Phraseological unit na zubakh (on the teeth) in the light of new contextual interpretations

Linguistic studies, related to the emergence and life of phraseological units, show the importance of a neological trend in their investigation, which allows you to see the fragments of the picture of the world relevant to speakers, and the variety of ways used to verbalize ideas about them. However, the meanings of neofraseologisms, recorded in dictionaries, do not always adequately reflect the real picture of their speech functions. The article considers a neological unit whose spectrum of semantic interpretations is far from being unambiguous. The contexts of the National Corps of the Russian language, illustrating the active usage of the phrase “na zubakh” (“on the teeth – gave it one’s all”), show that it has developed quite clear syntagmatic connections that speak in favor of at least two possibilities of its interpretation - with dictionaries fixating only one of the versions. A stable collocation with the verbs to pull out, to win, etc., on the one hand, and contextual supports, united by the meaning “to win, to achieve a goal," on the other, gradually form a different meaning of the idiom, very typical of sports discourse. It characterizes sport competition, excitement, manifestation of perseverance, stamina, etc. In the course of its functioning in speech, it is gradually “magnetized” by the semantics of “win”, “at any cost”, “by all means”. All this requires the need to seriously correct the modern semantics of the phraseological unit in the dictionary.

Ing-Nouns as a Type of Processual Lexicon: Addressing Issue of Recent Borrowings in Russian

This study explores the processual properties of recent borrowed nouns featuring the component -ing-, characterized in this article as a suffix with distinct structural and semantic features. The objective of the research is to delineate various semantic groups of “ingnouns” based on their contextual paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships, particularly regarding their verbal-nominal functional properties. The material for this analysis is derived from the subcorpora “Social Networks” and “Central Mass Media” of the Russian National Corpus. It is demonstrated that the processual nature of “ing-nouns” is significantly influenced by their form, with bilingualism among Russian speakers identified as a contributing factor to the development of processuality. The processual interpretation of “ing-nouns” is evidenced by the interpretations of their lexical meanings, which reflect the linguistic reflections of speakers, as well as the introduction of the term “process” into the text. Among the verbal syntagmatic connections of “ingnouns,” the governance of the genitive case form with either object or subject meanings is noted, alongside the explication of action manner semantics through association with instrumental case forms or lexemes such as method and mechanism. The active nature of metonymic semantic derivation based on the processual meanings of “ing-nouns” is confirmed.

Лінгвокультурний концепт ВИНОв українській мовній картині світу

The article deals with the research of the concept as one of the key linguistic notions. The characterization of different approaches to the definition of the notion in "concept" is suggested. The role of the concept in the formation of the national conceptual sphere is discussed. It is noted that the persistent interest of scientists only in certain aspects of the study of the conceptual sphere of "food" necessitates a holistic study of the linguistic and cultural concept of WINE, the study of language units in the synthesis of their semantic and functional specificity, the identification of the peculiarities of the generation of a linguistic sign, as well as the need to outline linguosemiotic and linguocultural of the parameters of the concept, evidenced primarily in literary samples and paremias. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the need to expand and significantly deepen knowledge about the linguistic representation of the linguistic and cultural concept WINE in the formation of a model of the Ukrainian mentality, which helps to reveal ways of interaction between the verbal and cultural codes of the nation. The purpose of the scientific work is to study the linguistic and cultural specificity of the concept of WINE in the Ukrainian National Linguistic Worldview. The essence of the concept of "linguistic and cultural concept" and "gastronomic discourse" was clarified in the studio; the linguistic and cultural content of Ukrainian pairs with the concept of WINE is determined; the syntagmatic relations of the name of the concept were analyzed; the mechanism of respondents’ perception of the WINE concept was investigated. The authors researche into the concept WINE (vyno) in Ukrainian linguistic worldview. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it examines the linguistic and cultural concept of WINE in the Ukrainian linguistic picture of the world. In the work, the elucidation of the features of the linguistic and cultural concept and gastronomic discourse was further developed, the linguistic and cultural content of paremy with the concept WINE was determined, and the syntagmatic connections of the name of the concept were investigated. In the future, we plan to investigate the linguistic and cultural specificity of other concepts related to the gastronomic discourse.

Textual connections of the mythonyms in I.A. Bunin’s poetry

The question of the textual functioning of mythonyms in the poetic heritage of I.A. Bunin is raised. The relevance of the topic is due to the interest of linguists in the problem of artistic text-building, in particular the author’s preference in vocabulary selection, as well as the unresolved issue of modeling Bunin’s onomasticon. The purpose of the study is to describe the textual connections of mythological names, through which meaningful and conceptual information is explicated and a subtext is formed. The research material included the scientific edition (by Professor T.M. Dvinyatina) of I.A. Bunin’s poetry, from which 272 units were extracted by continuous sampling. The factual material was systematized and interpreted with the descriptive, taxonomic, quantitative methods, contextual analysis, modeling. Standing out against the background of different layers of the Bunin’s vocabulary, mythological names interact with each other, with other semantic subgroups of onyms, appellatives, attributive and verbal vocabulary. The author notes that mythoanthroponyms and theonyms have the richest syntagmatic connections. Contextual synonymy is found in demononyms, mythoanthroponyms, mythopersonyms, mythoponyms and theonyms; and contextual antonymy is found in mythoponyms and mythopersonyms. The intertextual nature and the precedent level determine the associative connections of Bunin’s mythonymicon units. It is concluded that the textual functioning of mythonyms is determined by I.A. Bunin’s intention to overcome the particularization of cultural worlds and create such an individual author’s mythopoetic space where images and plots already familiar to readers are constantly enriched with new meanings. The prospects of the work include the study of Bunin’s prose mythonymicon and the textual connections of mythonyms in it, which will allow to create a consistent onomastic model of Bunin-writer.

Lexical Greekisms in the Slavic Translation of the Byzantine Life of St. Athanasius of Athos

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the use of lexical Greekisms in the language of the Slavic Life of St. Athanasius of Athos, which belongs to the new Svyatogorsk translations from Greek of the late 13th century. By comparing the translation of the list NBKM 307 that is the closest to the archetype with the Byzantine original, it is shown that, along with observing the general Athos-Tarnovo tendency to replace Greekisms with Slavic equivalents, borrowings are very actively used in the translation (more than 40 units). It has been established that lexical Greekisms not only act as a striking sign of the book style, but also perform three important functions. Firstly, they serve to nominate a new phenomenon, object, concept (колиба, красѡволъ, солинарь), for which there is no Slavic equivalent. Secondly, they make it possible to differentiate similar concepts that are different in the cultural and linguistic environments of the 13th–14th centuries (киновїа and монастырь). And fi nally, they have a signifi cant impact on the evolution of paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections between the lexical units of the Church Slavonic language.

Contribution of Culture-loaded Loanwords to the Class of Etymological Doublets in the Contemporary English Language

The article examines the loanwords from the autochthonous languages of South Asia and (or) regional variants of English into the Inner Circle English (according to Br. Kachru) – ayah, baboo / babu, baksheesh, feringhee / feringhi / ferinji / firanghi, gooroo / guru, maharaja / maharajah, maharani, maharishi, mahatma, mandarin, mantra, pagoda – and their role in expanding doublet pairs in contemporary English. The topicality of the study is due to the replenishment of the class of etymological doublets as a result of extensive borrowing process from the languages of the postcolonial space into pluricentric English due to increased population mobility, dispatriation, growing bilingualism, and expansion of global contacts. The scientific novelty is explained by the insufficiently studied subject of the research – the distinctive features of new doublets (native word vs. loanword, loanword vs. loanword) and the dynamics of their usage in contemporary English. The continuous sampling, statistical, descriptive methods are used in order to determine the role of culture-loaded loanwords in expansion of rows of etymological doublets. The major conclusions of the conducted research can be summed up as follows. The conditions for the formation of etymological doublets can be classified into mandatory (etymological similarity, i.e. relation to the same etymon: *awo-; *bhag-; *gwere-; *meg-; *men-; *pəter-; *preg-, *pregn-; *ten-;) and additional (acceptable graphical, phonetic, morphological variation and semantic identity). The study of empirical material allows us to identify trends towards, firstly, maximum divergence of the components of etymological doublet pairs and, secondly, increased frequency of culture-loaded loanwords due to the development of polysemy, strengthening of word-formation potential, formation of syntagmatic connections and inclusion in paradigmatic relations. Using the example of etymological doublets, one can trace the formal (mainly phonetic) and functional (mainly semantic) evolution of prototype words in donor languages.

Оперное творчество Майкла Наймана: художественные идеи и принципы их музыкального воплощения

The article makes a study of the artistic concept of several of Michael Nyman’s operas and the formation of their semantic space within the immanent musical structure of the text. It is noted that the composer’s works pertain to post-minimalist musical theater and are often based on documentary sources. Despite the variety of issues involved — cloning and scientific racism in Facing Goya, copyright issues in Letters, Riddles and Writs, a distorted perception of reality in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Love Counts, and differences of worldviews in the opera Man and Boy: Dada, — the metatheme of Nyman’s opera work is music itself and, more broadly, art and its transformative power. The article pays special attention to the composer’s work with “derived” material. The deconstruction technique is singled out as the leading artistic means, it is shown how it contributes to the identification of artistic meanings. Thus, the free recombination of the segments of Schumann’s song Ich grolle nicht leads to the effect of “erasing” the original, revealing the essence of Professor P’s illness in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. The verticalization of the segments of a chorale by Bach in the opera Love Counts embodies the impossibility of building syntagmatic connections in Patsy’s mind. The elaboration of musical material by Mozart in Letters, Riddles and Writs reveals its inner kinship with minimalism, which makes the problem of plagiarism irrelevant. The collage of stylistically diverse musical material in the opera Man and Boy: Dada serves as an analogue of the concept Merz, developed by the artist Schwitters.

Action of the law of analogy in occasional word formation (based on the lyrics by E.A. Evtushenko and A.A. Voznesensky)

The article views analogy as one of the basic laws of language development. The action of the law of analogy is studied on the material of the occasional word creation of the poets of the 60-ies of the XX century E.A. Evtushenko and A.A. Voznesensky. The relevance of the study of occasionalisms is stipulated by insufficient knowledge of the interaction of regular and occasional word formation and the role of analogy in creating a poetic image. The main research method is the word-formation analysis of occasional units, which made it possible to analyze the derivational mechanism based on assimilation to ordinary regular models. Contextual analysis is applied, revealing the semantic side of the new lexeme. Component analysis was used to detect syntagmatic connections of occasional units. The author of the article notes the importance of the law of analogy not only in the choice of formants, but also in the procedure of the derivational process. The action of the law in the formation of occasional steps of word-formation nests is substantiated. The conditional entry of new units into the usual system and their ability to fill word-formation gaps are analyzed. In the course of the research, a lexical and word formation phenomenon of a different order was discovered a word formation paradigm, reflecting the processes of one word formation stage. The productivity of some root morphemes is traced in connection with their frequency in usage and participation in the formation of value concepts. The results of the analysis of language units confirm the importance of the law of analogy in the creation of occasionalisms and the expression of the authors assessment in general. In general, the results of the analysis of linguistic units confirm the high degree of significance of the law of analogy in the creation of occasionalisms and their use in poetic texts. The role of analogy as text formation means and a tool for constructing poetic imagery is emphasized. The conclusion is made about the systematic nature of the formation of lexical-derivational and semantic connections in the array of occasional vocabulary of E.A. Evtushenko and A.A. Voznesensky.

Синтаксистік синтагманың грамматикалық статусы

The article deals with the problem of studying syntagma in relation to phonetics, vocabulary, semantics, intonation, also highlights the issue of classification of syntagma by scientists in the form of a phonetic unit, semantic-intonation unit, multicomponent syntagma, one-component syntagma, lexical syntagmatics, syntactic syntagmatics, it is shown that it is not part of a a single system, and the connection of syntagma with the specified areas is recognized as a linguistic unit of the sentence. The sentence is formed from the words that have fallen into the flow of speech, and the syntagma is a syntactic category that serves to convey thought, determining the role and meaning 134Н.А. Ильясова, Г.А. Еркегалиева Turkic Studies Journal 3 (2023) 123-135of the words that come into contact within a sentence. As a result, the term syntactic syntagma is proposed. Syntactic syntagma refers to a category that has a grammatical status closely related to the structural, semantic, intonation, and communicative system of the language. During the analysis of the activity of interrelated words and linguistic units linking them within a sentence, it is proved that there is a connection between syntactic syntagma and the structural system of the language. The semantic compatibility of words as part of a syntactic syntagma is considered through the relationship of the semantic field with the lexical meaning. Intonation pause and consecutive intonation serve to link syntactic syntagma and intonation. The connection between communication and syntagma is reflected in the definition of information meanings. A comprehensive analysis of each syntagma is carried out, which serves to convey certain information, as well as the function of words and affixes as part of a syntactic syntagma, the features of the interaction of syntactic syntagmas and syntagmatic connections. Syntactic syntagma is considered as a grammatical category arising from the connection of words in the flow of speech.

Alive and dead toys: the concept of a game in A. S. Grin’s novella "Scarlet Sails"

The relevance of the topic is determined by three factors. Firstly, Grin’s texts are regularly offered as examination material for the Basic State Exam and the Unified State Exam in the Russian language. Secondly, the "Scarlet Sails" feerie studied in secondary school is often interpreted loosely and broadly due to a superficial analysis of the language and the composition of the work. Finally, the need to teach schoolchildren not just to determine the linguistic and literary properties of a text, but to comprehend the content of an artwork holistically is consistently becoming more and more urgent. I rely on the general philological principle according to which any aspect of the analysis of the subject matter of a text is associated with understanding the meaning of this text in its entirety. The research used the methods of contextual analysis of the semantics and of comparative analysis of language structures, the statistical method, the intertextual method, motif analysis and others. In the course of the study, it has been found that the theme game and its aspects belong to the content core of the work and interact with the themes of childhood, miracle, creativity, faith, and others. The diametrically opposed evaluative connotations of the concept "Toy" are directly related to the problems addressed in the novella and the writer՚s position. The text makes extensive use of the derivational nest with the top "game". Moreover, the most frequent lexeme is the noun "toy" (17 cases out of the 38 uses of the root -game-). The elaboration of the thematic field is achieved through the multiple paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of the thematic keywords. The concept of a game performs a structure-forming function in the system of characters and concerns not only the protagonists, but also the supporting characters. The theme of the game is further developed in the plot. It is figuratively embodied in the details that form the artistic world of the text.

The function of syntagmatic connections in an experimental lexical network on the example of the street lexeme

This article presents an experimental lexical network, which was created as a result of a cyclically-conducted the basis of free word associations for the Polish. Meaning in a network of this kind is represented by the connections between the defined lexeme and the defining lexeme. Using the lexeme ‘street’ (in Polish: ulica) as an example, we show how dependencies build meaning and which function is performed by syntagmatic relations.

Syntagmatic relations in gastronomisms semantics (on the material of Internet culinary sites)

Introduction. The article is devoted to the linguistic semantic characteristics of gastronomisms on the materials of culinary sites on the Internet. In the linguistic picture of the world, one of its most important parts is associated with food and human nutrition as a necessary and essential aspect of life. In the structure of this semantic field, a number of lexico-semantic groups can be distinguished. Among them, a special place is occupied by the names of culinary products, dishes used for food, which constitute the main content of the language of the culinary tradition. It is advisable to designate such names with the term «gastronomisms». The syntagmatic connections within them are of interest, that is, the compatibility of words within complex names of dishes. Purpose. The objective of the paper is to describe and systematize the ways of syntagmatic linking of words in the names of dishes on Internet culinary sites as the basis for their semantic characteristics. Results. The article shows that an important aspect of gastronomisms semantics is the syntagmatic relations in complex names, based on lexical and grammatical meanings of their components. The article identifies three types of compatibility of language units in gastronomisms: 1) by components of meanings; 2) by denotations, which are indicated by language units; 3) by grammatical meanings (syntactic positions). The components of meanings combine generic names of culinary products and names with additional food and non-food meanings, as well as generic names and proper names, which are foreign borrowings, toponyms and anthroponyms. By their denotations, the complex gastronomisms connect, as a rule, the denotative meanings of dishes and their food and non-food properties, dishes and their parts, as well as the ways and methods of their preparation, their purpose and functions. Finally, according to grammatical meanings, one can connect the grammatical subject and its attributes – simple and complex. The special kind of connections is that which contains the detailed subject, which is formed by the generic name of a dish and its proper name. Conclusion. The study gave grounds for the conclusion that an important aspect of the semantics of gastronomisms is syntagmatic relations in complex names based on the lexical and grammatical meanings of their components. Keywords: gastronomisms, culinary sites, semantics, syntagmatic relations, lexical meaning, grammatical meaning, denotation.

ЭКЗИСТЕНЦИОНАЛЬНЫЙ СМЫСЛ КОНЦЕПТА «ТОСКА» В РУССКОЙ ЯЗЫКОВОЙ КАРТИНЕ МИРА

This study is devoted to one of the most important concepts of Russian culture, which reveals the characteristic features of the Russian mentality. The relevance of the appeal to the concept “anguish” is due to its significance in Russian culture and the interest aroused by the study of the spiritual dominants of Russian culture in the aspect of intercultural communication. The author describes in detail the etymology of the word “anguish”. Based on the analysis of explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language, the definition of anguish is given, its internal form is considered, paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections are revealed. Folklore and literature are a deep reflection of the psychological meaning of the concept “anguish” in the linguistic picture of the world. A study of the subjective semantics of anguish in the works of A.S. Pushkin, A.P. Platonov, I.F. Annensky, M.I. Tsvetaeva, V.S. Vysotsky, etc. was conducted. The system of meanings that a person receives from previous generations, including those which were got through literature, not only organizes the perception and memory of a person, not only ensures the process of assimilation of human experience, but also creates conditions for the perception of the world and the picture of the world.

CREATIVE BILINGUALISM AND AUTHOR'S TRANSLATION: OBSERVATIONS| ON V. NABOKOV'S LEXICONS

The purpose of this article is to compare the “heavenly” vocabulary used in the English and Russian texts of the same work in the conditions of the author's translation from the point of view of the writer's bilingualism and the problems of the theory and practice of translation. The main part of the article is a comparative analysis of the lists of lexemes of the "sky" cluster, selected from "Speak, Memory" and «Другие берега»; the study of the syntagmatic connections of sky/небо and their synonyms that characterize the sky in two cultural and linguistic codes of Nabokov, and a comparison of the source and translated contexts containing lexemes sky/небо. The scientific value of the work consists in the fact that the original lexicographic methods of the Kursk school of linguistic folklore study are applied to the proposed empirical material for the first time: the cluster approach, methods of concordance compression and application of dictionary entries. As a result, it is proved that when switching from English to Russian, V. Nabokov departs from his own principle of literal translation.

DIDACTIC-PEDAGOGICAL BASIS OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Nowadays, at the non-philological institutions the study of English occupies the important place and is an important component in training specialists for different branches of our country. The purpose of this article is to analyze didactic-pedagogical basis of teaching foreign languages. Currently the introduction of the innovative methods to the sphere of teaching English has become important and has a great practical significance. The article gives synopsis and analysis of modern tools in the field of teaching English for Special Purposes. Certainly, teachers for Specific Purposes share a terrific deal for all intents and cause with instructors. For each it is essential to suppose about phonetic development and instructing speculations, to have bits of information in modern-day ideas recognizing their personal function and job simply as the function, furthermore to confront new improvements provided as a information to enhance their strategy in language learning. The requirements understand the conditions of specific callings and readiness to modify these conditions separate the unknown dialect educators to express functions and their pals displaying time-honored unknown dialect. They are characterized by paradigmatic (associative) and syntagmatic connections and relationships that determine their role and place in the language system. Language units are the content of this component. Aimed at ESP educating presumes instructing of English as an unknown dialect with respect to explicit calling, subject or reason. The goal of teaching a foreign language never completely coincides with the result (a student only approaches it, to a certain extent) more or less. It is necessary to take care of the attractiveness of the goal for schoolchildren, maintaining their sense of success, creating and maintaining the need to achieve the goal. This requires a teacher to have a good command of a whole range of professionally significant skills and abilities.

Pragmatic Options of the Dialogical Text as a Language Unit

The purpose of the article is to analyse pragmatic variants of a dialogical text as a language unit. It is assumed that the pragmatic context of the dialogical text (dialogue) actualizing is associated with either informative or phatic intentions. Informative and phatic dialogues appear as pragmatic allotext of a dialogical text. The research methodology is based on the synthesis of derivational and anthropocentric language theories. The process of creating a dialogical text is considered, on the one hand, as a derivational process due to the suppositional relationship between the lexeme and the text, and on the other hand, as a process of interpreting the text in the pragmatic context of its actualization. The material for the study was the recording of oral and written speech of regular native speakers in an informal communication situation. The total number of analyzed speech patterns was 140 dialogic texts – 70 texts of each communication type. It is stated that the pragmatic actualization of the dialogical text is associated with the realization of paradigmatic and syntagmatic connections of lexemes. It is revealed that the syntagmatic model of a dialogical text genesis in informative communication is an adjoining model. A paradigmatic model of dialogic text genesis in informative communication is synonymy. In phatic communication, an attachment model was identified as a syntagmatic model of the genesis of a dialogical text. The paradigmatic model for the production of dialogic text in phatic communication is a homonym model.

Древнетюркское könül, башкирское күңел ‘сердце’: этимологические связи одного соматизма

The article is devoted to showing various etymological connections of the Turkic names of the heart (somatism) as part of the anatomical vocabulary of the Turkic and Altaic languages in the context of the nostratic macrofamily. Somatisms as a lexico-semantic group belongs to the oldest layer of vocabulary, in which, on the one hand, the features of categorization and conceptualization of the world in the human mind are manifested clearly, on the other hand, the historical stability of the semantics of words and their phonomorphological appearance is demonstrated. Based on the methodology of comparative reconstruction of proto-forms, the article reveals the etymology of the word köηül, gives its direct and figurative meanings in the Proto-Turkic language. The root proto- form of somatism, according to the author, goes back not to the substantive, but to the verbal basis of көң – “wait”. Also significant in the article is the identification of semantic parallels of somatism in the ancient Turkic and Bashkir languages, the definition of direct and figurative meanings of köηül from syntagmatic connections in phraseological combinations and derived words. In addition, the author establishes historical links between könül and other Turkic somatisms, as well as with lexemes denoting kinship relations. It is important in the article to identify on the basis of this somatism the semantic connections of the Turkic languages, in particular, the Altai family of languages, as a whole with other languages of the world, which confirms the verification of the nostratic theory of languages. A more thorough examination and search for probable isoglosses gives a picture of a very wide distribution of single-root words with the base *QVN / KVN also within the (hypothetical) superfamilies of Indo-European, Sino-Caucasian, Austric and Amerindian languages.

Изучение терминологических подсистем современных школьных учебников на русском языке с помощью модели анализа семантики естественных языков Word2Vec

The article reports the results of the study that explored the inventory and functioning of scientific terms and special lexemes in textbooks for Russia’s secondary schools. The toolset included modern methods of natural language processing and deep learning. The number of terms from different fields of knowledge that a secondary school student should learn has never been evaluated. According to the preliminary evaluations based on the Model Basic Curriculum for General and Secondary Education 2015, a secondary school leaver is supposed to be able to understand, recognise and use about 1,000 terms and terminological combinations in the subject Russian Language alone. Thus, taking into account the number of school subjects, the total number of special vocabulary studied in general education schools is measured in thousands. At the same time, the comparative characteristics of the inventory and functioning of terms in textbooks for different school subjects are under-scrutinized and remain unknown. Besides, it is unclear how the terminological density of school textbooks for different subjects correlates with the place occupied by these subjects in the curriculum. The traditional way of compiling lists of special terms is simply to glean them from special texts and write down manually. This method is reliable to gain insights into the best selection practices, however, it cannot be applied to large data sets and does not reflect the term frequency, the specificity of their syntagmatic connections, or the systemic relationship between them. Our project is aimed at filling this gap through: 1) creating a full-text corpus of school textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education for grades 5–11, 2) automatic extraction, stratification, and mapping of terms with the help of distribution semantics algorithms, 3) creation and training of a deep neural network capable of predicting the subject, level of education and educational topic given a group of vector theoretical development of terminology science. They may also find practical application, e. g., in the development of different types of educational literature.

SOME THOUGHTS ON CORPUS AND GENERAL LINGUISTICS

The article is devoted to a discussion of dominant approaches developed within the framework of Corpus Linguistics (CL) and their influence on the general theory of language. Based on the research co-authored with his colleagues, the author describes three approaches to linguistic research in CL. First, corpus-informed analysis assumes that the data collected in the corpus are used as a source of examples in a natural language. Second, corpus-based analysis presupposes that the data are examined not only qualitatively but also quantitatively. Third, corpus-driven analysis assumes that the research task is to create an algorithm for data processing, the results of which require theoretical interpretation or practical application. The article concludes with a discussion of those implications that CL brings into the general understanding of language. The most important of them are: reduction of the role of introspection, increase of attention to peripheral linguistic phenomena, and reliance on quantitative data. It is still too early to sum up the impact of corpus linguistics on the general theory of language, but it is already clear that syntagmatic connections, in particular idiomatization in a broad sense, have moved into the focus of linguistic attention and are recognized as one of the main phenomena of language and its evolution. Moreover, an adequate description of a language is not limited to the rules of interaction of units divided into levels, but the description of all – both individual and the most general – probabilistic parameters of use, representing a single continuum in which the division into language and speech is conventional.
