Abstract

Aim. To consider the axiological orientation of the means of representing desires in the context of the value hierarchy of the individual based on the text of the novel by M. A. Sholokhov “They Fought for their Homeland”.
Methodology. The subject of the study in the article is the value characteristics of the representational system of the concept DESIRE and linguistic units with the semantics of the same name in the author’s speech and in the lines of the characters of the above-mentioned work. There are identified and analyzed multilevel language means, grammatical and lexical-syntactic, demonstrating the axiological potential of the concept and working to create an artistic image. During the research there were used methods of observation, generalization, interpretation of results and discourse analysis.
Results. A significant fragment of the individual-author’s conceptual sphere of M. A. Sholokhov, reflecting the value attitudes of the individual, is presented from a new perspective, it is determined the axiological component of the concept DESIRE, it is established the role of sentences containing multilevel verbalizers of this concept, embodying the value system of the novel’s heroes – Russian soldiers, there are systematized the means of the category of optativity, with the help of which the mechanism of creating an artistic image in the idiostyle of M. A. Sholokhov is realized.
Research implications. The results of the research make it possible to identify the linguaxiological component of the means of expressing the desires of an individual on the original text material, which has not previously been subjected to such an analysis, to designate their value potential, and expand and supplement the idea of the possibilities of the language and style of M. A. Sholokhov.
