FIELD

Word field penetrated into the Russian literary language from the Old Church Slavonic language. In modern Russian, it denotes a sphere, type of activity, life arena, life path. It has a very noticeable stylistic shade of bookish rhetoric and official solemnity. For example, in the expressions: “to work in official field", "end your life field", "work in the field public education"; “a brilliant thing opened before him field"; "to embark on a new field", etc.

Around the words field A not very numerous and diverse, but very stable phraseology has developed. It was mainly formed in the second half of the 19th century. in journalistic styles of the Russian literary language. But the very meaning – “occupation, life arena” – was established in the word field much earlier, at the end of the 18th century. See, for example, Pushkin in “Boris Godunov”:

[Basmanov:] An important thought was born in his mind,

There is no need to let it cool down. Which

To me field will open when

He will break the horn of the family boyars!

(Moscow. Royal Chambers).

Wed. in Gogol's "Notes of a Madman" the hero's surname is Poprishchin. The germs of this meaning appeared already in the Russian literary language of the 17th – early 18th centuries.

As the morphological composition of the word shows: prefix By-, place suffix looking for(e) (cf. playground, fireplace, fortification, conflagration, ashes, lists etc.), root element pier-(cf. kick, kick -"to trample") Initially field should have meant: “a place that is trampled and walked on” (see Preobrazhensky, 2, p. 105). In the language of Old Russian writing, the main meaning of the word field is the Old Slavonic “measure of the path”, “stages”; “a measure of a path about 2/3 of a mile long” (Greek. μíλιον ); “the measure of the journey is one and a half miles”; “measure of the path to a day’s march” (Sreznevsky, 2, pp. 1203–1204). In the meaning of the measure of the path the word field used in liturgical texts, in hagiographic literature, in chronicle style, in the language of travel and historical writings. This meaning was also alive in the literary language of the 16th–17th centuries. For example, in the Sofia collection of the 16th–17th centuries: “ Field fathoms 700 and 50; there is one thing field stages 7 and sex. This is why we are a priest of the land surveyor” (Sreznevsky, 2, p. 1204).

Prof. A.V. Markov in his study “Everyday Features of Russian Bylinas” wrote: “If there is something we can dwell on a little, it is the terms that distances are meant in epics. In their measurements we see complete correspondence of epic expressions to the data of written monuments. Both here and there are used to measure large distances field(Cyr. I, 41; Rybn. II, 150; IV, 48; Gilf. 1219, 1296, No. 34, art. 150; No. 104, art. 22; Tych. and Mill. II, 125, 182) and miles, and some are identified with others” (Ethnographic review 1903, No. 3, pp. 77–78). "In three field, but in Russian it would be three typesetting"(Gilf. 1212). In the old ABC book field explained as “verst – imat fathoms 750”; but they thought field and a thousand fathoms (see Buslaev. Russian anthology, p. 141). Field found in the life of Anthony the Roman, in the chronicle of 1259. Apparently, in the 17th century. the measurement of miles has finally supplanted the use of the word field, as a measure of distance, however cf. word definition field as a measure of distance, by comparison with mile -“49–42 miles” in the “Slovenian Russian Lexicon” by Pamva Berynda (see p. 88). From this Old Russian meaning a shade was separated: “distance in general”, “distance of a certain length”. For example, in “The Walking of Stefan the Novgorodian”: “And from then I walked through the city far away field great” (Speransky. From ancient Novgorod. literature, p. 59; cf. p. 79).

In close connection with this meaning there was another, this is “a space of a certain length, in which the ancient Romans and Greeks labored in running” (see ff. 1822, 4, pp. 1529–1530). In the dictionary of 1847: “A place of a certain length and width, with a fence for running and standing” (page 1867–1868, 3, p. 758). For example: “The ancient Greeks and Romans labored for fields».

In the “Trilingual Lexicon” Fed. Polikarpov included the following relevant words and their explanations: “ Field – στάδιον, stadium Popular – σταδιαĩος stadialis. Field flowing σταδιοδζω , stadium curro. By-brush σταδιοδζόυος, σταδιεους, qui stadium currit, qui statio certat, stadiodromus. Sampler σταδιαĩος, stadii mensuram aequans” (2, p. 24).

This meaning - “arena, place of struggle, lists” became the main one in the Russian literary language of the 18th century. at the word field and was preserved in the Russian poetic language of the first decades of the 19th century. Wed. in Zhukovsky’s poem “The Glove”:

In front of your menagerie,

With the barons, with the crown prince,

King Francis was seated;

From a high balcony he looked

In the field, expecting a battle...

It was on the basis of this meaning in the high calm of the 18th century. figurative, phraseologically related use arises: field of life. In the “Dictionary of the Russian Academy” this new meaning is interpreted dimly and vaguely: “flow, continuation of time of something. Pass, end the field of life"(word 1822, part 4, p. 1530). In the dictionary of 1847 it receives a more clear formulation: “A known space or continuation of time. Cross the path of life. The field of military action. Field of scientific activity"(sl. 1867–1868, 3, p. 758).

Obviously, it was in the Russian literary language of the 20–40s that the circle of phraseological use of the word began to expand field and in connection with this, the abstract meaning - “genus, sphere of activity” - deepens and emerges more accurately. In Dahl's dictionary we find a broad reflection of new contexts of use of the word field: « Field Wed (to trample) - in general, a place, space, space in which they strive or act, an arena, a stage, a hippodrome, a suitable place for running, horse racing, lists, games, wrestling, etc. Enter the field. Set up an area for cages and baiting, beast fight. Field of battle, “the place where it happened.” // Field of life -“the entire earthly life of a person in everyday life.” What career did he choose?“What kind of life, or what sciences, craft and business did he devote himself to?” The field of high society life is empty and vulgar. The highest ranks are slippery. The field of art has now become breadless. Among the newest, Humboldt excels in the field of natural sciences. // tsrk. A travel measure, probably a daily journey, about 20 versts” (words by Dahl 1912–1913, 3, p. 796).

Here it is printed from typescript, verified with the manuscript, and with the introduction of a number of necessary clarifications and amendments. – V. P.
