REPRESENTATION OF NON-VERBAL EMOTIONS IN KH. NAMSARAEV’S NOVEL “TSYREMPIL”

Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the types of descriptions of non-verbal representation of emotions in the text of H. Namsaraev’s work “Tsyrempil”. The relevance is due to the insufficient study of the problem posed on the material of Buryat literature. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time the most complete analysis of the mediated description of non-verbal manifestations of emotions in the works of the founder of Buryat literature is presented. The article gives a detailed analysis of the author’s remarks, which usually contain descriptions of non-verbal manifestations of emotions of characters. Particular attention is paid to the elements of the kinesic system – facial expressions, posture, gestures. The research methods are linguistic observation, continuous sampling, description, contextual and component analysis. The author comes to the conclusion that in the analyzed story the most frequent are descriptions of the characters’ facial expressions. The investigation will attract attention of linguists to the problem of non-verbal manifestations of emotions.
