The Specifi cs of Representation of the Concept of «Chegem» in the Work of the Russian-Speaking Writer F. Iskander

Because of the insufficient study of the onomasticon of the works by F. Iskander, the description of the specifi cs of the concept of "Chegem" in the novel "Sandro of Chegem" and the cycle of short stories "The Way from the Varangians to the Greeks" is a key parameter of the proper name in the writer's linguistic and cultural system. Thus, the features of the cognitive component of the concept "Chegem" are determined by the individual author's vision of this concept.
With the help of one of the key concepts-onyms, national and personal ideas about Chegem are demonstrated, thereby expanding a specifi c geographical object to an unlimited cultural and moral concept. The analysis of the factual material revealed the lexical and stylistic ways of implementing the individual author's vision of the concept of "Chegem" The structure of the concept is multilevel, has a field organization, includes a core, near and far periphery with a number of cognitive features. Given the increased interest of linguists in the study of the onomasticon of F. Iskander, it is obvious that the conclusions obtained during the study can serve as a theoretical basis for further study of the specifics of concepts in a literary text.
