Данная статья посвящена изучению концепта WAR в англоязычном художественном дискурсе, в частности в романе Халеда Хоссейни The Kite Runner, в основе которого лежат мотивы реальных событий, происходящих во время гражданской войны в Афганистане. Данный концепт представляется в виде поля, имеющего сложную структуру: ядерная лексема war вместе с соответствующими синонимами (battle, fighting, struggle, combat) представляют ядерные и околоядерные зоны концепта; периферийные зоны концепта, репрезентированы следующими единицами: ближняя периферия – soldiers, armed men, army, warrior, warlord, destroy, rocket, damage, bomb, rubble, ruins, persecute, quel, oppress; дальняя периферия (национально-специфические лексемы) – Afghans, Taliban, Talib, Mujahedin, Soviet, Alliance, Hаzаrа(s), Shi’a, Sunni, Pаshtun, kite fighting. Понятийное содержание концепта WAR в анализируемом романе также представлено большим количеством именных, глагольных и адъективных сочетаний: a cloud of dust, a haze of dust, Mujahedin forces, the roar of the cannon, refugee camps, a relic of two wars, the wires in one’s jaws, be half-buried in rubble, to make one’s eyes water и т.д.
This article is devoted to the study of the concept of WAR in English-language artistic discourse, in particular in Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner, which is based on the motives of real events taking place during the civil war in Afghanistan. This concept is presented in the form of a field with a complex structure: the nuclear lexeme war, together with the corresponding synonyms (battle, fighting, struggle, combat) represent the nuclear and near-nuclear zones of the concept; the peripheral zones of the concept are represented by the following units: the near periphery – soldiers, armed men, army, warrior, warlord, destroy, rocket, damage, bomb, rubble, ruins, pursue, quel, oppress; the far periphery (nationally specific tokens) – Afghans, Taliban, Talib, Mujahedin, Soviet, Alliance, Hazara(s), Shi'a, Sunni, Pashtun, kite fighting. The conceptual content of the concept of WAR in the analyzed novel is also represented by a large number of nominal, verbal and adjectival combinations: a cloud of dust, a haze of dust, Mujahedin forces, the roar of the cannon, refugee camps, a relic of two wars, the wires in one's jaws, be half-buried in rubble, to make one's eyes water, etc.
