Abstract

Reference of researchers, linguists and philosophers to peculiarities of a literary work language is determined by philosophical issues of the text as a whole. This is topical when translating a well-known classic literary work into another language. It is in such a very case when all obscurities and unclarities in language, sometimes called apophatic ones, are revealed. The term “apophaticism”, coming to philology from theological and philosophical sphere, is especially important when a researcher writes about an author’s language. The article deals with Dostoevsky’s Christmas story; and the subject of the article is relationship between different types of space in the story. The research methodology implies reference to comparative-historical and typological methods of analysis. Thus, typology with the works of the German romanticist Hoffmann, whose influence on the literary Russia in the first half of the 19th century was quite significant, is justified since both writers blurred the lines between a real world and a fantastic one. The latter also creates an apophatic effect in poetics. Dostoevsky’s apophaticism is manifested not only in language but also at the level of different types of space functioning.
