Abstract
The article is aimed at identifying the group of images underlying the primary nominative acts of “success” in the Russian language. In the process of studying the language material excerpted from the dictionaries of Church Slavonic, old and modern Russian language, methods of definition, contextual, semantic-grammatical and cognitive-interpretative analysis were applied. It is established that the evolution of the verb сп ѣ ти proceeded in the direction from syncretism of the basic prototypical images (maturation, movement, readiness, help) to the formation of discrete meanings and the development of independent lexical units. The work contributes to the theory of semantic syncretism and fills in gaps in the field of cognitive comprehension of the culture-specific verbalization features on the image of success in the Russian language.
