of F. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the absence of works devoted to the analysis of words with the roots -bog- / -bozh- in F. A. Vigdorova’s works of 1950–1960. The examination of these words also allows us to identify the idiolectal features of F. A. Vigdorova and the peculiarities of her conceptual sphere. The research material can be used in lectures on stylistics, linguistic semantics, and the theory and history of the language of fiction in higher education, as well as in special courses and seminars.

 

Keywords: idiolect, idiostyle, colloquial vocabulary, words with roots -bog- / -bozh-, phraseological unit, F. A. Vigdorova’s language, linguistic picture of the world.
