The axiological space of the Karachay-Balkar film discourse (on the material of documentary films about the deportation: “Khorlatmaz adam esi”, “Sad Pages of Fate”, and the feature film “Mariam” based on real events)

Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to linguo-axiological and linguo-cultural analysis of the units used by the speakers of the Karachay-Balkarian language in the verbalization of memories associated with the fundamental event for the formation of the linguistic culture and linguistic picture of the world of this people, the forcible deportation of 1943–1957. The relevance of the article is due to an attempt made in it to bridge the gap in the field of linguo-axiological and linguo-cultural studies of the Karachay-Balkarian language with the reference to film discourse related to the deportation theme. On the basis of a deep and detailed analysis of languages units used by the characters of the films, the units containing an element of evaluation are identified. The purpose of the article is to establish the features of the use of such units and the nature of their formation.Materials and Methods. The units for analysis were selected by the method of continuous sampling and subjected to general and author’s categorization in accordance with their intentional component. The comprehensive methodology of the research includes linguoculturological, contextual, consituational and conceptual analysis of the axiological concepts under consideration.Analysis. The most representative objects of analysis in this regard are the film texts of documentaries and feature films, the plots of which are based on real events, since, due to the arbitrary nature of the selection of linguistic means by the interview subjects in such films, we see the form of the language as close as possible to the natural speech of its speakers in everyday life. The representation of key axiologems in this case is verified by the existential form of explication.Results. The author of the article concludes that various means of language can be involved in the formation of evaluative units, and units with a negative evaluative component predominate in the film texts of the mentioned subject. The axiologization process of the most significant linguistic worldview components occurs in an inextricable relationship with the process of verbalization in the polycode text of a movie based on the components of the value-orientation space shared by all representatives of society.
