Abstract:E.D. Aipin is one of the most well-known Khanty writer whose work is of continuing interest to critics and researchers. A variety of approaches to his artistic and journalistic works, the proposed modern literary science, however, does not give a holistic view of the copyright system images. This work aims to partially fill the existing gap, and to understand ornithomorphic images in prose of E.D. Aipin. The Khanty writer created images of birds are sacred semantics, as they are associated with mythological representations of the ethnic group. A striking example of this is a reference to the image of a Swan, one of the incarnation of the goddess Kaltesh, and the appeal to the mythological story about the bird Kars. The author repeatedly speaks of the ability of birds to influence the destiny of man, explaining that their ability to move from one world to another. The same are determined and the “shamanic” abilities of the representatives of the world of birds, their function is the messenger of joy or woe. All ornithomorphic images in the writer’s prose are divided into two groups: those with positive semantics (crow, magpie, Wagtail) and with negative semantics (grouse, Raven, Haley). However, the image of grouse in the story “in flight In the abyss,” possesses the binary characteristic. Ornithomorphic images complemented harmoniously implemented the Khanty writer animalistic tradition. Although it should be noted that ornithomorphic images less than zoomorphic, used by the author when implementing animalistic traditions in prose. Analysis of prose E.D. Aipin suggests that the works of the author implements ornithomorphic code.
Key words: Khanty literature, E.D. Aipin, system of images, ornithomorphic image.
