THE WONDER WORKER (THE FLASH OF MEMORY)

Abstract

The memoir notes by Professor N. Kondrashov’s postgraduate draws a portrait of an original Slavicist from an unusual side. The author gives a psycholinguistic characterization of the philologist’s personality, recalls the most vivid fragments of postgraduate life, and shows the teacher as an extraordinary person, a talented linguist, a living, ironic, in love with the element of human meanings. Through the lines of the flashed memory, the author brings the reader rare facts from N. Kondrashov’s philological practice, tells about his “linguistic hooliganism,” emphasizes the power of the scientist’s verbal influence on others.
