РОЛЬ КОНОТАТИВНО-АСОЦІАТИВНИХ РИС НАЙМЕНУВАНЬ ВОГНЮ У ФРАЗЕОЛОГІЧНОМУ КОНТЕКСТІ (2023)

Abstract

In our article we consider the problem of semantic development of substantives of thermal semantics of Eng. fire, Germ. Feuer and Ukr. вогонь in the inner-phraseological context, and we also find out how the meanings acquired by the corresponding lexemes in the intra-phraseological context, as well as the semantic structure of the idioms, where these lexemes are included in one or another of their dictionary meanings, allow us to determine the peculiarities of the features of a certain concept, implemented on the lexical-phraseological levels. In our article, we found out the “hidden” features of the conceptual content of these “fire” lexemes, which are absent in traditional dictionary definitions, as they belong to the connotative-associative periphery of their significant meaning. We also determined how semantic derivation, in particular in the intra-phraseological context, brings these “hidden” features to the primary stage, since it is on them the secondary, derived variants of the meaning of the corresponding words are based. For our research we used as the main, descriptive and comparative methods which were implemented in specific research methods and procedures, such as structural and semantic analysis of the inner form of idioms, method of dictionary definitions, method of internal and external translation and the method of phraseological application to establish phraseological derivative meanings as well as the method of establishing the content of language stereotypes (according to E.Bartminskyi). Occasionally, the historical and etymological methods were used, as well as methods of frame modeling and quantitative estimation. As a result of the analysis of phrases with key lexemes of thermal semantics of Eng. fire, Germ. Feuer and Ukr. вогонь, we must mention that the linguistic image of fire, which we find in the analyzed units of the lexical-phraseological system, will not be completely “coherent”, that is, agreed in its semantic details, but, on the contrary, to a certain extent heterogeneous and contradictory, which, in the end, is explicitly emphasized in the content of some of these units, also reflected in contradictory phraseological-semantic variants of lexemes denoting fire.
