National originality of I. Esenberlin’s artistic style (based on the trilogy «The nomads»)

Abstract

The article discussesthe issues of national originality of the artistic style of the Kazakh writerI. Esenberlin.  The object of the research is the epic trilogy «The Nomads» (1978) by I. Esenberlin, whichdescribes the centuries-old struggle of the Kazakh nation for an independent state, and most fully displays the uniquenessof the  writer’s style. The urgency of the problem stems from the lack of a comprehensive analysis of expressive  means of the language used by the author to disclose original national thinking of nomadic people.  The authors analyze such visual and expressive means of the Kazakh language as comparison, metaphor, metonymy, epithet, phraseological units that reflect the originality of the national culture in the trilogy. The national coloring of poetic images is determined mainly by the comparison of phenomena and objects  characteristic of nomadic life, which are quite a lot in the work, since the aesthetic experience of the people  has been accumulated for many centuries.
