of the Interior Space (On the Example of the Philological Faculty
of St. Petersburg State University)
The article analyzes the local mythologized microtoponyms of the interior of the philological
faculty of St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU), as well as university interior mythology
at the level of microtoponyms representing the cultural and historical layer. The main thesis
of the article - the analysis of microtoponyms of the philological faculty in diachronic point of
view becomes a mirror of the display of historical and connotative transitions in the minds
of different generations, with the help of which cultural and social memory is reconstructed.
The semiotic metalanguage, which made it possible to look at microtoponyms comprehen-
sively, as a whole, in four dimensions: semantic, syntagmatic, pragmatic and paradigmatic,
served as the methodological prerequisite for the study. Obligations to the typological ap-
proach, all toponyms are reconstructed in four clusters and their axiological components are
revealed. In addition to linguistic, semiotic and methods and approaches like cultural studies
was also used the method of sociological survey. A study of university interior mythology at
the level of microtoponyms and cultural strata of the philological faculty of St. Petersburg
State University showed that the interior of the University is an important component of the
active manifestation of the cultural and historical thesaurus. Multiplicity of microtoponyms
become important markers not only for the reconstruction of the cultural and social memory
of the university space, but also a compass of the interior space for the socializing generation
of students.
