In modern times humanity is facing a crisis in many spheres, the spiritual and moral one being most urgent. Resort to the ethnocultural tradition based on the ethical-aesthetic ideas, local customary practices and traditional (adat) laws seems most effective to overcome the crisis phenomena. In this connection, the preservation of ethnocultural identity comes to the fore. The leading feature of modern literature is the interest to ethnic self-identity as a defensive reaction to globalization and leveling of the individual's selfcategorization. Emotive prose and poetry by Adyghe and Karachay-Balkarian authors have been analyzed in the article with the view of determining the forms of manifestation of the heroes' ethnic identity, establishing the role of traditional concepts and archetypical ideas in the formation of the ethnic selfcategorization and the development of their worldview.

The article is an attempt to “re-read and rethink” the novels of Russian-speaking Kabardian writer M. Elberd “Terrible way to Oshkhamakho” and “Look for where you didn’t hide” at the level of modern literary experience. The authors focus on the complex, multifaceted interweaving of a single, essentially self-national and Russian-language literary process. This approach allows us to see new facets of artistic and sociocultural interrelations in the evolution of novel thinking. The particular interest of the Russian-language novel in history is connected with the important problem of how people choose their own destiny. The most important criterion in the North Caucasian Russian-speaking Romanticism remains the widespread world perception of the people: this circumstance emphasizes the importance of the orientation of Kabardian literature of the 80s of the 20th century to folk mythology, Adyg etiquette, the cycle of legends about Zhabagi Kazanoko, enlightenment, creativity of the classics of Kabardian literature Ali Shogentsukov and A. Keshokov. The article uses an integrated approach. It combines elements of typological, systemic-holistic and historical-literary analysis. The research methods are structural-analytical, synchronous-comparative, hermeneutic.

Для филологической науки представляется важным полиаспектный анализ языковых единиц, вербализующихся в художественном тексте. В работе предпринята попытка выявить и описать обращения, типичные для поэзии С. Шахмурзаева, их структурно-семантические особенности, отражающие этико-эстетические и аксиологические представления этноса. Обращения рассмотрены в различных семантических связках, что позволило наиболее полно представить их функциональную значимость, показать лексико-стилистические и синтаксические возможности языка; акцент сделан на специфике употребления оптативных и императивных конструкцийобращений, а также других, позиции которых замещаются субстантивными нарицательными лексемами, обозначающими объекты флоры и фауны.
