NOMINATIVE SPACE OF THE CONCEPT PARENTS IN HUTSUL LINGUISTIC WORLD-IMAGE

Abstract

It has been acknowledged that against the background of unquenchable interest to the problem of speakers’ spiritual universe reconstruction the study of concepts remains one of the necessary and urgent tasks of modern linguistic research. The purpose of this study is to analyze the ways of linguistic implementation of the concept of parents in the local Hutsul world-image. The subject area is the concept of parents. The specific topic is the verbal ways of the analyzed concept representing in the Hutsul dialects. Achieving the set goal determined the choice of appropriate research methodology, especially: the continuous sampling method, which is aimed at isolating the linguistic representatives of the concept from dialect dictionaries and texts for the formation of actual research material; contextual analysis, which made it possible to find out the semantics of the conceptual verbalizers; modeling method that helped to establish the field structure of the nominative concept space. Advances in research is determined by the fact that it is the first time attempts to analyze the ways of linguistic objectification of the concept of parents in the dialectal scope. A recognized theoretical value and practical value is represented in drawing the scientists’ attention to dialect conceptology as an interesting and promising direction. The conclusion and potential future directions of research. Nominative space of the concept of parents is heterogeneous in the Hutsul world-image. It is formed by simple (synthetic) linguistic means, expressed by separate words, and complex (analytical) means represented by a whole compound. The potential future directions of research is connected with the analysis of the nominative space of the concept of parents in the Middle-upper-Dnieper dialects.
