Temporal Constructions with the Names of Holidays in the Works of I.A. Bunin

Based on the material of the works of I.A. Bunin, the article analyzes temporal constructions, which include the names of holidays. The purpose of the study is to identify the structural and semantic features of the designated temporal units and their functioning in Bunin texts. The paper uses the method of continuous sampling of linguistic material, which helps to obtain the most objective research results. The methods of observation, generalization and interpretation are applied. As a result of the conducted research, a quantitative ratio of relative temporal syntaxes and relative temporal substantive turns with lexemes-names of holidays was revealed. Statistical data are presented in the form of diagrams. It is proved that in the analyzed temporal constructions, primitive prepositions are more often used, representing the antecedence or coincidence with the designated time. The peculiarities of the use of temporal constructions with names of holidays are reflected in I.A. Bunin's idiosyncrasy.
