СТАНОВЛЕНИЕ БРИТАНСКОЙ КУРТУАЗНОЙ МОРАЛЬНО-ЭТИЧЕСКОЙ КОНЦЕПТОСФЕРЫ В РАМКАХ РЫЦАРСКОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ XI-XIV ВВ

The article views the structure and language representation of the British ethical conceptual sphere within the bounds of the Knight culture of the XI-XIV centuries. Based on analysis of the language of poetry, and using dictionaries and glossaries, the author concludes that the continuity of the cultural tradition is one of the inherent features of ethnogeny. The dynamics of change in ethical conceptual spheres in particular ethnical systems can be treated as a continuum which develops from some initial cluster of properties. The Anglo-Saxon system of values served as the prototype of chivalry on the basis of which the knight values were introduced.
