THE LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL REPRESENTATION OF THE LAW FRAME IN L.A. FILATOV’S PLAY “ABOUT FEDOT THE SAGITTARIUS, A DASHING FELLOW”

Abstract

The article is devoted to the first linguistic and cultural analysis of the linguistic representation of the LAW frame in L.A. Filatov’s play “About Fedot the Sagittarius, a Dashing Fellow”. The frame, as a mental formation reflecting the real picture of the world of the people, is reflected in language materials. Russian Russian language learners are interested in the peculiarities of perception and understanding of the basic constants and the Russian language as a foreign language. The linguistic and cultural images in the text of the play reflect ideas about power, homeland, and law. The research undertaken is based on the analysis of the linguistic representation of the frame as a mental structure. As a result of the study, the hypothesis is confirmed that the linguistic and cultural image of the LAW created in the play, on the one hand, retains the main characteristics identified earlier, on the other, contains new elements showing the peculiarities of the national perception of the LAW by Russians, which is confirmed by the analysis of linguistic material and the examples given. The material obtained expands knowledge about one of the most important phenomena of Russian culture.
