PHILOSOPHICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE CONCEPT OF IDEAL SOCIETY AND ITS LINGUISTIC EXPRESSION IN FOLKLORE AND UTOPIAN TEXTS

Abstract

This article examines the philosophical and sociological foundations of the concept of an ideal society and its linguistic expression in folklore and utopian texts. The findings indicate that in utopian texts, the creation of an ideal society image is closely linked to social norms, moral principles, as well as individual and collective motivations, serving as a means to encourage societal participation and foster social activity. In folklore texts, the concept of an ideal society is expressed through the historical experience and ethnopedagogical values of the people. The study analyzed utopian and folklore discourses based on the system of lexical and semantic units, and as a result, the conceptual and functional aspects of the ideal society concept were identified through linguistic tools.
