The dictionary of the great and Russian is rich in various terms and names of the professions of people. One of them is a writer. This word, like some other concepts, has several meanings in its application. We will try to talk about them in this material. We hope the information will be useful and accessible.
The writer is a writer
According to the dictionaries of Ozhegov, Ushakov, Efremova, the first (and main) meaning of the word is a writer. That is, this is the person for whom literary work is a genuine profession. Moreover, this is not a narrow, but a wider and wider specialization. In this context, a poet (Pushkin, Yesenin), and a prose writer (Tolstoy, Chekhov), and a songwriter (Vysotsky, Okudzhava), and even a publicist or critic (Belinsky) can be called a writer.
Here the writer is a generalizing concept that characterizes, rather, the professionalism of a certain person. It is associated with literature and art. And what writer, when and what he wrote, does not have fundamental values. By the way, there is also an ironic meaning when this word is pronounced in quotation marks, with some irony in relation to a person who considers himself a “great” writer, but in fact is an ordinary graphomaniac. But with regard to talent, this concept is used as a confirmation (and recognition) of professionalism and the significance of literary works.
Science specialist
The second meaning of the concept, which is more colloquial in nature, is a specialist (or teacher), a scientific worker in the field of literature theory. This person can work at the department, be a professor or assistant professor, write scientific works on literary topics, studying the work of a particular writer or the process as a whole.
School literature teacher
And one more meaning: a writer is a school literature teacher. We all know how important the teaching of native literature in high school is. It educates in a person from the youngest nails a sense of pride in their native land, a sense of small and great Motherland, develops literary tastes in various directions, forcing people to think in a broader way, and teaches them to express their thoughts competently.
Much of the upbringing of the child depends on the activity of the school teacher, his personality and preparedness in the subject, and this fact is recognized today by most pedagogical systems. Ethical and psychological aspects are important here in preparing a small person for adulthood and the correct understanding of society and spirituality.
