CHARACTER NETWORKS OF THE BURYAT GESER EPIC: A PLOT ABOUT THE FALL OF ATAY ULAN

Abstract

In the article, the problem is formulated for the comparative analysis of the Geseriad variants based on graph models of character systems. The models' construction makes it possible to demonstrate the system of character relationships in the text, to assess the intensity of the characters' connections within one plot. The method allows to visually compare the nature of the interaction of characters in different versions of the epic and obtain material for further comparative aanalysis.
