Abstract
The article deals with the linguistic representation of nature perception. The aim of the research is to identify the emotive meaning transmitted in fiction and to reveal the role of the concept NATURE in the construction of the plot line. The novelty of the research consists in the complex methodological approach based on semantic, pragmatic, contextual, cognitive and discursive analysis. The research methodology includes analysing the situations of visual, olfactory, audial, tactile, and gustatory perception, the identification of dominant channels of nature perception, the description of the emotivity, the investigation of the role of the NATURE concept in the development of the plot. The study reveals cases of consonant and dissonant interaction between the evaluative interpretation of nature and the emotional state of characters and the phenomenon of emotional-evaluative resonance. The research has shown the possibility of singling out the discourse-forming function of the literary concept NATURE, which is conditioned by its significance in the construction of the storyline and the actualization of the emotive meaning. The results of the research may be used in the works on discourse analysis, in pragmatic and cognitive researches of fiction discourse.
