The article is devoted to revealing the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the implementation of the narrator`s image in present-day English narrative. In the novels \"Love Medicine\" and \"Mean Spirit\" by contemporary Amerindian writers L. Erdrich and L. Hogan, who reflect the national peculiarities of the world perception by American Indians, their linguistic and cultural flavor, the ways of realizing the narrator as character`s image of the text are analyzed in various narrative situations.
The texts under analyses in the paper attract the interpreter`s attention by the means of reproduction the narrator`s ethnic identity, his involvement in historical events, as well as awareness, visibility in the events taking place, his presence in the narrative as an interlocutor or observer. The main author`s interest is paid to the linguocultural aspect that enables to identify and analyze the linguistic and cultural features of creating the narrator`s image, to study its ethnocultural thinking, \"linguistic culture\", to identify cultural and linguistic national stereotypes, to determine the mutual influence of the language and spiritual culture of the people. In the novels \"Love Medicine\" and \"Mean Spirit\", the descriptions of historical events, ceremonies, rituals and legends belonging to the rich culture of Native Americans give us great opportunity to come to know about values, orientations and worldview represented in different forms of speech, such as dialogues and close interactions. Narrator as we interpret him incorporates the features of the person who is Native American, who knows and honors ethnocultural traditions, values and valuable orientations. | en_US |
