ETHNOCULTURAL CONCEPT OF “NATURE” IN THE POETIC WORLDVIEW OF DONBASS WRITERS

Summary/Abstract: Modern linguistic research pays special attention to the study of the interconnection between conceptsand a specifi c ethnic group, as well as to some specifi c features of their refl ection in a linguistic worldview of a certainarea residents. The relevance of this article is determined by the author’s study of the specifi c formation of ethnonationalconcepts in a poetic worldview of Donbass writers in the second half of the XX century. The novelty of the articleis represented by considering the “nature” concept in the context of the literary and colloquial bilingualism in the givenarea. Using comparative analysis, the author substantiates the choice of certain lexical units in poetic texts and explainsthe infl uence of ethnonational stereotypes on the writer’s personal vision. On the periphery of national symbols, thissituational bilingualism (characterized by the domination of the spoken Russian language over the Ukrainian one despiteits status as the offi cial state and national language) formed poetic symbols distinctive only for Donbass writers.It is concluded that the formation of the “nature” ethnonational concept in the poetic texts of Donbass writers duringthe second half of the XX century was signifi cantly infl uenced by the writers’ self-identifi cation not just as members ofthe whole nation, but also as the residents of their native region. Thus, the core of the “nature” concept is formed by theethnonational symbols and images familiar to these poets since their childhood.
