Аннотация

The article deals with topical issues of the content and functioning of the mythological plot in an
artistic text. The author proposes an original interpretation of the mythological plot, its narrative specificity in the space of a literary work. It is determined that the mythological plot is marked by a system of
mythological images and motifs, events, as well as in a special way structured by time and space. The
named myth markers act as the main «driving plot units» of the mythological plot in the artistic text. The
main and peripheral (additional) myth-subject lines are distinguished. The definition of myth-labeled text
is introduced. The principles of construction of the mythological plot, the content of isomorphism with
reference to the mythological text are investigated. The article is written within the framework of the
grant AP05133019 «Cultural codes of modern Kazakhstan (literary and media discourses)» funded by the
