Abstract
The research aims to identify the potential of lexical and syntactic means for expressing the category of temporality in the Chuvash language. The scientific novelty of the research lies in carrying out a detailed analysis of both traditional and atypical cases of expressing temporal meanings in context, as no specific research on this topic has been conducted in Chuvash studies before. The paper is the first to establish that many phraseologised constructions, proverbs and sayings, as well as certain proper names serve as expressions of temporal relations and transmit ethnocultural information, as their prevailing connotative meaning reflects the native speakers’ particular worldview and view of specific life situations. The research findings demonstrate that the temporal conceptualisation in the Chuvash language has its own national characteristics. The temporal indicator is an integral characteristic of our existence and, being interpreted through the lens of human consciousness (of the author, character, reader), finds its expression in the text.
