Authors: M. D. Chertykova

Abstract:

The article aims to identify and describe the external image of a Khakass man in a semantic-cognitive aspect. The research was based on the data from the artistic works of the Khakass language. Revealing a common image of a Khakass man from fiction is not an easy task, since the artistic text, as an integral and structured system of linguistic means, is characterized by the uniqueness and openness of the ideological space. It is known that artistic works are characterized by genre categories and are created according to the laws of individual perception and associative thinking of the author. Moreover, in addition to depicting living space, including the characters, fiction always has a subtext and implicit meaning. Thus the descriptions tend to reflect the secondary reality. Taking all these issues into account, the following aspects were analyzed: what lexical and syntactical meaning is given to the image of a Khakass man; how semantic details are emphasized when depicting growth, physical strength, age, clothing, and facial features; what names of body parts and internal organs, combined with characterizing words, are included in the context of describing the appearance of a man (in ordinary and extreme situations).

Keywords: Khakass language, literary text, external image, man, description
