Структурные типы и семантические особенности односложных корней в лексических единицах, представляющих концептосферы «Мхи», «Грибы», «Травы», «Цветы» (на материале лексики татарского, башкирского и чувашского языков)

Abstract

The research is devoted to the study of the structural type of nominal and verbal word stems and the ideographic characteristics of monosyllabic roots in the Turkic languages of the Urals-Volga region. The paper presents the lexemes of the Tatar, Bashkir and Chuvash languages associated with the conceptual spheres “Mosses”, “Mushrooms”, “Grasses”, “Flowers”. The aim of the study is to identify the features of the sound composition of monosyllabic roots in the lexemes representing the concept of the cognitive sphere “Nature (Animate)” using the vocabulary of the Tatar, Bashkir and Chuvash languages. Scientific novelty of the work lies in taking a holistic approach to the issue of lexico-semantic and phonetic characteristics of monosyllabic roots in the Turkic languages of the Urals-Volga region within the framework of the cognitive sphere “Nature (Animate)”. The paper is the first to examine the interlanguage and intralanguage semantic fields of the Tatar, Bashkir and Chuvash languages. The research findings have shown that the analysed names of plants in the modern Turkic languages of the Urals-Volga region make it possible to trace the development of the meanings of the same word in different languages. This points to the fact that people comprehend the surrounding world through objects to which they give names.
