GRAMMATICAL FORMS OF THE CONCEPT DIKA (GOOD) IN CHECHEN LINGUISTIC CULTURE

Abstract

The article provides a brief survey of grammatical forms in which the concept dika (good) is realised in Chechen linguistic culture, based on fiction and journalistic literature in the Chechen language. A specific feature of the concept good in Chechen linguistic culture is revealed – it is the form of the Locative case of the noun dikane, which has no identical form or meaning either in Rus- sian or French linguistic culture. On the basis of examples from the texts, conclusions are made that the Chechen linguistic culture manifests values of an intangible nature to an absolutely greater extent. The value characteristics of the concept dika prevail in the evaluation of the quality of an object, phenomenon or action in its interpretation not of goodness proper, but of the qualitative assessment of what is good.
