Abstract

The article analyzes the semantics of dialect verbs derivatives with the aim of studying pragmatic aspects of linguistic meaning. Cognitive models of characterizing names of actions associated with interpersonal conflict relations are defined. The cognitive models of functional and characterizing the names have been compared, and the reasons for their differences have been determined. It is established that characterizing verbs of the investigated group can have monoand poly-propositional structures. It was determined that one of the verb propositions may reflect the objective properties of the named action, the other is the result of evaluating these properties. The evaluation is contained in derivative verbs formed from evaluative, expressive nouns or arises in the process of word-formation on the basis of metaphor. In the process of metaphor creation, the properties of different objects can be compared in the likeness. Propositions can be complicated by a fictitious modality that identifies unrelated actions of an object. In the structure of the propositions of certain verbs, various kinds of causal connection are observed. The presence of metaphorical names is explained by the group’s anthropocentrism and special discourse. It turned out that it is important not only to describe the situation and evaluate it, but also to influence the listener.

Highlights

In-depth study of the word-formative semantics of the word led the researchers to the desire to present cognitive processes behind the formation of the derived word
Word formation as a whole "acts as a process in which there is an objectification of meanings hidden at other linguistic levels and a representation in the form of hidden meanings of those that appear explicitly at other levels of language" [1]
The method of propositional analysis is aimed at establishing the types of motivational relations between the producer and the derivative, the disclosure of implicit meanings, and their objectification

Summary

Introduction

In-depth study of the word-formative semantics of the word led the researchers to the desire to present cognitive processes behind the formation of the derived word. Word formation expresses relationships similar to those that make up the semantics of syntax. The nature of propositional structures largely determines the type of motivation that connects the producing and the derived word and reveals the semantic distance between them.
