Оппозиция «природа – человек» как фрагмент концептуальной картины мира белоруса в поэме Николая Гусовского Песня о зубре

The article studies the conceptual world view of the Belarusian from the times of Nikolai Gusovsky. We turned to the origins of the birth of the Belarusian national identity, since it is from there, from that era, national and universal senses have evolved, senses which developed throughout the history of our nation and have found unique shades and colors, the so-called «national component». These senses are directly linked with oral folk art and the naive world view of our ancestors, where, in fact, national concepts, conceptual and linguistic world views of the nation arise. They evolved together with national consciousness, people’s view of the world and themselves. The poem Song about the Bison by Gusovcky N. is used as a source of research. While analyzing the poem, we have come to the conclusion, that the notions reflecting the interaction «nature – person» is the basis for the Belarusian society development in the Middle Ages. The notions contain important peculiarities of the linguistic personality of that period. Besides they became the initial variant of the concept «natural phenomena», which developed during the subsequent historical periods of our society in the conceptual and linguistic world views.
