Abstract: The subject of the research is the representation peculiarities of the literary archetype of 'liver' in the poetry of a Crimean representative of the ashyk lyric poetry of the XVIIth century, Ashyk Umer. The object of the research is the love discourse of Ashyk Umer. The variety and the depth of the poet's creative style make his lyric poetry interesting for contemporary readers. The aim of this research is to study the literary archetype of 'liver' and to analyze what literary means Ashyk Umer uses to express this archetype in the love discourse. In her article Kadyrova analyzes the use of the archetype in different cultures and provides a linguistic analysis of the 'liver' lexeme as well as discusses examples from somatic phraseological units and folk songs of the Crimean Tatars. The researcher analyzes three examples of Ashyk Umer using the archetype of 'liver' in his poetry: description of liver as a suffering organ; explication of state of the liver that has suffered from his love mater's actions; and description of the stae of liver suffering from wine. The research methodology is based on the structural and functional approach that also implied such methods as analysis, generalisation and synthesis. The rationale of the research is caused by frequent researches on the manifestations of unconscious in the modern world (in the general and particular meanings, such as archetypes, national consciousness of the peoples and ethnic groups) and, consequently, the need to study them by the means of linguistics and literary studies (including Crimean Tatar literature). The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author defines peculiarities of the representation of the archetype 'liver' in Ashyk Umer's love poetry and makes a conclusion that in the Crimean Tatar culture, folklore and literature liver is synonymously linked to 'soul' and the use of this literary archetype demonstrates that the poet both related to folklore and had the hidden sufism symbols at the same time.
