#2 / 2026FolkloristicsAsfar S. KUEKMYTHOPOEIC WORLDVIEWS AND KHABZE IN THE CONTEXT OF EXPLORING THE SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION OF ADYGHE UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD
This study investigates the main components of the mythoepic worldview of the Adyghe people and the code of laws known as Khabze, along with their influence on the essence of the Adyghe ethnic identity within the context of exploring the spiritual foundation of Adyghe understanding of the world. It is noted that the genetic and cultural codes, rooted deep in millennia, are inextricably linked to the ancient codes of the Nart Habzé and Adyghe Khabze, which serve as unique constitutions for the Nart society and the Adyghe people, encompassing nearly all layers of Adyghe ethics. The article emphasizes that these codes and legal frameworks were not static phenomena but rather flexible, evolving processes that adapted the human personality to dynamic social life while preserving the fundamental moral and spiritual values of the people throughout various historical periods. The value system did not contradict Khabze and was strictly adhered to according to “adygage” (Adyghe values), a synonym for humanity.
THE PHENOMENON OF “DIGITAL DZHEGUAKO” IN CONTEMPORARY ADYGHE FOLKLORE
This article examines the transformation of Adyghe (Circassian) folklore performance under the influence of digital technologies. Using the work of key figures in contemporary Adyghe neofolklore such as Zaur Nagoyev, Kazbek Nagarokov, Artur Abid, Tembulat Kerefov, and Bashir Khatsuk, the article analyzes new forms of traditional song culture. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of “digital dzheguako” and the emergence of new types of cultural mediators who combine a deep understanding of tradition with mastery of the tools of the digital age. It is concluded that contemporary Adyghe folk revival represents a successful model for adapting traditional culture to the challenges of the 21st century, in which the digital environment serves not simply as a channel for transmission but as a space for revitalization, systematization, and meaningful dialogue with heritage.

THE TRAGIC NOVEL AND THE POLYPHONIC NOVEL: ON A SEARCH FOR GENRE BOUNDARIES
The article examines the genre boundaries of the tragic novel and the polyphonic (dialogic) novel. It investigates the possibility of a genre invariant beyond the two systems of thought ‒ those of V. I. Ivanov and M. M. Bakhtin ‒ who characterize Dostoevsky’s works differently from the perspectives of the doctrine of tragedy and the theory of the novel, respectively. The study provides an analysis and comparison of the genre-forming dominants of the polyphonic novel and the tragic novel.
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL CHRONOTOPE IN THE WORK OF VLADIMIR SOLOUKHIN
The temporal picture of the world in Vladimir Soloukhin's literary heritage is analyzed in the context of studying the autobiographical chronotope. The interrelation of temporal and spatial concepts that organize the storyline in the works is investigated. The categories of time space that construct the writer's life, past and future events are described. The necessity of studying the semantic integrity of Vladimir Soloukhin's artistic world is revealed, where the chronotope is an important component for the formation of the meaningful side of the text and the perception of reality by the author.

THE THEORY OF LITERATUREVyacheslav M. GOLOVKODESCRIPTION OF AESTHETIC FORMS OF ARTISTRY IN THE METAPOETIC TEXT OF THE CLASSIC WRITER V. M. GARSHIN
This article analyzes the metapoetic concept linking the phenomenon of artistic expression with the idea of the social functionality of verbal art. According to Garshin, this is manifested in the "posing of questions" and the affirmation of a "spiritual thirst for ideals," moral values, humanism, goodness, justice, and true beauty within art. It demonstrates that while examining the aesthetics of "pure art" in a "philosophical sense" (i.e., verbal creativity as "poetry"), contrasted with the practice of "art for art's sake," the writer characterized a genuinely artistic work as a new aesthetic object distinguished by novelty and originality. The article highlights Garshin's activation of the category of artistic temperament as an aesthetic form of objectifying the criteria and principles of artistic expression. It explores forms of the author's subjectivity expressed in the writer's interpretation, as well as his considerations of the specifics of recreating artistic reality (modeling life) in literary works. The argument is presented from the perspective of the criteria of artistic expression, emphasizing the fundamental opposition between poetic quality and tendentiousness. It is established that the focus of Garshin's aesthetic reflection encompasses the means of embodying the author's unique worldview through mental imagery, revealing the writer's understanding of the "comprehending" potential of the genre poetics of literary works.
THE EVOLUTION OF LYRICAL POETRY GENRES IN DOMESTIC WORD ART FROM THE LATE 1950S TO THE 1970S (BASED ON ADYGHE LITERATURE
This article addresses relevant issues surrounding the evolution of Adyghe poetry from the late 1950s to the 1970s within the context of the development of the overall Russian artistic consciousness. It establishes distinctive features such as a movement towards diversity of thought, an increase in problematic themes, a sharpening of conflict, and a variety of artistic means. The article tracks attempts to free poetic language from solemnity, grandiosity, and ideological prescriptions, which is linked to a tendency to move away from the schematized paradigms of socialist realism. A systematic analysis of the challenges posed contributes to a broader understanding of the topic and integrates the literature of the younger generation into the study of the national literary period as a unique phenomenon that made an invaluable contribution to the development of world culture.
SONNET AS A STANZA IN THE POEM “VENEZIA LA BELLA” BY APOLLON GRIGORIEV
The article is devoted to the phenomenon of 65 fourteen verses of the lyric epic poem “Venezia la bella. Diary of a wandering romantic (Excerpt from the book “The Odyssey of the Last Romance") by A.A. Grigoriev. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the history of the creation of the work, its ideological and thematic content, as well as such an important level of expression as the stanza. It is shown that the poem reflects the poet's personal love drama. The features of lyrical digressions that occupy a dominant position in it are clarified. As a research task, the author defined the consideration of the sonnets that make up the poem, which retain both discreteness and coherence in relation to each other. It has been established that Grigoriev chose the Italian variety as the predominant type of his sonnets, in which cross-rhyming extends not only to the tercet, but also to its quatrain: aBaB aBaB cDcDee. Special attention is paid to the almost inevitable two parallel verses in the finale, reminiscent of the English model, complicated by a continuous rhyme in two head quatrains.
THEORETICAL, APPLIED AND COMPARATIVE AND CONTRASTIVE LINGUISTICSElena An. BELENKOVACULTURAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL CATEGORY «AGE» IN THE ART WORLD OF SOMERSET MAUGHAM
The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of "age" in the artistic world of Somerset Maugham. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of age categories, their national and cultural content and the peculiarities of representation in literature are considered. It is shown that Maugham's age is not only a biographical characteristic of the characters, but also a philosophical and cultural phenomenon that determines their fate and value orientations. The conclusion is made about the multilayered nature of the concept of "age" and its significance for the philosophical and aesthetic system of the writer.
CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR AS A RHIZOME: COGNITIVE-DISCURSIVE ANALYSIS OF A LITERARY TEXT
The article examines a rhizomatic approach to the study of conceptual metaphor in a literary text, developed at the junction of modern linguistics and post-structuralist philosophy. The rhizomatic principle of the functioning of conceptual metaphors is analyzed. The nature of the relationship between the domains underlying the conceptual metaphor in the literary text is determined. It is proved that metaphor in the framework of the rhizomatic approach is understood not only as a stylistic figure, but also as a cognitive mechanism structuring a conceptual system and forming a nonlinear semiotic network of the text. The paper attempts to formulate a theoretical position on the ability of a rhizomatic system of metaphorical lines to create a multiplicity of meanings, processality and coherence of a literary text, representing complex phenomena of the linguistic and cultural component of literary discourse.
FORESTS IN THE CULTURE OF SIBERIAN PEOPLES: A LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE ECOLOGY OF EASTERN SIBERIA
This article analyzes the lexical and toponymic means of representing the forest environment in the languages of the indigenous peoples of Eastern Siberia (Russian Old Believers, Evenks, Buryats) from the perspective of ecolinguistics. The forest is viewed not as a passive natural resource but as a concept that shapes the linguistic picture of the world and structures the collective experience of human interaction with nature. Based on dialectal vocabulary and toponyms, semantic groups reflecting the criteria for classifying forests are identified. It is argued that the toponymic system serves as an unofficial archive of collective memory. The methodological framework consists of semantic analysis, the cataloging of toponyms, and their comparison with mythological and ritual sources.
ANIMAL FOLK TALES: ETHNOLINGUISTIC CODE IN RUSSIAN, ADYGHE, AND ENGLISH FOLK NARRATIVES
The article analyzes the linguocultural specificity of folk tale texts in Russian, English, and Adyghe languages. It identifies specific and typical characteristics of folk tales in the three linguistic cultures through the analysis of zoomorphic characters, their roles, frequency of occurrence, and linguistic representation. While common archetypal images of animals are found in the studied linguistic cultures, key differences are established in the nomenclature of characters, plot solutions, and stylistic devices, influenced by natural-geographical and cultural-historical factors that have affected the formation of folk tale discourse. Five local corpora of folk tales are described: Russian (in the original and in translation), Adyghe (in Russian and in the Adyghe language), and English. The study concludes that animal folk tales are a complex ethnocultural linguistic phenomenon that reflects both universal mechanisms of folklore thinking and the uniqueness of the national worldview.
ASPECTS OF LEGAL TRANSLATION: SYNTACTIC PRACTICES
This article is devoted to the translation features of the English legal documentation. In course of the research the role of syntactic translation techniques has been estimated, including omissions, reoderings, assimilation, splitting/combining sentences, grammatical substitutions. The mechanisms of using the above-mentioned techniques are described. The issue of pragmatic importance in establishing an intersemantic connection between the texts of the original and the translation has been researched, which is especially relevant in the aspect of applied sciences: pedagogy and translation studies. Special attention of this study is paid to the inversion, a syntactic technique that forms the reverse word order in a sentence. The main types of English inversion are analyzed, and its applicability in legal speech is assessed. Through comparative analysis, the similarities and differences between the structures of English and Russian sentences in the aspect of legal discourse are researched.
LINGUISTIC CONSTRUCTION OF THE IMAGE OF THE FEMALE POLITICIAN IN RUSSIAN MEDIA
This study analyzes lexical markers involved in constructing gender in political discourse. It examines lexical identifiers of gender, motherhood, physical traits, and gender metaphors. It is noted that lexical identifiers for nicknames most often appeal to male images or masculine character traits, which, in turn, masculinizes the image of a female politician. Non-verbal markers related to appearance, jewelry, makeup, and clothing are also established.
