THE CONCEPTS OF LONELINESS AND LONGING AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NATIONAL COGNITIV SPACE IN THE SITUATION OF MEMORY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XX CENTUARY (USING THE EXAMPLES OF THE STORIES OF N.N. TOLSTAYA AND T.N. TOLSTAYA)

Abstract

The aim of the study is to consider the vector and degree of change in the national cognitive space in the situation of memory for a specific period of time – a century – by analyzing the thematic dominants and their linguistic content in the memoir texts of the second half of the XX century in comparison with the confessional prose of the second half of the XIX century, also containing the element of memory. The scientific novelty of the work is justified by the fact that the content-thematic plan of the text is considered-memories in diachrony. As a result of the research, the relative preservation of the content-thematic originality of the text-memoirs is revealed: the leading themes in the texts-memoirs of the second half of the XIX and the second half of the XX century are the themes of LONELINESS and LONGING, which indicates the preservation of the originality of the mentality of society in time. At the same time, there is a change in the associative-connotative content of the corresponding concepts, demonstrating an extra-linguistic reality of a particular historical stage. In particular, in the texts of N.N. Tolstaya and T.N. Tolstaya, semantic variants are found that reflect the cultural situation in the Soviet Union in the 60s, as well as the peculiarities of the worldview and ideology of this period.
