Контрдискурс по-русски, или sottisier à la russe: повесть Н. С. Лескова «Полунощники»
"Counterdiscourse in Russian, or sottisier à la russe: the story of N. S. Leskov called "At Midnight"

Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author attempts to apply the concept of counter-discourse developed by R. Terdiman on the basis of research of the French literature of the 19th century to studying the language game in Полунощники [At Midnight] by N. Leskov. The discourse analysis of the novel reveals that the author’s counter-discourse is built on the “sottisier” collected by the writer throughout his life, where commonplace utterances subjected to “re/citation” acquire a whole new meaning.
