The network project “The Gift of Words” has been published since April 2000. Every week, several new words are sent to subscribers, with definitions and examples of use. These words are not in any dictionary, and yet they denote significant phenomena and concepts for which there has not yet been a place in the language and public consciousness. "Dar" also conducts discussions about the Russian language, discusses letters and suggestions from readers. “The Gift” can serve as a guide to word creation, an introduction to the world of linguistic fantasies and mental technologies.

Projective lexicon of the Russian language February 25, 2007
My article “On the creative potential of the Russian language” was published in the magazine “Znamya” (3, 2007) .
Grammar of transitivity and transitive society ."
Quote:
“You cannot freeze the Russian language, prevent the overdue transformations in the system of verbs, and above all the growth of transitivity. Transitivity and intransitivity should be understood functionally , not substantially: not as grammatical features of different words, but as different functions, ways of using the same word The verbs “walk”, “fly”, “fall”, “live”, “die”, “become”, “disappear” can be used transitively and intransitively, depending on the context... If transitivity entered the consciousness of all linguistic community as a variable function of any verb, then in one or two generations we might have a different society. A society that does not endure the existing state of affairs, but knows how to transform every sign of a state into a sign of action."
Anniversary of the word "intelligentsia".
This month marks the 171st anniversary of the appearance in the Russian language of the word “intelligentsia” in its modern meaning (an educated part of society; representatives of mental labor; people living with ideas and mental quests). Previously, the Latin word intellegentia was used in European languages to mean “mental ability,” “power of understanding.” For a long time it was believed that this word was introduced into the Russian language by the writer P. Boborykin in the mid-1860s. and that in this new meaning it came from Polish. But not so long ago it became clear that much earlier the word “intelligentsia” was used by V. A. Zhukovsky - in his diary entry dated February 2, 1836: “Three hours after this general disaster... the magnificent Engelhardt house was illuminated, and carriages pulled out, all filled with the best St. Petersburg nobility, those who in our country represent the entire Russian European intelligentsia." [1]
There is a custom to celebrate anniversaries of great works: “the centenary of L. Tolstoy’s novel”, “one hundred and fifty years of Pushkin’s poem”. But some words make no less a contribution to the spiritual development of people and humanity than literary masterpieces. What would the Russian intelligentsia be without the word “intelligentsia”? Most likely, something completely different. The word forms its own object, especially an object that forms itself by an act of self-consciousness and self-naming.

V. Khodasevich
Abyssinia (from the Greek abyss - abyss) - the space of the blue abyss, the abyss of blue
Abyssinia of the spirit is the ancestral home of Gumilyov, a blue for which there are no borders. To the same extent he is an Abyssinian of Hyperborea.
acneism is acmeism that has reached a frozen point of anemia, beyond which there is a sharp descent into subpassionarity.
The Acmeists were replaced by the Young Acmeists, or more precisely, anemists and aknemists with their anemia of images and acnemism of thought.
angeloid - angel-like thought forms.
Moscow is a city of angeloids , put on a conveyor belt by human consciousness. Their main difference from angels is the absence of angelic speech.
[The word has already been used, including in my article “ Proteism. Manifesto of the New Century ” (2001) http://magazines.russ.ru/znamia/2001/5/epsh.html ]
logoless - not having a connection with the Logos.
How did socialist realist writers hide their lack of logos? And what is it being replaced with now? Stamps, slogans, promises.
verbarium - a herbarium of verbal forms of words that form the visible crystallization of the text through “control”. And Palm Resurrection, a premonition of Easter words.
[A wonderful word, already widely known, Google returns 571,000 uses of it].

The manuscript will be ready for printing when the vestal clerk receives the good news of the book's release.
Vodolenin is the spirit of Aquarius, who, according to legend, rules Russia, and Lenin, who made a breakthrough of destruction on the path to creation, as if doing the evil will of Aquarius.
Vodolenin , a conductor of living and dead water, rests in dead waters, torn away from eternal life. Vodolenin's ideas tried to rework matter and consciousness. Truly, the bright spring moisture was lacking in his inflamed consciousness.
Vremida - the deity of time.
Wait, oh, time ! Frozen in your pre-never. Ruthless taimenid, grinding the years!
gifted - imitating a gift, fashionable.
The writer N. is gifted . Style is what he strives for. But the real gift is in overcoming mannerisms and narcissism. Shouldn't we introduce the science of gift science , including for the self-determination of abilities by creative people?
dremida - from the words drema, Artemis, druid - the goddess of slumber, resurrecting the feeling of magical and untold sounds and color combinations. Born in Phantasmagoria.
Dremida whispers to me words that are still barely accessible. Between sleep and reality, those sheets tremble in the arms of silence.

imagineria - quick wit, the ability to convey one’s imagination, squeezing the maximum out of it. The engineering of writing, its fighting spirit. See also M. Epstein's word ImaginArium in issue 234 of The Gift of the Word.

disappearance - leaving as if apologizing from awkwardness or absurdity. Or perhaps - simply dissolution in goodness ("The Gift", issue 233).
To disappear into eternity, as if disappearing - such is the lot of the lofty souls of romantic literature. Isn’t that what Luzhin did in Nabokov’s novel? Is his disappearance a personal or otherworldly quality?
[great word! it also sounds something twisting, wormy, thanks to the syllables “is-vi”, “che-vi”].
computerida - the muse of the computer.
Who is she? Sister of the Nine Muses? One of Mnemosyne's clones? Waves of time, memory and consciousness are the elements of computer science, insoluble in human blood.

Inside him, the lies are eating away at him.
What can you do - he has already dissolved in this lie .

After me there might be a flood.
What then? The wheeze of the townspeople
And banging in a wardrobe.]
There is no benefit from his works - dead scholasticism and loyalty to the vulgar materialist doctrine. It’s like taking the masterpieces of the Louvre and the Tretyakov to savages on an island and asking their opinion - that’s what many literary critics are like .
[“Literary harm ” does not quite correspond to the person. But the idea is fruitful for puns. I would suggest “ literary damage ”, “ literary damage ”. Then this insertion of “r” can spread to other “knowledges”: “ art criticism ”, “ linguistic criticism” ", " socially harmful "]
Logn , LogOn - the fire of the Logos, the Promethean flame, the incinerated liver, burning the shell of the idea.
Mayakovsky's Horse-Fire is the Horse- Logon , rearing Logos, which is both a pity and scary to tame.

And a little blue.
We have an enemy of the people
Becomes anyone.

What you sow is what you reap. The growth of speech requires care and prayer.

Sometimes you don’t want to speak, but you will say it, and right to the point, as if the spirit of self-righteousness whispered.
light word - a word carrying the light of transparency, a conductor of the Logos.
They say that Pushkin's philosophies are boundless, but cold. It’s true, a different, hot light and scorching Logon in Dostoevsky.
Syneslov is a hypothetical heavenly poetic dictionary, vainly translated into earthly languages. Its filling is the protoplasm of protologisms, extra-protein living beings, when words are in a rarefied, neon state, without being embedded in earthly language, and only their light glow is available to us.
Comprehending Sineslov
устремляется в никуда.

Boldino autumn is a classic word fall in the classic land of words.
2) Fall of words - like poetry - riding, jumping and falling into the unknown.
A wordfall seeking novelty!
[In Pasternok, the fall of words is directly compared with the fall of leaves and the fall of flowers:
Let’s drop the words / Slowly and generously, / Like a garden - amber and zest, / Barely, barely, barely.”
This word has been used before, 200 times according to Google.
"The reader is bombarded with a fall of words , in which there is a feeling of continuity of speech, its
energy and pressure, generosity and excess are more important than the final meaning..." (G. Amelin)].
word-righter - correcting the word, its meaning, returning the truth of expression to the word, can relate to the text and to the person.
Over time, meaning and passion disappear from frequently used words and concepts. We need a word-righter to bring the word back to life and shake up its sleepy carriers. Dahl's dictionary is correct .
owlness - from the words co-, owl, scoop, wine, wine - 1) A feeling of guilt imposed by the society of owls (sovs). 2) drinking together, uniting people (drinking buddies).
The intelligentsia was keenly aware of their ownership . No one could explain what this fault was. It was necessary, between the hegemon and the peasantry, like sausage in a sandwich, in some kind of complacency, to build a bright future. The mystical and tangible owlness really urged them on.
In the Great Owl (M. Epstein's term), owlness was an obligatory quality of a “normal” person. stuck out on every corner These trinities of sovinniks or sovinists , bringing considerable income to the treasury of the people-loving state.

chronogolic - toropyga.
What a chronaholic you have to be to keep up with everything! What is the next stage of chronogolism ? Split and personality disorder? “They are at two meetings at once,” Mayakovsky wrote about the chronaholic bureaucrats who sat through the meeting .

colorful name
unsurpassed in the future.
entomologos - from Greek. insect and logos - the language of insects.
Nabokov, a writer and entomologist, had considerable access to the entomology of butterflies, in which he was captivated by a certain mystery hidden behind the coloration, birth and flickering flight of lepidopterans.
Eronatos - Eros and Thanatos in one person, the deity of the eros of death. Eronatism is the attraction of death towards someone and/or something.
The craving for disembodiment, voluntary or imposed, is akin to the call of Eronatos. The nakedness of many of the heroes of Kharms and A. Vvedensky precedes the final disincarnation, copulation with Death, “an almost painful shudder” (Pushkin). Eronatos (Eronatia) only promises the sought-after sensual pleasure of sex, under which there is an abyss.
[Previously, the words “ Lyubomor ” and “ Lyubomorye ” were proposed in a similar meaning (issue 79, see Memo below). In English the word " amort " was also suggested]

You can read about the history of the concept and word “intelligentsia” in the book V. V. Vinogradov. History of Words. M.: RAS, 1999., pp. 227-229, as well as in L.A. Anninsky and A.M. Kamchatnov.

Aphorism
"In every language we encounter examples of variability and constant
introducing new words. But since there are limits to memory, individual words, like entire languages, gradually disappear... The survival or preservation of some favored words in the struggle for existence is natural selection.”
Charles Darwin. The origin of man and sexual selection, in his book. Works, vol.5. M.: Publishing House of the USSR Academy of Sciences, 1953, P. 208.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Memo
anyOr (roots love + mor) - the double instinct of love and death, the unity of eros and thanatos; the deity of love-death in Slavic mythology, whose mysterious image subsequently inspired many writers and cultural figures.
Lyubomor is the rarest oxymoron word in the Russian language, combining the basics with the opposite meaning of “love” and “death”. Typically, oxymorons are expressed by a combination of words, for example, “white crow”, “living corpse”, “light sadness”, “virtual reality”. Examples of oxymoron words: “cold-blooded”, “pull-push”, “ sunny ”, “ dead-liver” ".
In the Serbian language, the words “lyubomora” (feminine) and “lyubomorstvo” (wed.), formed from the same basics “to love” and “morit” (to kill), mean jealousy, envy of a rival. Jealousy is, indeed, a two-faced Janus, one face turned to love, the other to death.
No, Dante was mistaken, it is not love that moves the sun and luminaries, but love of the sea . Foul, ferocious, but it is. If there was only love, all the luminaries would be attracted to each other, stuck together into a single lump, and jealousy either brings them together or pushes them away, alternating between love and enmity. Lyubomor is the name of the great zealot, Creator and Ruler of the universe.AnyOrye - the kingdom of Lubomor ; a place, a country where love and death are inseparable from each other.
We all grew up with the fabulous Lukomorye in our dreams - but it turned into a Lukomorye , where people, out of love for humanity, destroyed each other._________________________________________________________________
