Abstracts:
The article attempts to identify the features of national culture in the representation of the concepts of “good” and “evil” in the Chuvash linguistic worldview. The study employed an anthropocentric approach to the analysis of the linguistic phenomena and is based on the material selected from lexicographic and folklore sources. Modeling of one of the most significant fragments of the Chuvash linguistic worldview is based on the provisions of the cognitive approach to language analysis put forward by E. Kubryakova. The authors used the method of conceptual analysis, distributive analysis, component analysis, and opposition analysis. The study showed that the cognitive categories of good and evil in the traditional folk ideas function as basic elements of the cultural code of the nation. They are characterized by oppositional semantic relations, but they form a single semantic paradigm. The study revealed five main ways of linguistic and discursive representation of the conceptual opposition “good – evil” through semantic series with expressed generalized meanings. The discursive representation of good and evil as important cognitive categories in the Chuvash folklore is historical in nature and may to some extent not correspond to modern ideas about these concepts. The paper states the possibility of expanding the cognitive space of good and evil in the Chuvash linguistic worldview.
