description The study analyzes specific linguo-cognitive mechanisms of formation of a special linguo-conceptual area that structures the general linguo-cultural axiological space on the basis of archetypal and stereotyped phenomena. The textual space for the formation of the value-oriented foundations of each linguistic culture is represented, first of all, by epic works created during the formation of the nation and culture of a particular people. It is possible to assume that the intensification of this or that mythonym and its introduction into the conceptual space of the people takes place according to some universal models due to the commonality of the dominant culture-forming factors. However, there is also ethnic specificity in the creation of mythologemes, which is based on various religious, existential and socio-historical factors. Despite the recent appearance of works on the problems of the degree of influence of the mythological picture of the world on ethnic linguistic self-consciousness, its conceptual definition is still missing in science. This is largely due to the fact that in Russian cognitive linguistics the question of the epistemological structure of the ethnomarked picture of the world, which would allow one to objectively judge the nature of the relationship of its elements, has not yet received proper scientific development. It is the nature of the connection that determines the meaning of the phenomenon under study, gives a holistic view of the object under study. Thus, for researchers, the key problem in studying the mechanisms of mythologization of subjects, phenomena and situations of objective and reflexive reality in various ethnic groups and their verbalization in languages with different structures, the main problem is the search for approaches to its structuring and analysis of the connection of its components. The development of the concept of the mythological foundations of ethnic self-consciousness as a whole largely depends on the resolution of this problem today. The article discusses the features of the image of lifestyle in epic texts. The emphasis is on the Karachay-Balkar epos «Narts», which consists of several cycles. A distinctive feature of epic texts is the idealization of the life of heroes from their birth. In the Nartiada, Debet and Satanai are presented as the «first creators» and «ancestors» of the Nart people. They own the creation and invention of various tools. They often come to the aid of the Narts in the fight against their enemies.
