Aim of the Study. The purpose of this article is to
analyze the features of verbal representation of the image of «heart» in the novel by Vasyl Shklar
through the prism of the phraseological fund of the language and to clarify the peculiarities of
the linguistic expression of cordocentrism in the work of the writer. An analysis of artistic text on
the subject of the comparison of hidden meanings of the subtext and the contextual and linguistic
expressions of these meanings will reveal the individual component of the concept heart. The
concept of «textual picture of the world» as a form of the text of a work of art has been considered
in the article. The concepts HEART and SOUL have been analyzed and compared in the text
space of the novel «Tin Sovy» («Shadow of Owl»), as having a double expression: material and
allegorical. Results and Discussion. It has been proved that the linguistic image of the heart is
composed of such semes: ‘the receptacle of feelings and emotions’; ‘love in its broadest sense’; ‘then
in a person who enters into a spiritual and emotional contact with another person and the whole
world as a whole’; ‘the cognitive center of man’, ‘the spiritual center of man, the locus of the soul’.
