FORMING A VALUE SYSTEM IN AN INDIVIDUAL THROUGH THE LINGUISTIC AND COMMUNICATIVE ASPECTS OF LITERARY WORKS

Abstract

The article is dedicated to a problem of values, which is important for modern humanities, which admits an interdisciplinary nature of work. The problem of preserving and personal acceptance of traditional values is especially relevant for modern Russia, since the phenomena of globalization and digitalization contribute to the unification and standardization of languages and cultures of the world. The objective of the work is to analyze the axiological sphere of native speakers of the Russian language, which is formed by various social institutions. The authors state that literary works could contain situations that are transformed into values or anti-values in the minds of respondents. The latter forms a system that influences the worldview and individuals’ actions. The method is intentional analysis which is based on “The Little Prince” (A. de Saint-Exupery). The main predications (macrostructures) are identified, which are the values highlighted by the respondents, such as kindness, friendship, peace, love and honesty. Each value has second-order predications, as well as an analytical assessment of the situation, which together make it possible to identify value as the purpose of the message. It is proved that traditional values are formed not only by Russian literary works.
