Semantic structure of word-formation nests based on one Adyghe root in the Adyghe linguoculture

Abstract

Modern etymological and historical-semasiological studies, not limited to the framework of purely linguistic schemes, come to a cognitive nature. Such a scientific interdisciplinary approach provides the required depth to etymological and historical-semasiological analysis in content and word-formation aspects and corresponds to the modern humanitarian paradigm. Such a comprehensive approach to the study of the facts of the language is relevant, first of all, for research on the material of modern young-written languages that do not have a long-written tradition, which includes the Abkhaz-Adyghe. This article provides a multi-aspect analysis of a single Adyghe sound-root morpheme, which has not yet been considered as the starting base for the emergence of all derived words and all meanings that appeared as a result of its semantic evolution, that is, in all its lexical and word-formation diversity. All derived words in the article are combined into a lexical nest, which allows them to be considered in structural and substantive terms, so they form a systemic unity. The article also analyzes semantic and typological transitions of meanings related by etymological meaning and root morpheme.
