    Abstract

    This article has for an object to show the great importance of autobiographical material, writer’s own life, emotional and spiritual experience in Lev Tolstoy’s creative work, poetics, artistic skill, as well as to illustrate how Tolstoy’s model of employing his own life material was echoed in the 20th-century literature. The proposed theses are underpinned by references to many of Tolstoy’s texts (in particular, by observing the history, composition, details of his novel Anna Karenina), as well as to some of his wordings and sayings. Additionally, the article examines the further development of Tolstoy’s model, presents several examples from Russian, American, and Armenian literature.

    Abstract

    The paper deals with stereotypical utterances,Yes and No, regarded as dominants of the tolerant set Consent/Non-consent.Members of the tolerant set are close or identical in meaning but different in expression,and they are not always interchangeable. The latter provokes errors in the speech ofnon-native speakers of Russian, which makes it critically important to study and teach Russian as a foreign language.
