ABSTRACT
Introduction: the article is devoted to the study of modern Mordovian women’s lyrics in the aspect of the conceptual sphere of the text. The subject of the study is the specific implementation of universal concepts and their functions in the poems of the Erzya poet Maria Eremina.
Objective: to identify the concepts in M. Eremina’s lyrics; to reveal ways of their individual author’s representation.
Research materials: poems by M. Eremina of the collection “Shka” (“Time”).
Results and novelty of the research: M. Eremina’s lyrics are analyzed for the first time in the aspect of the chosen problem, and her collection “Shka” (“Time”) is introduced into the analytical context of Finno-Ugric literary criticism. Attention is focused on the system of universal concepts, through which the individual author’s model of the world is implied. The poet’s axiological priorities and her thoughts of ontological content are conveyed. It is noted that the poet appeals to a number of aesthetic universals, the semantic field of which is expanded by contextual synonyms: time (infinity, movement), happiness
(search, struggle, overcoming), love (heat / cold, yesterday / today, look, empty words, withered flowers), loneliness (fate, emptiness, lies, soot, ash). In the lyrics of M. Eremina the concepts find both a traditional interpretation and an individual author’s interpretation. In the text they are realized through classical figurative and metaphorical series and original means of imagery.
Key words: Mordovian women’s poetry, Maria Eremina, lyrical heroine, concept, conceptual sphere, author’s model of the world
