The article presents the results of a sociolinguistic survey conducted by the author in the Chuvash diaspora of Moscow region. The actual use of the Chuvash language in the conditions of Diaspora residence is determined, among other things, by the previous language experience of respondents in their small homeland. The most common stages of language biography are: languages used by respondents in conversation with parents, older relatives, peers in childhood before school; the language used in teaching in primary school, in secondary school, in High school, - all these factors allow to reveal various ways of ethnic language acquisition.

The purpose of the article dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Chinghiz Aitmatov’s birth is the study of the phenomenon of the writer’s artistic world, the uniqueness of which is due to a special author’s vision, manifested in the mythopoetic and philosophical understanding of life, in the “new” type of literary thinking, in creating a holistic national image of the world, in the “linguistic cosmos” of the bilingual author. On the material of the texts “The White Sheamboat”, “The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years”, “Scaffold”, “When the Mountains Fall (Eternal Bride)” and others, the poetics of the title, spatial loci and images of animals, the function of motives, the semantics of the circle, the specific character of poetic language are analyzed. The thirst for creativity as the need for “artistic perception of life” is considered in the article in two main aspects, formulated by Aitmatov himself as the Artist’s responsibility before the future: “knowledge of infinite beauty and infinite contradiction of the world”. The results of the text analysis are correlated in the article with the creative principles of the author, which made it possible to define the phenomenon of the artistic world of the bilingual writer as an achieving a “new level of consciousness” (Chinghiz Aitmatov’s “Linguistic Cosmos”).

Using the methods of literary analysis, the author tries to trace the evolution of the hero of the novel by G. Belger in the aspect of the transcultural approach. The central object of the study was the “House” archetype. The author comes to the conclusion that the elements of different levels associated with this archetype - from ontological categories (“here-being”, “there-being”) to symbols allow explicating Belger’s idea of Allness, which serves as an alternative to Homelessness and Findability.
