Аннотация. Статья посвящена экстралингвистическому исследованию обрядов, связанных с водой в русской и кыргызской культурах. Обряды сопутствуют многим событиям жизни человека, отражают национальный характер, являются частью культуры народа. Лингвокультурологический анализ обрядовой лексики показал, что в русской и кыргызской культурах существует двойственное отношение к воде: с одной стороны, вода жизненно необходима, а с другой, вода как стихия - разрушительна. В статье отмечается, что обряды и традиции народа отражают все этапы жизни человека: от рождения и до кончины. Подчеркивается, что обрядовая лексика, репрезентирующая концепт «вода», широко представлена как в русском, так и в кыргызском языках. Ключевые слова: обряд, традиция, лингвокультура, концепт, ритуал, текст, концептосфера, менталитет, ментальность, Аннотация. Макалада орус жана кыргыз маданиятындагы суу менен байланышкан ырым-жырымдар экстралингвистикалык өӊүттөн изилдөөгө алынат. Ырым- жырымдар адамды өмүр бою коштоп жүрөт, улуттук мүнөзүн чагылдырып элдин маданиятынын орчундуу бөлүгүн түзүп турат. Ырым-жырымдык лексикага лингво-маданияттык талдоо жүргүзүүнүн натыйжасында орус жана кыргыз маданиятында сууга эки тараптуу мамиле бар экени анык болду: биринчиси − суусуз өмүр жок, экинчиси – суу кыйратуучу элемент. Элдин ырым-жырымдары жана үрп-адаттары адамдын бүтүндөй өмүрүн чагылдырып турат. "Суу" концептисин чагылдырган ырым-жырымдык лексика кыргыз тилинде да, орус тилинде да кеӊири колдонулат. Түйүндүү сөздөр: ырым-жырымдар, каада-салт, лингвомаданият, концепт, жөрөлгө, текст, концепттик чөйрө, менталитет, менталдык. Annotation. The article is dedicated to extralinguistic research. Rites associated with water in the Russian and Kyrgyz cultures. Ceremonies accompany many events of human life, reflect the national character, are part of the culture of the people. Linguo- cultural analysis of ritual vocabulary showed that in Russian and Kyrgyz cultures there is a dual relation to water: on the one hand, water is vital necessary, but on the other hand, water as an element is destructive. In the article it is noted that the rites and traditions of the people reflect all stages of life person: from birth to death. It is emphasized that ritual vocabulary representing the concept of "water" is widely represented as in Russian and Kyrgyz languages. Key words: rite, tradition, linguistic culture, concept, ritual, text, concept sphere, mentality, mentality.

В статье рассматриваются этнопоэтические истоки сюжетостроения в прозе Бурятии 2 - й половины 20 века. В основу обзора положен анализ романа «Год огненной змеи» Ц. - Ж. Жимбиева. Выявляются особенности использования символов и понятий этнопоэтики в названии произведения, сюжетной структуре романа и художественный опыт самого писателя в осмыслении начала Великой Отечественной войны, совпавшей по восточному календарю - литэ с годом огненной змеи. Автором статьи смысловое наполнение образа змеи, в мифологии монголоязычных народов выступающей символом врага, опасности, рассматривается в связи и противопоставлении с понятиями «война» как пожирающий огонь (пожар) и «враг» как змея, от которого страдает «народ». На основе анализа сюжетно - композиционной структуры романа доказывается, что чередованием глав «День» и «Ночь» Ц. - Ж. Жимбиев актуализирует смысловую логику понятия «война» как противоестественное состояние жизни, когда всё меняется местами: день становится мрачным и беспросветным проявлением темного, а ночь позволяет уйти от дневного мрака будней в сказочно - загадочное со звездами и небом. Обоснован вывод о том, что соединение реального и мифологического придает сюжету романа особую художественную полноту и национальный колорит, способствует усилению трагического смысла событий года «змеи», раскрывает характеры, моральные качества литературных героев. The article deals with the ethnopoetic origins of plot - building in prose of Buryatia of the second half of the twentieth century. The review is based on the analysis of Ts-Zh. Zhimbiev's novel "The Year of the Fiery Snake". It identifies the features of the use of symbols and concepts of ethnopoetics in the title, the plot structure of the novel and artistic experience of the writer in understanding the beginning of the Great Patriotic war, which, according to the Chinese calendar, coincided with the year of the fiery snake. The meaning of the snake's image, which in the mythology of Mongolian - speaking peoples serving as a symbol of an enemy, danger, is considered by the author of the article in connection and opposition with concepts "war" like a consuming flame (fire) and "enemy" like a snake that oppresses "the people" Based on the analysis of the plot - compositional structure of the novel, it is proved that alternating chapters "Day" and "Night" Ts-Zh. Zhimbiev actualizes the semantic logic of the concept "war" as an unnatural state of life, when everything swaps over: the day becomes a dark and gloomy expression of darkness, and the night allows you to escape from dark daily routine into a fabulous mystery with the stars in the sky. The conclusion is proved that the conjunction of real and mythological essence gives the plot of the novel special artistic completeness and national character, enhances sense of tragic events of the year of the "snake', and reveals literary heroes' tempers and moral qualities.


The present paper makes an attempt to examine how George Herbert Meade’s theory explains people’s use of symbols as a sense-making tool to elucidate the socialization process, role performance, identity, and meaning formation within the Igbo society for explaining various aspects of human life in the novel Things Fall Apart. This study is significant as it deals with character analysis of Okonkwo, to see how different roles of son, warrior, husband, father and a clansman are defined in Igbo culture during various phases of family and social life to clarify how Symbolic Interactionism has given a new impetus to see society, culture, psychology and relationships. It argues that the physical setting is significant to human behavior and human actions can be interpreted with the critical analysis of cultural symbols and the way they are deployed. It concludes that human behavior is based upon assigning meanings and their symbolic interpretations of the objects that surround them. The Symbolic Interactionist analysis of the novel clearly indicates that Okonkwo’s self and meaning formation is built on perceptions of the reactions of his clansman and his self-concept functions to direct his behavior. The development of different roles changes role and behavior patterns. The internal and external happenings influence role performance, conflict, struggle, and affect the nature, attitude, and self-image of Okonkwo. Moreover, it also affirms that the cultural symbols for honor, respect, and manliness etc. are not fixed naturally rather these are the constructions of the mind and are given meaning through interaction of the people.

The article considers the content of the concept of «antheism» and based on the analysis of the text of the novel «Bread and Salt» by Mykhailo Stelmakh singles out its components, rooted in the minds of Ukrainians: the sacredness of the land; rootedness of Ukrainians in their native land; cost of the land; land as a living being; love for work on the land, and, at the same time, cruelty of the land and difficulty of work. In the article we start from the definition of the content of the concept of «antheism» by O. Shevel as an important feature of the mentality of Ukrainian philosophical worldview, based on the deep emotionality of Ukrainians, attitude to native nature, reflected in the material and spiritual culture of Ukraine. It was found that the selected components of the concept of «antheism» are embodied in the work as follows: the sacredness of the earth ( nursing earth, Mother Earth, Earth as a gift or God’s creation, a combination of the most important categories of being Home – Field – Temple and Faith – Hope – Love); rootedness of Ukrainians in their home ground (the land became part of people; people can give birth to bread); the value of land (in the work land is the highest value, it is more expensive than human life); earth as a living being (earth-woman, earth’s breast as mother’s breast, soothing human pain); love for work on the land (they taught to work on the land from an early age, work on it is the center of the child’s dream), and at the same time cruelty of the land and hard work (hard work that exhausted the farmer, destroyed his health, drained strength, and sometimes even killed). For Ukrainians, earth is manifested in all spheres of their lives from sacred to household. It includes a number of attributive elements: the cult of the earth, the magic of the word, the magic of the subject – everything that makes up the worldview of Ukrainians, the system of their values, everything that is embodied in the folklore and traditional culture of the people.


This research article focuses on the theme of violence and its representation by the characters of the novel “This Savage Song” by Victoria Schwab. How violence is transmitted through genes to next generations and to what extent socio- psycho factors are involved in it, has also been discussed. Similarly, in what manner violent events and deeds by the parents affect the psychology of children and how it inculcates aggressive behaviour in their minds has been studied. What role is played by the parents in grooming the personality of children and ultimately their decisions to choose the right or wrong way has been argued. In the light of the theory of Judith Harris, this research paper highlights all the phenomena involved: How the social hierarchy controls the behaviour. In addition, the aggressive approach of the people in their lives has been analyzed in the light of the study of second theorist Thomas W Blume. As the novel is a unique representation of supernatural characters, the monsters, which are the products of some cruel deeds, this research paper brings out different dimensions of human sufferings with respect to these supernatural beings. Moreover, the researcher also discusses that, in what manner the curse of violence creates an inevitable vicious cycle of cruel monsters that makes the life of the characters turbulent and miserable.
