Abstract:

In studying fictional discourse, the phenomenon of precedent as a manifestation of intertextuality grants us access to intertextual space containing precedent texts of linguoculture, as well as to the concepts in linguoculture. As the material for our research we have chosen the novel “Olga” (2018) by Bernhard Schlink (born in 1944), which covers a significant period of German history, since 1870 until the end of the 20th century, reflecting the worldview of several generations and a value system encoded in aesthetic forms. Analysis of precedent onomasticon of the novel has revealed that the sources, forming the worldview and intertextual experience of an educated bearer of German linguoculture of the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century are biblical texts, the Catechism, core texts from ancient literature, travel novels, works of F. Nietzcshe and classical German authors. Precedent mythonyms in the novel actualize the concepts of GLORY and EDUCATION, while onyms of biblical origin actualise the concept of FAITH. The names of Nietzsche and Bismarck play the role of image names for ÜBERMENSCH concept. The names of famous explorers and the names of the authors of travel novels represent the concept of LOST IDEALIST and the derivative WANDERLUST concept.
