Abstract
The article deals with the study of lexical and semantic means of verbalization of the concept “Anomalie”in the German language. It has been determined that any anomaly is associated with the existence of the norm.Each culture has its own ideas about the norm and anomaly. The terms “anomie” and “anomaly” have beendistinguished. The ontological, sociological and psychological aspect of studying the analyzed concept havebeen examined. The semantic field “anomaly” in the German language has been described. The etymologyand semantic composition of the lexemes that form the core of the analyzed field have been studied. Fromthe given dictionary definitions, the key semes 'deviation', 'phenomenon', 'differ' have been selected. Synonymousconnection of the lexemes that define abnormalities have been established. The periphery of the semantic field“Anomalie” has been determined. It has been pointed out that parametric adjectives play a significant rolein verbalization of anomalies in the German language, as they indicate the size of objects that deviate fromthe mean. Adjectives that express positive or negative evaluation on the basis of “unusual, abnormal” have beenanalyzed. Some adjectives with somatic meaning, used to denote an abnormal or noticeable features of a person,have been described. Proper names in the form of compound nouns with somatic meaning that record pathologicalattributes for the identification of objects, their selection from classes of similar ones have been analyzed.Phraseological somatisms, which represent the anomalies of the human body, as well as their classificationby different types of corporal objects have been presented. Semantic analysis of the described lexemes has testifiedto the existence of the concept of anomaly in German linguistic culture and revealed the national and culturalfeatures of its verbalization.
