摘要
The paper deals with linguosemiotic means of objectification of the miraculous in a cosmogonic myth, the traces of which can be found in the archaic society. The aim of the study is the analysis of a cosmogonic myth as a semiotic system which signifies the mythological message of a miracle, which is represented in the individual’s picture of the world by a set of mythological snapshots. The fundamental works by scientists that specialize in the study of myth as a semiotic system served as the methodological basis of the research. The objective of the study determined the choice of the research methods used for detecting and describing linguosemiotic means of objectification of the miraculous in a cosmogonic myth. It is concluded that the linguosemiotic space of the miraculous in a cosmogonic myth is organized with the help of codes and a wide range of signs (verbal, non-verbal and mixed) that perform denotative, evaluative and directive functions.
