The book opens the author's series "Rainbow of Thought. Collection of works in seven colors." Each discipline in the design of the series has its own color: linguistics - red, literary studies - orange, cultural studies - yellow, essays - green, ideography - blue, philosophy - blue, religion - purple. Two or three volumes are expected to be published in each color and discipline. Together they form a creative rainbow of humanities capable of not only exploring, but also generating new linguistic, cultural, and conceptual worlds.

DARU - 5 YEARS OLD. ANNIVERSARY ISSUE (5th and last)
Dear friends!
In previous anniversary issues, the results of the fifth anniversary of “The Gift” were summed up and those words that came into use the most were examined. But "The Gift" consists not only of author's issues - guest issues play a very significant role in it. also brought many new words The One-Word Competition 2001 . Let me remind you that in just five years, 12 competition and 15 guest issues were published, which brought in 220 and 254, respectively - a total of 474 new words.
Today, concluding the entire anniversary series, I present to you some of the best, in my opinion, words of other authors published on the pages of "The Gift". I would like to thank all the authors who sent their words for guest episodes. These are Galina Berdichevskaya, Vitaly Kolmanovsky, Alexander Koramyslov, Leonid Kochetkov, Grigory Mark, Tatyana Milova, Efim Pokhis, Kalina Radiccheva, Dmitry Tortev, Victor Fet, Boris Tseytlin, Igor Churbanov, Yan Sheredeko.
In the following small anthology, some authors, of their own free will, are represented by pseudonyms. The words are arranged in alphabetical order.
This issue concludes with two corrected and expanded lists:
1. The most successful author’s neologisms in the Russian language (see the addition about “tvoryans”).
2. The most common words "Dara".

bumUchka is a homeless dog. Alexander Koramyslov
In addition to homeless people and homeless women, there are too many homeless women in the city .
She was a loyal, but too passionate girl everywhere .
She was always a typical lady - in other words, a nymphomaniac.
How did you celebrate the New Year? - Yes, so, one time turned up , from the 2nd year, then in a cafe we picked up a couple more time slots , sat and chatted, and then? - Well, what then, what then...
I read your poems with a bang .
The men listened with rapt attention to the commissioner.
Where there is a head, there is a tail.
Where there is a plate, there is a mug.
You are my sweet tooth
I am your bitter drinker ...
The world is ruled by hormones .
The weather was beautiful, there was not a soul on the beach. An inexplicable, but previously experienced spirituality filled the entire being with bliss and joy of existence. I wanted to turn to this “someone” and communicate with him, to let him know that I am always glad to meet him.
But who saved you from shame? He was a greedy wife :
the wheel did not creak, the harness did not rattle...
Whoever calls out in a dream will distinguish in reality,
bestowing an image of a beautiful death on those worthy!(from the poem "Amazon")
Hi catch!
Milosevic's Zlovians rushed towards the infidel with a boom and whistle.
In his latest book, Timur Kibirov increasingly moves away from social art, opting for lyronics . Texts by D.A. Prigov's works of the mid-eighties were more lyrical than conceptual. In Shcherbakov's early songs, the transition from Vysotsky's intense declarativeness to Kim's lightness and lyricism is clearly visible .
Subtle lyricism shines through in the poems of this poet ....you walk with me without getting tired,
Through the sad space of existence,
My irony is like a composite
Part of the lyrics is lyric !.. my
In this book
Settle in
Wanted
Tales.
Not poetry
Not songs
But just
Okolesinki.
Since the mid-twentieth century, first in music (primarily jazz), and then in other forms of art, the figures of creators have become increasingly widespread and significant.
Around any methods of spiritual development of a person - be it
Eastern practitioners or Western psychotechnics, religious traditions or philosophical movements - crowds of enlightened people are always wandering around .For you, self-knowledge is the path, and Zhenya is an enlightener , for him all these things are a tribute to fashion and an opportunity to hang out among the “advanced”.
This journalist is a chronic publicist .Sometimes in the lyrics it will stab,
But the publicist doesn't itch !
And for this he is famous, until
One is neither alive nor dead.to rejoice is an impersonal verb meaning a state of joy. Wed. I'm sick - I'm feverish. Kolmanovsky
We learned about the birth of our grandson, and we were probably worried for another week.
(note: we weren’t happy, but we were happy).
Nina is a gentle, dreamy blonde, Asya is a languid, charming brunette. I myself don’t understand who is dearer to me. Here I stand, like a Buridan donkey who has lost his love .I don’t need anyone right now: my soul is slushy and unloving .Strong passions are good in books, it is there that we are fascinated by crazy impulses, but in life, after they pass, you only feel tired and completely out of love.
The gaze slid over the surrounding snow , not finding any clue, and only near the horizon it calmed down on two smoking chimneys. Through frosty glasses, the sparkle of months-long snow was barely visible . Outside the window, landscapes flew by in their motionless snow .
"Who is this Nikita guy you introduced me to?" - “The same poetic speaker as you.” any negative meaning, despite its consonance with the words grvachkh and gstukachkh The word “stikhach” does not have . Similar to the word verse is, rather, the word violinist (a person who plays the violin). The negativity of such words as rach and snitch in their figurative, figurative meaning (after all, we do not mean - in the case of "rach" - a person who is actively vomiting). The words violinist and poet have no figurative meaning and specifically mean people engaged in one or another art (craft - weaver). At the same time, the closeness of the sound of the words informer and lyricist in a sense justified: knock - rhythm - verse. The existing synonym for the word gpoeth - gpoetkh - is used quite rarely (either because it is polysyllabic, or because the difference between the words poet and poet is indistinguishable, gpoetkh remains, as it were, a shadow of gpoets) The word stikhach introduces other perspectives of use into the hitherto practically monopolistic concept of gpoetkh. To my ears, poets are, as it were, those who gravitate towards classical models; and the avant-garde artists who set their own style are more or less dashing - poets (cf. poets - reckless).[Note that V. Mayakovsky has the word “stilachism”, obviously by analogy with “recklessness” - M.E.]
____________________________________________________________
The most successful author's neologisms in the Russian language Which of the author's neologisms introduced into the Russian language over the past two centuries turned out to be the most successful and in demand in the language? The following list of words with decreasing frequency is compiled according to Yandex . It is, of course, far from complete, but it outlines the historical background of neological activity. The author of the word is indicated in brackets and then the number of its uses throughout the Russian-language Internet. Based on the results of this list, the top five Russian word creators are M. Lomonosov, N. Karamzin, M. Saltykov-Shchedrin, V. Khlebnikov and V. Mayakovsky.Of course, the number of uses is far from the only criterion for the “success” of a word. Words can be inventive, semantically full-fledged, aesthetically attractive and at the same time rarely used, kept in the “reserve” of the language, such as, for example, Khlebnikov’s beautiful words “tvoryanin” (cf. “nobleman”) and “veschebishche” (cf. “rookery”) "). At the same time, the simplest stereotypical formation of an abstract noun from the corresponding adjective is also formally considered a “new word,” hence the Leninist neologism “party” (from “party”), as well as some Karamzin ones, created according to the same model. On all linguistic and aesthetic scales, Khlebnikov’s “creativity” will outweigh Lenin’s “party spirit.” But one cannot erase from history the fact that the 20th century in Russia, and indeed in a huge part of the world, passed under the sign not of “creativity”, but of “party spirit,” which was reflected in the frequency of its use, which is now clearly on the decline. About 20 years ago, “party spirit” would have been one of the first places in the list of neologisms, but now it is pushed back to 23rd place, below “mediocrity” and “gag.” Maybe the 21st century will pass under the sign of still marginal “creativity”?
The question is far from abstract. In the 18th century, the main class of European society was the nobility; by the middle of the 19th century, he became a factory worker, and by the middle of the 20th - a “white collar” employee of offices and companies. Recently, a book by American economist, Professor Richard Florida, "The Rise of the Creative Class: How It is Transforming Work, Leisure, Society and Everyday Life" has generated enormous interest. [1]
This new, rapidly growing class, according to the author’s calculations, already makes up 30% of the labor force in the modern United States. Creators (what better way to call them?) are people whose official duty is to create, to create something new (in any field: from medicine to advertising, from computers to literature). They don’t go to work very often, since they can create at home; but even during leisure time, on the beach or in a restaurant, they continue to work. Thanks to V. Khlebnikov, the Russian language has already acquired an excellent word to designate this new class, which in the historical reality of Russia is still only in its infancy. According to V. Khlebnikov, the creative people will eventually replace the nobles.
These are the creators marching,What was a game of the poetic mind: “from nobility to creativity” - at the beginning of the 21st century. is becoming a pattern of global economic development. This is just one example of how word creation paves the way to the future.

30 most common words "Dara"
Links lead to pages with definitions and examples of this word
One of the interesting generalizations that suggests itself in connection with these statistics: new terms and terminological formations, international in lexical composition, take root in the language faster than Russian words with a broader and less defined meaning. Although in the total set of new words the terms constitute a suppressed minority, in terms of the degree of use they easily reach the top statistical ranks. Thus, of the 30 most common words of “Dara”, almost half - 13 - have international or foreign roots, and ten of these words can be considered as terms. They own five positions in the top ten (“videology, eroticon, metarealism, realism, transculture”). Meanwhile, out of 838 words published over five years in the author's issues of "The Gift", the number of words with international roots does not exceed 10%. Oddly enough, this is an ingrained habit of the Russian language: it is more willing to root in oneself ----------------------------------------------------------------

network project Mikhail Epstein's "The Gift of Words" has been published since April 17, 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. “The word controls the brain, the brain controls the hands, hands control the kingdoms” (Velimir Khlebnikov).

New sectarianism. Types of religious and philosophical attitudes in Russia in the 1970s - 1980s. . Samara: Bakhrakh-M, 2005.
The book recreates the panorama of religious and philosophical quests of the late
Soviet era. The reader becomes acquainted with the views of seventeen sects,
deifying different aspects of reality: from the food saints -
the saints of food, to the Pushkinians - adherents of the Pushkin cult; from
fools - modern holy fools, to empty believers who believe in holiness
Russian plain and steppe... The book includes extensive theoretical
prefaces and multi-layered comments. The author traces the logic
the generation of new religious ideas, their relationship with the motives of the Sacred
Scriptures and with the historical destinies of Russia. Written in the comedy genre
ideas", the book not only sets out for the first time the content of the latest religious teachings, but
also explores them as a unique ideological phenomenon of the first on earth
post-atheist society. This is a kind of small "sum of theology"
Soviet society on the eve of its collapse.
An extremely interesting and educationally important book... a completely new look at the structure of Russian-Soviet society.
Ilya Kabakov
Borgesian in concept, the book is an example of a rare genre of theological fiction...
Alexander Genis
...Perhaps the best way to understand the consciousness of another is to imagine what kind of theology it might give rise to.
Vyacheslav Kuritsyn. M. Epstein: New heresy
Whether you are interested in Russia professionally or you just like to watch the world's boredom disintegrate into thousands of crazy points of light, you will recognize one of your own passions in this book.
Caryl Emerson (Princeton)
Epstein makes a truly unusual reckoning with communism and with ideology in general....
