Paco in mythopoetics of Adyghes
The paper examines one of the cosmogonic images of the «Nartkher» heroic epos
of Adyghes, Paco. This is an evil deity, having a peculiar influence on Narts that are forced
to make gifts to him. It is noted that the functions of each cosmogonic deity in the Adyghe
mythology are clearly defined. However, it is not about Paco. Nart legends suggest the
possibility that Paco is a patron of atmospheric phenomena. It is established that in the
context of ethno-mental worldview, perceptions of «godlike» Paco, the saint patron of the
forces of nature, are of great importance in Nart studies and Adyghe mythology.

An analysis is made of the history of the creation and functioning of the «Encyclopedic
Dictionary», published under the editorship of P. Lavrov in St. Petersburg at the beginning of
1861. Dictionary is regarded as an organ of the opposition journalism, as experience with the
use of the publication of this kind to promote certain ideas and also as a stage in the search
for publication for secondary society layers, drawn away from serious «thick» magazines for
objective reasons. The address to its articles shows that it continued the best traditions of the
notorious «Pocket Dictionary of foreign words that are included in the Russian language»

time and deformations of the mechanism of oral transfer of folk singing skills between generations take place. Goals of the folk group teaching are to develop creativity and make

culture was developed as secular culture. Owing to high engineering excellence of those
times, exotic organ-like instruments and automatic music machines have been designed.

symbolic text in the Japanese traditional ceramics decor. Those are a close relationship of the

construction and the structure of a literary text in Japanese ceramics allows us not only to bring
the product into correlation with a particular cultural tradition in Japan, but also, in some cases,
to establish date, due to the history of export production in the workshops of the country.

On typological relations of the Adyghe general story about the War to Russian literature
The paper examines typological features of stories of the War years in the Adyghe
literature. The moral content of this topic was so large and bulky, that it gave a powerful
impetus to the literature, having formed a characteristic structural-typological layer in
it. These changes, common for the Russian literature, had a special significance for new
literatures. It is inferred that the importance of the Adyghe literature of this period is that it
has developed such problem-stylistic and structural features that have played a significant role in the formation of a new phase of national literatures.

Expression of connotation in Russian and Adyghe languages
This paper examines the unexplored problem in grammar of Circassian languages:
features of expression of connotation in the Adyghe language due to national mentality. The author
identifies the most productive means of expression of connotation: associative - image-bearing
component in the structure of the word, compound words, characterized by high repeatability of
anaphoras with emotive-evaluative component, as well as suffixes of subjective evaluation. As a
result, it is inferred that the Adyghe language is not included in the number of languages with a rich
expressive word formation, it should be classified as one of the «moderate» languages.
