Abstract
The article is devoted to the poetics of the path chronotope in the Yakut heroic epic. The relevance of the topic is due to the need for an in-depth study of the spatio-temporal organization of the path in the olonkho, in particular in the Vilyui epic tradition, to which the olonkho S.N. Karataev “Bogatyr Tong Saar” belongs. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that for the first time the poetics of the path chronotope in the Yakut epic is subjected to systemic analysis, and for the first time the peculiarities of the path chronotope in the Vilyui epic tradition are revealed. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the chronotope of the path occupies the most important place not only in the chronotope of the olonkho, but in general in its plot-compositional organization. The structure of the path has been determined, consisting of three main parts: the departure of the hero on the path, the process of the path itself, the completion of the path (the return of the hero to his homeland), in which various plot motives are realized. Particular attention is paid to the plot-forming role of the path chronotope in the olonkho, its relationship with the system of characters, poetical and stylistic means. It has been established that the leading links of the poetics of the Yakut heroic epic have inextricable interconnections in solving the main ideological and aesthetic problems.
