The system of motifs in lyrics of B. Kanapyanov

Abstract

The article examines the system of motifs of the poetic language of the Kazakh poet B. Kanapyanov, presented in his lyrical works. The “motif system” is considered in the totality of its content and structural components. The main task of the work is to describe stable motifs through the ways of their creation and development in a poetic text. The existence of a motif, both literally and figuratively, is taken as the starting position. Depending on the way the motive is expressed in the text, the nature of its description is chosen. It should be emphasized that the study of the motif system certainly involves addressing both the author's problems in general and a specific figurative series. The article attempts to determine the specifics of the motifs of B. Kanapyanov's lyrics in comparison with general cultural motives, to identify and classify the ways and means of their representation in literary texts. An important place is occupied by the problem of structuring such subconceptospheres as “family”, “homeland”, “steppe”, and “aul”. Their components are identified and systematic connections between them are determined, the main linguistic means of their representation are
isolated and classified. As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that the motifs perform various functions: from the characteristics of the lyrical situation to the image, the key theme of the poem. The range of comprehension of the system of motifs and its artistic expression is wide and diverse. Their analysis allows us to better understand the author's worldview, which is embodied in his poetry, and bring the understanding of his work to a new level.
