The narrative "The Secret Legend of the Mongols" in the dialogical communication of conceptual worldviews

The article presents the contextual and functional history of the Mongolian narrative "The Secret History of the Mongols," the first of which offers a brief plot of the history of humanity, part of which is the story of the Mongols and its significant (written) fixation. The second is the history of the transfer of recorded Mongolian history into the cultures of other countries as a confirmation of those "material" contacts that resulted from the formation of the Mongols' awareness of the territory that the "people on horses" could conquer, leading to the establishment of a new order in the "steppe." The philosophy of life intertwined in "The Secret History of the Mongols" with the philosophy of the narrative creates a unique functional space for metamorphic thinking. In the case of the English-language "reading" of the Mongolian narrative, the central unit marking its interaction with the external environment becomes the image of an event, marking the fact of fixing a "place" for the event in history. In the case of reading (translation) the History of the Mongols in the Russian-speaking context, the semantics of "steppe transfer" dominates – the semantics of "stops-stations," fixed in the space of mental models by a cognitive metaphor, defined in the context of the current issues of the Greater Altai as "Altai." This research employs methods of narrative analysis, conceptual modeling, and hermeneutic analysis. The philosophy of the narrative contributes to understanding how narratives define moral norms and values, influence self-identification, and shape the perception of reality by individuals and society. Narrative research on the construction of the text of the oldest literary monument of the Mongols, "The Secret History," allows for an understanding of textual representations of cognitive mapping that distinguish the territory of the Greater Altai. The potentially present mental fractions in the text give plasticity to the Altai mental landscape, the main structural unit of which should be recognized as the network metaphor, and the mode of movement as a cognitive map-path. In "The Secret History of the Mongols," Aristotelian zo and bios have found agreement: organic life and life that has a biography and centers on a character, which forms the basis of the Mongolian narrative self, the essence of which is revealed through the uniqueness of the internal form of the Mongolian narrative. The potential of the internal form of the Mongolian narrative determines the mobility and plasticity of the language systems that come into contact with it, suggesting the use of models of causal relationships and "emotional closure" in the process of constructing the "secondary" – derivative – narrative and the image of events.
