NATURE LEXICON IN THE POETRY OF N. RUBTSOV AS A REFLECTION OF THE NATIONAL WORLDVIEW

This study examines the nature lexicon in the poetry of Nikolay Rubtsov as a means of reflecting the national worldview. The focus of the research is on the analysis of nature-related vocabulary, its semantic features, and its role in the formation of artistic images. It is shown that natural elements in poetic texts perform not only a descriptive function but also a deeply symbolic one, enabling the expression of spiritual values, cultural traditions, and specific features of national perception. The study demonstrates that through images of nature, the poet conveys the connection between humans and the surrounding world, reveals the inner state of the lyrical hero, and reflects characteristic traits of national thinking. The results obtained can be used in linguistic and literary studies, as well as in the educational process when analyzing literary texts.
