REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF ‘HOSPITALITY’ IN THE LINGUOETHNOCULTURE OF THE HIGHLANDERS OF THE LATE 19TH CENTURY (BASED ON THE WORK OF LEO TOLSTOY “HADJI MURAD”)

Abstract

The article pays special attention to the issues of interethnic communication. In multiethnic regions, national characteristics are given a social sound, they acquire a special status. The importance of this topic is determined by the fact that the disclosure of the features of the concept of ‘hospitality’ in the Caucasian texts by Leo Tolstoy, written by the Russian writer at the height of the Caucasian war, is of particular importance for the preservation of peaceful dialogue not only in the 19th century, but also in modern society. Anthropocentrism becomes a method of describing language in close relationship with humans, which allows us to explore not only how it works, but also its functional features. The anthropocentric approach is relevant for our research because it allowed us to study the peculiarities of language in a socio-cultural context. An integrated approach to this issue makes it possible to identify the national and cultural specifics of the concept of ‘hospitality’. The appeal to the Caucasian texts of the Russian writer L.N. Tolstoy allows to reveal the features of the lifestyle of the nations who live in mountains.
