INTRA FIELD MODIFICATIONS OF PARTITIVE MEANINGS IN THE COMMUNICATIVE ACT

Abstract

The object of this research is partitive lexicon of the modern Russian language which is united by a complex of language characteristics confirming its field organization system. The subject of consideration is the semantic processes in the lexical-semantic field of partitive lexicon which is revealed by the analysis of the semas of modifications of values in the communicative act. The purpose of the article is to describe intraparcellative and interparcellative transfers of values in the lexical-semantic field of partitive lexicon. Methodology of the component and contextual analysis and also elements of a stylistic method are used. All these methods were applied according to the synchronous description of material. The finding of this research established that intra field variation of lexical-semantic options (25 types of transfers of values) represents its own system multi-scale, multidirectional and the multi-frequency of transfers of the values regulated by language requirements of this microstructure. The comparative tables showing a dynamic proportion of the directions the interparcellative processes and also range of rate of figurative uses included in the work. Analysing the variative relationship the author came to conclusion that almost all constituents of field have potential possibility to conduct intra field transfers of names. The most regular, frequent and divaricate process of variations are observed among high-frequency partitives of the second level of abstractness — elements of a zone of the near periphery. The practical value of results of the research is possible in respect of forecasting of the corresponding semantic innovations.
