Summary/Abstract: The subject of my research is semiotic space of home in Fyodor Dostoevky’s novel Crime and Punishment. The relational nature of signs involves a potentially infinite process ofsignification.In Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment, the artistic pace of homereveals opposing connotations according to its general semiotic structure. There is a certain number of possible classifications of spatial oppositions of the home motif that can be embedded in certain subgroups or categories. In my analysis, I will focus on the main spatialdivisions of home space: mimetic/unmimetic level as well as open/closed aspect.
