Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the semantics of the Russian linguistic unit tut that is shown to be polyfunctional. The study is contrastive, with all the data being collected from the parallel corpora of the Russian National Corpus (RNC). Analyzing the tut-contexts, the author looks at the solutions literary translators opted for while translating from Russian into French and vice versa. This is how some specific meanings of the connective tut have been found to add to the traditional locative, temporal and narrative meanings.
