The Linguistic Aspects of the Creator’s Credo in Eastern Literary Studies

Abstract

This article examines the linguistic and philosophical foundations of the "creator’s credo" in Eastern literary traditions. Contrasting with Western individualism, it explores how Persian, East Asian, and Slavic literatures utilize paradox, silence, and polyphony to encode a worldview of self-transcendence. By analyzing specific linguistic markers—such as the "cutting word" in Haiku and "dialogism" in the Russian novel—the study concludes that the Eastern credo functions as a ritualistic alignment with cosmic and communal order.
