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.

El artículo se dedica al análisis multidimensional de los nombres arquetípicos de los meses. El etiquetado etnocultural de los nombres de los meses se revela y se ve referenciado a los textos de folclore y ficción. Hay una conceptualización de componentes tan importantes de una imagen inocente del mundo como el tiempo, la tradición y la actividad, que determina prácticamente todas las nominaciones de los meses arquetípicos en las obras de orientación histórica y etnográfica. La nominación está relacionada con las antiguas creencias de la etnia Karachai-Balcánica, remontada al período del Paganismo y el Tengrismo. Los trabajos artísticos dedicados a la vida de las personas en el pasado, marcados por la intertextualidad y saturados con gran cantidad de etnografismos, reflejan realidades etnoculturales de la etnia Karachay-Balkaria.
