THE LANGUAGE REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT “MOTHERLAND” IN THE TEXT OF A LULLABY AS A GENRE OF PEDAGOGICAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the identifying ways of the linguistic representation of the concept of “homeland” in the texts of lullabies. The concept is understood as a mental entity that reflects not only the totality of the most significant features of an object, but also ideas, associations, and experiences that are associated with it. The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that the analyzed concept “homeland” is undoubtedly one of the basic concepts of many languages, since it reflects the socially significant relationship between a person and his place of residence and, as a consequence, the cultural values inherent in a particular society. The key nature of the concept “homeland” in the conceptual sphere of the Russian language is evidenced by the prevalence of this concept in the texts of lullabies, with which a person’s acquaintance with the world begins.
