Representation of the HOME concept (based on literature for children)
DOI: 10.23951/1609-624X-2024-6-66-74
The study of children’s picture of the world is a current trend in cognitive science. A child’s picture of the world is largely based on the adult model, but it also has its own specificity. The analysis of the child’s picture of the world can be based on 1) the study of the child’s language, 2) the reconstruction of basic concepts that are represented in fictional texts, most often the concept of CHILDHOOD is studied. Books written for children are of particular interest in this case. Children’s literature lays the foundation for a child’s view of the world. Writers convey their vision of the child’s world, but emphasize their value orientations. In children’s picture of the world, HOME-dwelling and HOME-family are the most vividly represented concepts. The house is considered an axiological category, inseparable from material and spiritual values. The concept of HOME is simplified in children’s picture of the world. The HOME-dwelling in it is inseparable from the filling: material things, spiritual values. The layer of the concept HOME-family is realized in books for children through the roles of family members: for the younger ones the world of home is not separated from mum and other relatives; for teenagers the value of HOME-family is learnt through losses and conflicts. In literature, the house is often portrayed as a living entity. However, its liveliness is typically associated with its spiritual content for adults and teenagers, while younger children tend to view the house as an animate being.
