Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In contemporary linguistic discourse, there's a growing fascination with exploring narrative binary oppositions in literary works.This study delves into the main binary pairs like «nature-man», «tradition-modernisation», «past-present», «good-evil», «individualismcollectivism» within Kazakh fiction, employing methodologies such as generalization, content analysis, and structural-semiotic analysis.These oppositions not only signify conflict but also complement each other within the narrative.The focus lies on how authors craft and convey contrasts, shaping the text's structure.Through diverse literary works, the research unveils key characteristics of binary oppositions in Kazakh literature, demonstrating their adaptability across genres and integration with socio-cultural and historical elements.The analysis uncovers artistic motifs and images associated with binary oppositions, offering insights into their representation within Kazakh creative expressions.The findings are relevant for scholars exploring binary oppositions in artistic works and specialists in semiotics, linguistics, literary studies, and cultural studies.
