Intertextuality in the prose of the Yakut writer Platon Oyunsky (1893-1939)

The article is devoted to the work of Platon Alekseevich Oyunsky (1893–1939), an outstanding representative of the Yakut intelligentsia and the founder of Yakut Soviet literature, a writer and linguist. The object of the study is the use of intertextuality in Oyunsky's works. The research is based on the texts of the parable stories "Alexander the Great," "Solomon the Wise," and the author's fairy tales "The Argument" and "The Fox and the Badger." The scientific novelty and theoretical significance of the study are determined by the fact that for the first time, the author's fairy tales and parable stories in the works of P. Oyunsky are examined from the perspective of genre transformations. The purpose of the study is to define the semantic transformations in the studied works and the functions of intertextuality. The research objectives include: identifying the form of authorial narration in the works of P. Oyunsky, comparing typologically similar phenomena (works, genres), and identifying the underlying (mythological, socio-pragmatic) prerequisites of the analyzed texts. The method of an integrative approach was used for the research, which combines literary and linguistic knowledge. This allows a deeper analysis of the conceptual and linguistic picture of the author's world, to identify the features of his idiosyncrasy. The results of the research concerning the reception of intextuality in P. Oyunsky's prose, according to knowledge, new ideas, the writer offers a new interpretation of folk tales and parables, images, plots and motifs - ultimately ideas. P. Oyunsky's works, which use the technique of intertextuality, demonstrate that his works reflect not only the phenomena that the writer pays attention to, but also the writer himself, as well as the time in which P. Oyunsky lived and worked.
