Abstract:
The article presents the analysis of narrative texts, which represent the linguocultural type
kazakhstani student. The interest to this research stems from the necessity of developing the
algorithm for narrative analysis from the linguocultural point of view, as well as the reasonability of addressing such a social group as the student which is so important for researchers
in different linguocultural communities It is proved that through the narrative dimension a
rather rich set of figurative characteristics of a student can be revealed, since in the sequence
of events a student’s verbal and non-verbal behaviour is realised, his/her speech portrait is
formed, the environment under the influence of which a student is, the student’s appearance
is drawn, which becomes recognisable and typical. The authors tried to identify the goals, motives, attitudes, interests and intensities, which, acting as the most significant, are actualized
in the minds of students in modern Kazakhstan, through the narrative picture of the student’s
world. The research corpus was textual fragments from publicist texts of Kazakhstani media,
containing events of students’ life, as well as essays and texts of students from the Internet. The
applied narrative analysis allowed the authors to identify situational motives and attitudes of
linguocultural type student, implemented in the narrative text, thanks to which some common and distinctive features of the representatives of modern Kazakh youth are highlighted.
In the conclusion it is shown that the study of linguistic personality in the narratological aspect opens up new possibilities for modelling generalized personality.
