ETHNIC-MENTAL COMPONENT OF SPATIAL MODIFICATIONS IN THE TEXTS OF N. V. GOGOL ABOUT PETERSBURG

Currently, there is a large number of works devoted to questions of categorization, parameterization of a spatial category, means of its expression, the implementation of this category in speciic types of texts, etc. The analysis of spatial images leads to the conclusion that at different times, in different sciences and concepts, the category of space is not understood to be the same thing; there are many types of spaces allocated by different researchers. This article attempts to study the paradigm of ethnic, national identity, which are reflected in the author's concept of man and the world as a surrounding space, in the texts of N. V. Gogol about Petersburg. When analyzing the language of iction by N. V. Gogol, from the point of view of the functioning of the textual category of space, the authors examine the ways of expressing spatial vocabulary, as well as the ways of presenting it taking into account the lexical-semantic, grammatical and structural-compositional aspects, although other aspects of the linguistic analysis of their artistic structure were touched upon. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of spatial vocabulary and syntactic constructions, including the features of the expression of the ethnic-mental component of the text space. The main text-forming elements of the works by N. V. Gogol are spatial oppositions: "top / bottom", "statics / dynamics", "ours / yours", "openness / closeness", "reality / irreality". The main opposition couple discussed in this article is real / surreal space. Spatial oppositions play an important structure-forming role in building spatial relationships in the writer's works. The relevance of this study lies in the continuing interest of linguists in the study of spatio-temporal categories and their implementation in N. V. Gogol. The relevance of studying spatial oppositions with ethnic signiicance for linguistic research lies in the search for ways to represent being a writer, in the possibility of synthesizing a picture of the author's world and a picture of national consciousness by analyzing linguistic means and ways of expressing them in the text.
