SOMATIC PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH A COMMON NEGATIVE CONNOTATION IN NATIONAL LANGUAGES (BASED ON FRENCH)

This work reports the results of the study of the meaning of somatic phraseological units with negative connotations in the French language within the anthropocentric paradigm. We emphasize active character of forming somatic phraseological units characterized by the two-dimensional semantic structure. To compare the semantics of variable word combinations and the corresponding phraseological units the analysis of primary transposition results was used to map the semantics of variable word combinations and phraseological units - a method typically applied for such a purpose; another method used was the application of an idiom onto the corresponding variable word combination to determine the degree of the components semantic merging to create coherent meaning of the studied idioms. As a result of the analysis of French somatic phraseological units, we singled out a set of words belonging to the semantic field of negative meanings that express various feelings and are used to characterize actions or people.

Subsequent Comparison

The socio-psychological phenomenon “consumer mood”, which is interpreted as an emotional and evaluative summary of the subjective understanding of the individual of various information elements that form the semantic structure of his implicit theory of consumption, has been investigated. A hypothesis has been put forward that the formation of the semantic field of the implicit theory of consumption of an individual is based on two system-forming factors: 1) the real purchasing power of the consumer, 2) the dynamics of his socio-economic status. In the event that both factors have negative actual indicators, the mood of consumer will be characterized by a negative emotional tone and high stability over time. The proposed hypothesis is confirmed by the revealing and analysis of the main determinants of the current mood of Russian consumers, and their subsequent comparison with the consumer sentiment index, identificated empirically.

The article considers the dialectical unit of the lexico-thematic group, which is of interest for study as a linguistic object in integration with materials on the traditional culture and life of the Yakuts. In the article, the author conducts a linguoculturological interpretation of the semantics of the name of the game. The relevance of the topic is because the lexico-thematic group «Dialectical names of Yakut traditional children’s games» had not previously been subjected to special study as a linguistic object. The aim of the study is to identify the dialectical features of the semantic field of the name of the Yakut traditional game “hayakh khostohor”. Research tasks: to reveal the dialectical nature of the semantics of the name of the game; to determine the semantic connection between general Yakut and dialect in the name of the game. The material for the research was bilingual explanatory dictionaries of the Yakut language, records of reports of complex expeditions of the early 20th century. The research used the following methods: linguoculturological analysis of the semantic structure of the lexeme; descriptive analysis using techniques for interpreting linguistic material. To identify semantics, the method of semantic identification is used. As a result, the dialect aspect of the semantic field of the name of the game “hayakh khostohor” was revealed. In the game, hayakh is used in two meanings: 1) “fermented fish”, the source of which is mainly the Vilyui dialect zone; 2) the title of the game defines the semantic connection of the dialect lexeme hayakh “fermented fish” with the general Yakut lexeme hayakh ‘oil’. A playful imitation of everyday life is a representation of two traditional occupations of the Yakuts (Sakha): cattle breeding – as a heritage from the ancient Turkic layer of vocabulary of cattle-breeding culture and fishing – as the creation of a northern Turkic (Yakut) gastronomic culture

RÉSUMÉ. Motivé par la forte différenciation ethnico-linguistique d’un pays caractérisé par un profil sociolinguistique pléthorique et complexe du fait de ses 283 unités linguistiques, l’Etat camerounais opte au lendemain des indépendances pour une politique linguistique érigeant l’anglais et le français comme langues officielles. A ce titre, ces deux langues des anciennes puissances coloniales bénéficient de privilèges de premiers rangs, au détriment des langues nationales qui se contentent de statuts et fonctions secondaires. Le français en ce qui le concerne se retrouve ainsi sur un territoire où les diversités ethnique, géographique et culturelle détermineront ses modalités d’appropriation et d’expansion, et surtout les variations sociolinguistiques auxquelles il est soumis. Se pose alors la question du développement et du devenir de cette langue importée et le présent article vient apporter des éléments de réponse à ce sujet. Ainsi, le travail analysera à partir de l’approche variationniste, les usages du français camerounais qui évolue et s’enrichit chaque jour un peu plus de tournures morpho-syntaxiques, d’emprunts, de nouvelles graphies, de calques, de nouveaux sens, etc. Mots-clés: appropriation, diversité, français camerounais, statuts, variations. ABSTRACT. Motivated by the strong ethno-linguistic differentiation of a country with a bloated and complex sociolinguistic profile due to its 283 linguistic units, the Cameroon government after independence opted for a language policy erecting English and French as official languages. As such, the two languages of former colonial powers receive forefront of privileges at the expense of national languages which merely secondary status and functions. As well as it is concerned, the French language finds it self in a territory where ethnic, geographic and cultural diversities determine its terms of appropriation and expansion, especially sociolinguistic variations to which it is subjected. This raises the question of the development and the future of this imported language, and this article just provides answers to this. The variationist approach is the framework through which the Cameroonian French, that evolves and grows each day a little more through morphosyntactic turns, loans, new spellings, layers, new meanings, etc. is analyzed. Keywords: appropriation, Cameroon French, diversity, statutes changes.

The aim of the articleis to study peculiarities of nominations of minerals in Russian and in its regional version, in the socio-lexicon of the Ural mining workers. For this purpose, a methodological procedure was developed based on the methods of corpus linguistics and an exemplary analysis of the semantic field mineral (minerals) in Russian was performed. The theoretical and methodological procedure is based on the semantic field theory,theory of divergence andthelexical approachproposed by Kevechs. As the material of the study were used the tales (skazy) of Pavel Bazhov .The tales (narrations) of Bazhov are a bright representation of the Ural folklore, regional perception of natural objects, their metaphorical reinterpretation , enrichment of semantic fields associated with the occupation of the inhabitants of the region, with additional semantic meanings. The results of the study reflect the presence of significant differences in the semantic structure of lexemes-nominations of minerals in the Russian language and its regional variant.

The research focuses on the study of the actualization of the concept MARRIAGE in the context of the linguocognitive and linguocultural paradigm. The article analyzes the means of modeling the concept MARRIAGE in the British language picture of the world, its content, structure and cognitive interpretation. The concept-cognitive MARRIAGE is considered in the direction of anthropocentrism with consideration of modern achievements of cognitive linguistics, and also the place of this concept in construction of the British national picture of the world is defined. In the English language tradition, this social phenomenon is expressed through the lexical-semantic field of the concept MARRIAGE. The composition of other basic concepts of linguistic consciousness largely depends on the concept MARRIAGE. The article presents the results of etymological analysis. It plays a big role in determining the typology of culture and the need for this analysis helps to establish the source of origin of the conceptualizer. The analysis of dictionary definitions made it possible to investigate all the meanings of lexical units of the outlined nominative field. This allowed us to understand the nature and types of semantic structure of words that belong to different semantic groups and semasiological subclasses, as well as to look at the epidemiological relations of the key. In order to describe the complex structure of the organization of a multi-valued keyword, the notion of lexical-semantic variant is used. Basic characteristics of the concept MARRIAGE are possible to be found in the dictionary definitions and the complex structure of the concept is defined as a field structure, that is: denotative central content with semantic nucleus, peripherality and connotative surrounding.

The Portuguese word "Brazil" is a complex notion for bearers of Brazilian language identity. Not only does it include the name of the country but also a number of generic notions, one of which is primary with respect to the geographical name and others are secondary. The name of the country goes back to the word-combination pau brasil (mahogany). This secular name co-occurred with a sacral one, i.e. Terra de Santa Cruz. The secular variant survived in spite of the negative attitude it evoked in the first decades of its existence. Its further reassessment led to the formation of other notions that form the core of the semantic field "Brazil". The peculiar feature of this field is its early formation (mid XVII century) and early elaboration of various meanings that the word "Brazil" has retained up to now. The complex notion "Brazil", which includes such meanings as "mahogany", "country", "indigenous population", "territories", and "language", is so multifold due to its secular nature: the sacral name of Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) could not have been used in such a way.

The article deals with the history of religious style formation in the Russian language. The research considers nouns of religion semantic field with a suffix -stv/о/, recorded in the 18 th century Russian lexicographic works of civil press, which provide detailed representationof confessional vocabulary – The Church Dictionaryby archpriest Peter Alekseev (1773–1794), The Short Slavic Dictionary by abbot Evgeny (Romanov) (1784) and The Dictionary of the Russian Academy (1789–1794). The paper features peculiarities in word-formation and semantic structure of nouns with a suffix -stv/о/ belonging to religion semantic field.Their lexical and grammatical categories as well as thematic groups are described.The neologisms that appeared in the 18 th century within these groups are revealed. Active development of word-formation models, arising in Russian in that period, has contributed to emerging word-formation patternsfor the nouns of religion semantic field with a suffix -stv/о/, which have been established and analyzed. It is shown that despite the notable competition caused by existence of synonymous derivatives, nouns of religion semantic field with a suffix -stv/о/ have sufficient representation in the dictionary system of the Russian language of the 18 th century, forming a special layer of confessional vocabulary. It should be noted, that the abovementioned word class, as well as Russian religious style as a whole, was going through the process of active formationin the 18 th century.

AbstractThis study focused on the semantic field for the categorization of meaning, kind of meaning and semantic structure of verbs touch in Indonesian (verba sentuh). The reason of this research is the discovery of ambiguous meaning of a word when we refer to the monolingual dictionary that exists today. The method used is descriptive method with a form of qualitative research. The data in this study is verbs touch and source of research was obtained from the dictionary of Indonesian language (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia) in 2008. The theory used in this analysis is the theory of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM). Data were analyzed using three stages, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion/verification. The analysis result obtained was four original meaning which holds a stake in touch verb formation, namely: [FEEL], [BEAT], [PRESSING] and [RUB]. The other components that make up the touch verb is 'someone' and 'something'. This study is only a fraction of the research from Natural Semantic Metalanguage data sourced from Indonesian. This research is expected to contribute for other Natural Semantic Metalanguage research. So that later can be arranged a monolingual Bahasa dictionary based on Natural Semantics Metalanguage.AbstrakPenelitian ini difokuskan pada bidang semantik untuk kategorisasi makna, jenis makna dan struktur semantik dari verba sentuh dalam bahasa Indonesia. Alasan yang menjadi latar belakang penelitian ini adalah ditemukannya keambiguan makna suatu kata apabila kita merujuk pada kamus monolingual yang ada saat ini. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan bentuk penelitian kualitatif. Data pada penelitian ini berupa verba sentuh dan sumber data penelitian diperoleh dari kamus (KBBI) pada tahun 2008. Teori yang digunakan dalam analisis ini adalah teori Metabahasa Semantik Alami (MSA). Teknik analisis data menggunakan tiga tahap yaitu, reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan/verifikasi. Hasil analisis yang didapat adalah empat makna asali yang memegang andil dalam pembentukan verba sentuh, yaitu: [MERASAKAN], [MEMUKUL], [MENEKAN] dan [MENGGOSOK]. Komponen lain yang membentuk verba sentuh adalah ‘seseorang’ dan ‘sesuatu’. Penelitian ini hanya sebagian kecil dari penelitian-penelitian Metabahasa Semantik Alami yang bersumber data dari bahasa Indonesia. Diharapkan dengan adanya penelitian ini akan dapat berkontribusi pada penelitian Metabahasa Semantik Alami yang lain. Agar nantinya dapat disusun sebuah kamus monolingual bahasa Indonesia berdasarkan Metabahasa Semantik Alami.
