Abstract

The article reconstructs the national space of England in the writer's picture of the world by the material of K. Paus-tovsky's works of the early and late periods. This problem seems signiicant in the light of modern linguistics anthro-pocentricity and according to the relevance of complex reconstruction of the writer's language picture of the world. The great artistic value of the writer's works is conirmed by the nomination for the Nobel Prize for three times. Thus, the article reveals the speciics of England perception and visualization, due to the writer's romantic worldview and to experience of his personal stay in the country. The "English" onomasticon which is characterized by signiicant axiological and cultural potential, which translates the English cultural code and is represented mainly by toponyms (names of rivers, administrative-territorial entities, cities, states), by nau-tonyms (names of English ships), by anthroponyms (names of English writers and publicists, painters, theater actors, philosophers, scientists and inventors, seafarers and military leaders, monarchs, as well as the names of English characters of Paustovsky's works) is described. The "English" ono-masticon of Paustovsky's works becomes the basis for the formation of 5 basic spaces in which the meaning of 'English' gets regular expression: country and city space, person and "thing world" space, creation space, history and war space, and sea navigation space. The perception of English national space reflects ethnic stereotypes and K. Paustovsky's romantic worldview. The model of national English space is speciic to numerous spatial and temporal parallels, spaces intersection, to regular interconnection of spatial and temporal coordinates, which argues in favor of English chronotope formation in K. Paustovsky's works. Thereby, the reconstruction of English chronotope, which is great significant research lacuna, opens up broad perspectives for linguists.
