The dual concept of soul-heart in S.A. Yesenin's first book "Radunitsa."

The study of the conceptosphere of a literary text, which contributes to a deep and multifaceted understanding of an individual author's worldview, undoubtedly relates to current trends in modern philological science. The concepts used by the author serve as a key to understanding their worldview, cultural identity, intentions, spiritual and aesthetic orientations, as well as to uncovering the deeper meanings of the work. The subject of this research is the conceptosphere of the first book of the greatest Russian poet of the early 20th century, S. A. Yesenin, titled "Radunitsa," which includes lyrical works written by the poet between 1910 and 1915. The aim of this article is to theoretically substantiate and identify the features of the ideational-artistic representation of the dual concept of soul-heart in S. A. Yesenin's book "Radunitsa." For the linguistic explication and analysis of the cognitive model of the dual concept of soul-heart in the lyrical works of S. A. Yesenin's first book "Radunitsa," component-semantic, contextual, comparative, and conceptual methods were employed. The concept of soul in Yesenin's "Radunitsa" is organically linked to the concept of heart, which gives grounds for distinguishing the dual artistic concept of soul-heart. The poet's artistic worldview in his first book is based on the harmony of the corporeal and the spiritual, embodying ideas of beauty, youth, goodness, and truth. The semantic relationships between the lexemes "soul" and "heart" in the cognitive model of the dual concept manifest the unity of bodily and spiritual principles, determined by the constant comparison of earthly and Eternal (in the Christian sense) life in the lyrical works of "Radunitsa." The only difference between the two concepts is the connection of the heart, whose existence is impossible outside the confines of the human body, with corporeality and spatial localization within a person. In contrast, the soul can be "extracted"; it has, as Yesenin expresses it, the hidden ability to separate from the body as from a skin. The study of the lexical and textual representation of the dual concept of soul-heart within the subsequent works of S. A. Yesenin will allow for a clearer and more detailed transmission of the qualitative changes in the poet's spiritual worldview.
