Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Codification of Russian Punctuation

https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2018-79-9-55-60

Abstract

The paper deals with the general view of punctuation set forth in Grammatical considerations by Alexander Solzhenitsyn as well as the use of punctuation marks in his literary prose. The paper claims that the general principles of punctuation put forward by Solzhenitsyn combined with the results of observation over his punctuation usage should have certain implications for the codification of Russian punctuation. The author suggests that taking account of Solzhenitsyn’s ideas related to the use of punctuation marks and his own punctuational practice can be a help in finding a balance between semantic, syntactic and intonational criteria of punctuation.
