Formation and functioning of the subject field of lexicon relating to “aristocracy of great britain”
Keywords:
aristocracy, lexical units, a lexical-semantic field, a nuclear, a peripheral structureAbstract
The comprehensive study of words as the basic unit of the language system is an important task of linguistics. The article deals with a formation and functioning of the lexicon relating to the lexical semantic field "Aristocracy of Great Britain". The research is guided by definitional, etymological and synonymic analyses of the concept "aristocracy". The lingvocultural analysis plays a major role, during which such methods as lingvocultural semantization and "detailed explanations" were used. Four micro fields are identified in the specified lexical semantic field holding different positions in the structure of the kernel such as "persons belonging to the aristocracy"; "personal privileges of aristocrats"; "high social rank"; "form of government". It is given justification of their thematic orientation and the model of a nuclear where micro fields show a different number of members and a non-uniform shape in the structure of the nucleus. As the result, a peripheral structure of the lexical semantic field "Aristocracy of Great Britain" and its peripheral zones are offered.
