Pedagogical technologies for studying typological and functional features of phraseological units in F.M. Dostoevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment”

Abstract

Introduction. This article is a deep analysis of pedagogical methods of studying phraseological units in the context of F.M. Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment". The novel, published in 1866, contains over 770 phraseological units, each of which has a multifaceted meaning and function in the structure of the text. The present study involves the identification of typological and functional features of these phraseological units, as well as the development of methods for their analysis in the educational process. Materials and methods. The research is based on the methods of qualitative content analysis, which allows to systematize phraseological units and identify their features in the context of the novel. As secondary data, the works of more than 30 linguists and philologists specializing in the works of Dostoevsky, as well as pedagogical research on methods of teaching literature, were used. Results. The analysis showed that phraseological units in Dostoevsky's novel play a key role in revealing the psychology of the characters and conveying the ideological content of the work. For example, the phraseology "to beat the bumpers", which occurs 12 times in the text, symbolizes the inaction and idleness of the main character Rodion Raskolnikov, emphasizing his internal conflicts. The presented method of analyzing phraseological units includes the stages of identification, contextualization and interpretation, allowing students not only to understand the literary text more deeply, but also to expand their linguistic competencies.
