Логико-семантический анализ контраста (на материале англоязычных экономических терминов)

Abstract

The study is based on English economic terms and is devoted to the logical-semantic analysis of contrast according to the following language criteria or elements: relationship type, nomination type, implementation method, word-formation properties, syntactic potential, part-of-speech, lexical-semantic features, combinatorial function. The theoretical significance of the study lies in determining the role of counterdiction at the language and psychology science intersection. The goal of study is a comprehensive theoretical and practical study of the properties of the difference between the economic terms of the English language. To achieve this goal, it is supposed to describe the history of antonymy in linguistics from its origin in order to streamline semantically contrasting (opposite and opposed) units to development to the phenomenon of absolute linguistic and speech universals. Within the framework of this approach, it is necessary to cover the origin of the principle of antonymy based on the phenomenon of oppositions, work on the classifications of antonyms, the use of semantic criteria in the study of the phenomenon, component analysis of opposites, their definitions; also touch upon the research on antonymy, which considers not only the phenomenon itself, but also related concepts, modern studies of contrast. The period from oppositions to the present, covering several centuries, culminated in the emergence of criteria, or elements of a logical-semantic analysis of semantic incompatibilities.
