Reflection of Ideas about the World View in Olonkho “The girl bogatyr Dzhyrybina Dzhyrylyatta”

The article examines the possibility of transforming the mythologized linguistic units of the semiotic system reflected in the Olonkho text P. P. Yadrikhinsky-Bedieele “The Girl Hero Dzhyrybyna Dzhyrylyatta.” This text has preserved many lost elements of the culture of the Sakha people. Verbal and non-verbal symbols have been identified that reflect the traditional picture of the world. It has been found that the action code of Olonkho revolves around the main sacred action - the worship of aiyy deities. At the same time, a special place is occupied by sequential actions during the performance of the maternity rite, associated with the veneration of the patroness of childbirth – the goddess Aiyysyt. Clear spatial-structural loci of the Yakut pantheon of deities are given. The magical veneration of nature is represented by zoomorphic archetypal symbols. The landscapes of the upper, middle and lower world represent the structuring sound code in the Olonkho. Behavior in the middle world is regulated by the following key concepts: upper/lower, right/left, western/eastern, noble/ignoble, male/female, life/death. The tempo of Olonkho is set by the epic chronotope of “compressed” and social time. Collective preferences for color designations and numerical symbolism are strictly adhered to.

Abstract

The article examines the possibility of transforming the mythologized linguistic units of the semiotic system reflected in the Olonkho text P. P. Yadrikhinsky-Bedieele “The Girl Hero Dzhyrybyna Dzhyrylyatta.” This text has preserved many lost elements of the culture of the Sakha people. Verbal and non-verbal symbols have been identified that reflect the traditional picture of the world. It has been found that the action code of Olonkho revolves around the main sacred action - the worship of aiyy deities. At the same time, a special place is occupied by sequential actions during the performance of the maternity rite, associated with the veneration of the patroness of childbirth – the goddess Aiyysyt. Clear spatial-structural loci of the Yakut pantheon of deities are given. The magical veneration of nature is represented by zoomorphic archetypal symbols. The landscapes of the upper, middle and lower world represent the structuring sound code in the Olonkho. Behavior in the middle world is regulated by the following key concepts: upper/lower, right/left, western/eastern, noble/ignoble, male/female, life/death. The tempo of Olonkho is set by the epic chronotope of “compressed” and social time. Collective preferences for color designations and numerical symbolism are strictly adhered to.
