Abstract
This article is devoted to the evolution of the “pear” nominations common to the Belarusian and Polish languages in the structural and semantic aspects, star¬ting from the Proto-Slavic period, as well as the image of the pear in the languages and folk cultures of both peoples. Firstly, the problem of the relative chronology of the Proto-Slavic names of the pear is revealed. Disclosure is reached on the basis of comparing lexemes with different anlauts and types of nominal declension. Secondly, a comparative analysis of changes in the semantics of the continuums of the Proto-Slavic “pear” vocabulary, which is included in the Belarusian and Polish lexical fund, is carried out. Thirdly, through the identification of similar and differ-rent motives in the lexical and phraseological material of the Belarusian and Polish languages, the problem of updating the linguistic image of the pear in the ethnocultural consciousness of Belarusians and Poles is revealed.
