Abstract

Nowadays there is a need to actualise scientific research, in which axiological analysis of philological phenomena is one of the priorities. This analysis allows to give the research an ethicalphilological perspective, the relevance of which is conditioned by the selection of those components which are connected with ontological ethical values. The interiorisation of these values in the individual’s consciousness contributes to the effective humanisation of the person’s consciousness. The aim of the study is to identify ontological ethical values in C.T. Aitmatov’s novels, presented in the form of semantic-semiotic invariant paradigms and their variable connotative components. At the level of semiotics the images-symbols as basic concepts are considered, at the level of semantics the spiritual and moral dominants of the axiosphere of these novels are revealed as part of lexemes and phrases. The material of the research was the conceptosphere of Ch.T. Aitmatov’s novels “And the Day Lasts Longer than a Century” and “The Scaffold”, represented by basic images-symbols, as well as the lexico-phrase layer of the novels “Cassandra’s Brand” and “When Mountains Fall (The Eternal Bride)”, which contains concepts that act as spiritual and moral dominants of the works. The article uses the method of theoretical poetics, axiological, descriptive and linguocultural methods, method of contextual analysis, semiotic analysis, linguocognitive approach was also applied. Results . Basic figurative and symbolic concepts in the novels “And the Day Lasts Longer than a Century” and “The Scaffold” and the semantic model of spiritual and moral dominants in the novels “Cassandra’s Brand” and “When Mountains Fall (The Eternal Bride)” have an unconditional humanistic character, reflecting the depth of spiritual and moral revelations of Ch.T. Aitmatov. These concepts and dominants constitute the ideological and moral core of the novels, being unconditional existential ideals that determine the vectors of moral and humanistic development of the individual and humanity as a whole. Conclusion : the study of the semantic-semiotic paradigm of the dominants of axiosphere of Ch.T. Aitmatov’s novels in the aspects of image-symbolic concepts and semantic model of spiritual and moral values allows to reveal the essence of the author’s ideal, to pay attention to its humanely educating character.
