    Annotation The paper deals with one of the key elements of the internal space of a traditional Tatar house -thestove - as a significant cultural object.If we consider the house through the prism of tradition it appears as a plot-organized text that unfolds linearly from the moment it was laid to the point of itsdevastation. The “plot” of the house always has the goal of preventing denouement, i.e. maintaining its life becomes a necessary condition for household.The starting point of the study is the identification of the elements of the house, related verbal texts and situations where they start functioning as signs., since their semiotic status changes situationally. The paper aims to study the semiotics of the stove as though it is a cultural text, which must first be read and then interpreted from different angles.The content and characteristics of the studied locus, symbols and interior items associated with it, its value emphasized in the context of the traditional ritual “scenario” of a person's life, andhis behavior in the developed space,are described.The author proceeds from the fact that in the traditional model of the world, rites and etiquette norms of the Tatars, the house appears as a spatial and mythological center.In this case, the mythological understanding of the house and its iconic elements is inextricably linked with such universal categories as the center / periphery / border /one's own / another's.In this regard, the study of the semiotic status of the designated locus is carried out through the prism of economic activity (laying the stove, practical function), human ritual life (ritual of the first cattle pasture, family, recruiting ritual, incantation tradition), mythological concepts (beliefs and customs related to the master spiritof the house / yard, ubyr), andfolklore genres (riddles, proverbs, beliefs). Paradigmatic analysis allows us to conclude that the semiotic status of the stove in the tradition under study combines the symbolism of the border and center, which dictate the subsequent functional contentof the studied locus.
