Orthodoxy as an Extra-linguistic Phenomenon and the Paradoxes of Finding Compliance with its Linguistic Images in Publications of the 18th Century (Based on Materials from the National Corpus of the Russian Language)
( Pp. 122-131)

The “Dictionary of the Russian Language of the 11th–17th Centuries” states that the noun “Orthodoxy” has been found in Russian texts since the 13th (1246), and the adjective “Orthodox” since the 11th (1076) centuries. The linguistic academic resource “National Corpus of the Russian Language” shows the presence of 2.327 texts, of which only 29 publications (1.3%) account for the entire 18th century, some of which we consider in this text. The term “Orthodoxy” did not act as a unique confessional name denoting the state “right faith” of the country in the 11th–20th centuries, since a number of terms were used in this role, including the term “faith of the Greek-Russian confession”, popular in publications of the 18th century, which was included in the Code of Laws of the Russian Federation empire (1830), but as one of the epithets that emphasized the “correct faith” of the authorities (prince, tsar, emperor) and the majority of the people in a multi-confessional country of the Age of Enlightenment. The article outlines the position and approaches of modern philosophical religious studies.
