Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the conceptual component of the Adyghe Nart epic. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe the key and basic emotional discourse-forming concepts representing the Adyghe linguoculture, based on the material of the Adyghe Nart epic. The realization of this goal provides for the solution of the following tasks: to analyze the cycles of the Adyghe Nart epic; to identify and describe the basic emotional concepts that form the epic discourse; to determine the key discourse-forming concept. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: observation, analysis, continuous sampling method, descriptive method. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the concept of “NART” is considered as the key nuclear concept of the Adyghe epic, which unites the basic supporting elements of the language around itself. It is noted that the proper names of the characters are always accompanied by the epithet “nart”. All actions, events, adventures, trials, exploits unfold around the Nart characters. As a result of the conducted research, we came to the conclusion that the basic discourse-forming concepts are the emotive concepts of “LOVE”, “PASSION”, “FAITH”, “LOYALTY”. The basic emotion “passion” of the Adyghe Nart epic has its own set of controlled and uncontrolled reactions of the subject. Controlled reactions of the subject are reflected in his speech behavior, and uncontrolled reactions are reflected in the non-speech behavior of the subject. Love and passion are correlated concepts for sleds. They form a single whole in all the passages where the love line of the main characters is described. You can notice a single way of word formation and a single root Shiu “good” in the words Shiulegunig ‘love’ and Shioigunig ‘passion’.

Abrosimova, K. A. Andreeva, Z. H. Bizheva, L. Y. Buyanova, A. S. Goncharova, O. S. Makarova, O. G. Pocheptsov, E. A. Redkozubova, E. K. Spitsyna, A. Sh. Altruova, G. R. Nurekeshova and other scholars. The theoretical and practical value is seen in the possibility of using the results in theoretical disciplines and practical courses in general linguistics, Caucasian languages, theoretical, applied and comparative linguistics, epic studies, as well as in the process of teaching cognitive conceptual analysis of folklore text.
