Abstract:
In contemporary linguistic discourse, there's a growing fascination with exploring
narrative binary oppositions in literary works. This study delves into the main binary pairs like
«nature-man», «tradition-modernisation», «past-present», «good-evil», «individualismcollectivism» within Kazakh fiction, employing methodologies such as generalization, content
analysis, and structural-semiotic analysis. These oppositions not only signify conflict but also
complement each other within the narrative. The focus lies on how authors craft and convey
contrasts, shaping the text's structure. Through diverse literary works, the research unveils key
characteristics of binary oppositions in Kazakh literature, demonstrating their adaptability across
genres and integration with socio-cultural and historical elements. The analysis uncovers artistic
motifs and images associated with binary oppositions, offering insights into their representation
within Kazakh creative expressions. The findings are relevant for scholars exploring binary
oppositions in artistic works and specialists in semiotics, linguistics, literary studies, and cultural
studies.
