Terminological thesaurus of the Gospel text by F. M. Dostoevsky

The article deals with the relevant problem of terminological description of Dostoevsky's “gospel text,” which is based on the thesaurus as the basic lexicon of scientific language. Accordingly, the purpose and objectives of the article are to explicate the terminological thesaurus of the “gospel text,” which functions in Dostoevsky-related research and contains the key concepts of general (theoretical) poetics, historical poetics, ethnopoetics, theology and philosophy. A thesaurus approach is implemented in the study of this terminology, integrating “machine analysis” and “human interpretation” of the source data. The presented terminological dictionary is quite representational of the current state of Dostoevsky's gospel text studies. The visual results of its digital processing clearly show the trend towards the joint use of poetological, theological and philosophical categories. It is therefore concluded that the analysis of the terminological thesaurus is productive in assessing the integrity of the metalanguage of Dostoevsky's gospel text studies, a language that in its current state is characterized by great interdiscursivity.
