СONCEPTUAL CONSTRUCTIONS IN TATAR LITERATURE (ON THE BASIS OF THE TALE "ELMAYU" ("THE SMILE") BY M. KABIROV)
This article deals with the problem of functioning of the postmodernism techniques in the modern Tatar prose. In particular, on the example of the tale «Elmayu» («The Smile») (2008) by M. Kabirov the forms and peculiarities of the conceptual constructions in Tatar texts are analysed. The analysis focuses on the author's attempt to discern and understand the complex processes occurring inside the human mind, the desire to explain the depressing atmosphere of the reality and to point out the reasons for the total moral-spiritual decline of society, adhering to the canons of conceptualism. And also it identifies the main concepts of the work that contribute to the construction of a conceptual model of the text.
