Lexical-semantic Components Research Articles

Социальная маркированность слов с конкретными значениями в татарском языке конца ХIХ - начала ХХ в. (тематическая группа «Человек»)

This work is dedicated to the problem of representing the socio-cultural processes of the late ХIХ - early ХХ century in the internal structure of the Tatar language, in particular, in its lexical-semantic component. Words with specific meanings of the thematic group “Human being” were taken as an object of the study. The subject of the paper is socially marked connotations represented in the semantics of the lexical units. The purpose of the research is to reveal, within the framework of a single thematic group, the features of the representation of social phenomena and changes that took place in the Tatar language in a certain historical period. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the study of the vocabulary of the Tatar language in the sociolinguistic aspect is carried out for the first time. As a result, it has been revealed that the representation of sociocultural processes at the language level occurs through the expansion of the semantics of specific words and the activation of lexemes of certain categories.

Color Lexical characteristics of Paolo Iashvili’s work

Language is a system. Therefore, it also has its own structure. The discovery of systemic signs in the vocabulary is facilitated by the semantic classification of the lexical fund and, consequently, the study of these separate groups. One of such lexical-semantic components is the vocabulary of colors. Thers and what symbolic blocks it unites in the poetry of the "Blues".The study of color vocabulary is related to the semantics of the word color itself. For example, the descriptive meaning of red is color, but in symbolic terms, red can be a symbol of war, joy or blood.Every writer appeals to characterize the objects with colours. Some writers’ language is rich with colour indicating vocabulary. In the paper the main attention is drown on sensation of color in Paolo Iashvili's creativity.  The aim of the article is colours’ structural-semantic analyze and to gain argumentive materials. Bluebirds prefer white, black, blue, red, yellow and synonymous units in this group. Contrasting white and black it is light and darkness that are the main philosophical colors of the world; The rest are transitional, intermediate colors.Color artistic analyze has an important part in Paulo Iashvili works. The dominant colors in his works are red and yellow as the indication of “evil” color. Using different colors poet describes comparatively peaceful events. He uses chromatic and achromatic colors.In terms of morphological  structure, it is confirmed as simple-stemmed (white, black, red, green, blue, yellow, gray), formed stem (reddish, bluish, whitish, yellowish…), hard-stemmed (black-white, white-pink, red-green…) Color names and two-component syntagms (light blue, dark blue).The nature and abundance of the use of the color phenomenon depends on the author.. The authors apply either color variation or colors are rarely realixed in their works. Different colors, depending on the context, evoke both positive and negative emotions.Although the content of the color symbols undergoes significant changes, from an interpretive point of view, the core of the color symbolism still remains unchanged. In poetry he deals with so many comprehensive issues his understanding is sometimes different.

Making Sense of Corpus Data

This paper demonstrates the essential role of corpus data in the development of a theory that explains and predicts word behavior. We make this point through a case study of verbs of sound, drawing our evidence primarily from the British National Corpus. We begin by considering pretheoretic notions of the verbs of sound as presented in corpus-based dictionaries and then contrast them with the predictions made by a theory of syntax, as represented by Chomsky's Government-Binding framework. We identify and classify the transitive uses of sixteen representative verbs of sound found in the corpus data. Finally, we consider what a linguistic account with both syntactic and lexical semantic components has to offer as an explanation of observed differences in the behavior of the sample verbs.
