摘要
The article analyzes the associative potential of the family names Karenina and Oblonskaya both belonging to the main character of the famous novel. In the text, the two co-referential names form some correlated series of associations (Karenina - carre - square; Oblonskaya - round), each name being a sign for a group of meanings symbolically linked with a square or a circle and reinforcing the semantic potential of each other. The author shows that the juxtapositions and the oppositions of the above mentioned meanings relying on the traditional opposition of squares and circles in culture are used by Tolstoy as an important means to deepen the imaginative and conceptual aspects of the novel.
