The Law of Russian Empire on Jews as a Nationalist Text
Abstract
The results of the study of the Law of the Russian Empire on Jews are presented. It is stated that these documents form a hybrid discursive community of texts, combining the directivity of the law and the persuasiveness of the nationalist text. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the study of the normative texts of the legislation of the Russian Empire (XVIII, XIX centuries) allows not only to reveal the patterns of development of the language of law, but also to supplement information about the linguistic and pragmatic characteristics of speech genres. The novelty of the study is seen in the fact that examples of the mutual influence of legislative and socio-political discourses are considered. From the layer of legislative acts regulating the legal relations of Jews, the author singles out the nationalist law on Jews, which distinguishes the focus on forcing the addressee to causate the situation of protecting Christianity from the hostile influence of the Jews, on overcoming the situation of non-use (harm), where the agents are Jews. This circumstance ensures the presence of a motivational part in the structural-content scheme, which justifies the usefulness of legislative regulation by the negative nature of the image of Jews as an ethnic and religious community, the expression of contrasting prescriptions that are discriminatory towards Jews and preferential against the opposing Jews to national and religious groups. The author, analyzing the use of the nomination jude , highlights the general non-invective nature of the nationalist law on Jews.
