This world in actually language relation is determined by central text concepts, which are understood as key words of spiritual culture. The concept «memory» acts as a key word concept in G.

The conceptual analysis of this word shows that in the art world of the author as a special creative linguistic personality, «memory» forms the conceptual, semantic field inherent in this author. The analysis of the text of the story shows that the part of this field consists of such components, as «memory – ancestors», «memory – father’s house», «memory – fragile thread», «memory – communication with the past and future», «memory – time», «memory – genealogical communication», «memory – life», «memory – eternity». These semantic categories forming semantic space of the «memory» concept, as a result define a special art world of the author, his special world view.
