Зроблено спробу проаналізувати основні християнські концепти, представлені в циклі віршів Тараса Шевченка "Давидові псалми" з позицій когнітивного літературознавства. Виокремлено такі поняття, як БЛАГО, ГРІХ І СПОКУТА, СТРАХ БОЖИЙ, БОЖА ВОЛЯ, які формують ментальну картину автора на основі вивчення впливу Святого Письма. Детально розглядається ідея метажанрового характеру певних художніх текстів, зокрема молитов. Таким чином, увага приділяється моделюванню ментальної картини світу на основі сакральногохронотопу в циклі віршів, а також визначенню особливих рис художньої молитви.
The article attempts to analyze the main Christian concepts presented in the cycle of poems by Taras Shevchenko "Psalms of David", from the standpoint of cognitive literature. Concepts such as GOOD, SIN AND REDEMPTION, FEAR OF GOD, GOD"S WILL are singled out, which form the author"s mental picture based on the study of the influence of the Holy Scriptures. The idea of the meta-genre nature of certain artistic texts, in particular prayers, is considered in detail. The accompanying features that form the literary canon are somewhat removed when it comes to chants, translations, literary meditations. Thus, attention is paid to the modeling of the cognitive map on the basis &of the sacred chronotope in the cycle of poems, as well as to the definition of special features of artistic prayer. The nature of the "basic pattern" is clarified in order to scientifically observe the process of transformation of cultural memory in& Taras Shevchenko"s artistic poetic texts. Patterns clearly reflect the level of the author"s subconscious and extrapolate the relevant images, which are realized in poetic texts already at the level of fictional consciousness, but with the presence &of an in-depth personal beginning of the author, which in our research is presented through self-concept. It is also noted that Taras Shevchenko"s artistic method tends to the contaminated projection of the clarism of form with Bergson"s intuitionism& of ideological searches. It is also noted that the theory of genre patterns is more related to fiction, the axiology of the author"s life, his desire to maximize his own understanding of the typical situation than to rely on the canonical text, whic&h is the source of intertextuality.
