ПАРОНИМИЧЕСКАЯ АТТРАКЦИЯ, ИЛИ ПАРОНОМАЗИЯ В ФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНО-СЕМАНТИЧЕСКОМ АСПЕКТЕ

Abstract

This article analyses the phenomenon of paronomasia in modern French and describes the typology of paronymic constructions. The phenomenon of paronymic attraction is defined as a special lexical phenomenon of intentional convergence of similar lexical units to create a game of meanings, a special expressive effect. The study describes the typology of paronymic formations, specifies and describes the main characteristics of paronomasia, studies and determines its status and differences from folk etymology, which are primarily reduced to the function performed by this type of units. The lexical material of the proposed study consists of data from the French dictionaries of occasionalisms, as well as examples from various literature and Internet sources. This article focuses on the definition of paronymic attraction and its main features and characteristics in an attempt to define the status of the paronomasia as well as its distinctions from the phenomena mentioned above (false etymology and paronyms).
