Abstract

In the article the artistic representation of «Eternal nation» concept in B. Nurzhekeev’s «Ai, dunieai» («Oh, life!») novel was considered for the first time. The meta aspects of searching «Eternal nation»
concept which takes special place in the Kazakh consciousness were shown in the work of fiction as
well. During the conceptual study of the new discourse, it was found that the author’s artistic structures
and aesthetic conclusions of different categories, reflecting the concept of «Eternal nation», can only be
determined from the deepest layers of the text context. It is established that the artistic structures that
help to explain the concept of «Eternal nation» are concentrated in the field of macro­concepts «Kazakh»,
«Russian», «knowledge», «unity». As well as conceptual structures of the concept such as frame, script,
scenario and mental picture were considered. Otherwise, subjective opinions and conclusions revealing
the image of the motive of avoiding death can be concluded with the «Eternal nation» concept
