LINGUISTIC REPREZENTATION OF THE LEXICAL UNIT " WOMAN" IN RUSSIAN POETIC TEXTS

Abstract

This article studies some aspects of the linguistic worldview of the Yakutian old-timers and reveals the concept of person. Since the early 17th century, the Russian old-timers have been allegedly living among foreign languages in the Arctic territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) which is the largest subject of the Russian Federation. Old-timers are the oldest group of the Russian population living in Siberia. The study is based on the folklore and dialectal materials collected from representatives of this ethnic group and reflected in the "Dictionary of the Russian sub-dialects of the Yakutian old-timers". The authors of the article focus on the structure of the person concept, description of its main characteristics and identification of specific linguistic representation in the Russian sub-dialects used by old-timers. The semantics of this concept is closely connected with the peculiar lifestyle of the Yakutian old-timers.
