Lexico-stylistic flavor of the east in the linguistic images of A.S. Pushkin

Abstract

Linguistic images of the East by A.S. Pushkin are distinguished by their unique linguocultural plasticity, combining cultural and historical reality, cognitive metaphor, the author’s subjective evaluative interpretation of a communicative event, reflecting the lexico-stylistic flavor of the East. The main idea of the study is the idea that linguistic images representing the picture of the world of the East serve not only as a means of banal description of the traditions, life and customs of lyrical heroes, but (and this is their main purpose) as a way of comprehending ethnic consciousness, mental attitude and the value-semantic framework of the eastern mentality
