Организация и семантические отношения лексико-семантического поля «Ландшафтная архитектура» (на материале английского языка)

Abstract

The aim of the study was to present the structure of the lexico-semantic field “Landscape architecture” by the material of the English language. The article identifies specific groups, subgroups and sub-subgroups of the field under study and also considers various types of semantic relations within it. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it was the first to systematize the units of landscape vocabulary by applying the field approach. Currently, there are practically no works devoted to landscape vocabulary in linguistics, although landscape architecture and landscape design are rapidly developing areas that have an impact on human life. The results of the study showed that the lexico-semantic field “Landscape architecture” includes several lexico-semantic groups. The classification scheme for lexical units of the lexico-semantic field “Landscape architecture” reflects the semantic relations of inclusion and intersection of the field components and demonstrates such paradigmatic relations between lexemes as synonymy, antonymy, hypo-hyperonymic and part-whole relations, which indicate the organizational complexity of the studied field and its hierarchical structure.
