Sandor Aksar, Motherland, native land, nature, Chuvash language, parents

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of “native land” in song poetry. Based on the analysis of the lyrics of Sandor Aksar included in the books “Akashsem te isheshe perle” (“and swans swim in pairs”), “Salamlashe shaltarsem pire” (“we are greeted by the stars”) and other collections, the author determines the place of the theme of the small homeland in the poet’s work and reveals its originality. The paper explores the polyfunctionality of images of the native land, shows the role of the author (the lyrical “I”) in poetic works. Attention is drawn to the educational functions and artistic features of the poems. The article considers the main meanings and ideas associated with the concept of “native land” and determines the group of values with which it is traditionally associated in the linguistic and poetic consciousness of Sandor Aksar. To describe the concept of “native land”, the author selects a variety of artistic means of expression and key images-symbols that reflect and represent the concept, considers universal and specific methods and means of expression of the concept in the works of the lyric writer.
