The article outlines three lexical-semantic fields of word-formation rows with the suffix -ment. The aim of the paper is to investigate three lexical-semantic fields which consist of the lexical-semantic field denoting improvement, confinement and feelings. To achieve this aim, the following tasks should be completed such as investigating motivation relations in derived words with the suffix -ment and analyzing their structure with the help of the applicative generative model. The methods of componential and comparative analysis and the relator language of the applicative generative model were applied for fulfilling the above-mentioned tasks. To build word-formation rows, the words are segmented according to their motivation relations. Etymological aspect is not taken into account. Every field consists of lexical-semantic groups. The lexical-semantic field denoting the action of improvement consists of fifty-eight words, which are classified into seven lexical-semantic groups. This field is represented by thirteen R-structures. The lexical-semantic field of feelings includes two lexicalsemantic groups which contain six R-structures. The lexical-semantic field of confinement includes twenty-one words represented by six R-structures. Paradigmatic relations in lexical-semantic groups were analyzed in order to illustrate interfiled connections. Synonymic rows and antonymic pairs in lexical-semantic groups and hyperonyms distinguished in lexical-semantic fields prove paradigmatic relations. Lexical-semantic fields consist of nouns because the suffix -ment generates, mainly, nomina actionis. The term word-formation row is described in the paper as this notion which is a complex unit of word-formation hasn’t been studied thoroughly yet. The word-formation row in every lexicalsemantic field is highlighted in the article. The more lexical-semantic groups comprise the lexical-semantic field, the more R-structures the word-formation row has in a lexical-semantic field. Besides, this fact proves that English words with the suffix -ment are polysemous and variable. The polysemy of these words is illustrated via interfiled connections, e.g., the word fulfillment with the meaning “a feeling of satisfaction” belongs to the lexical-semantic field of feelings, and with the meaning “the act of doing smth. that you have promised or intended to do” this word can be involved in the lexical-semantic group of achievement which belongs to the lexical-semantic field of improvement. The relator language of the applicative generative model is used to investigate R-structure of English words with the suffix -ment. This analysis helps to create word-formation rows. R=rows of artificial language and L=rows of natural language are described. The research results lead to the conclusion that three lexical-semantic fields can be characterized by polysemous character of English words with the suffix -ment which are represented by interfiled connections. The variety of R-structures comprising wordformation rows shows the variativity of the investigated words and proves the idea that words may be derived not only from verbs but also nouns and adjectives. Interfield connections in three lexicalsemantic fields demonstrate that all words with the suffix -ment can be grouped into lexical-semantic fields. It can be useful and significant for linguists to create different English dictionaries. So, the aim of the further study is to arrange all existing words with the suffix -ment into lexical-semantic fields and make an attempt to create the dictionary of R-words and L=words with the suffix -ment.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the fact that the development of the corpus has become one of the priorities for all languages of the modern world, the improvement of the national corpus of the Kazakh language (NCKL) is also a very relevant issue. One of the types of linguistic information reflecting the meaning of a word in the NCKL database is lexical-semantic markup. The article examines the world experience of lexical-semantic markup and provides an overview of foreign research. Analyzing the national corpus of the Russian language and the Kalmyk language, the peculiarities of the national corpus of the Kazakh language are noted. The methods of dividing verbs into lexical-semantic groups are indicated, on the basis of which the markup of the corpus is formed, i.e. the definition of codes that reveal the meaning of the word. In the study, lexical-semantic groups were classified according to the method of describing verb meanings and synthesizing based on common meanings, semantic groups of Kazakh verbs were compared with each other and with semantic groups in other languages.As a result of the research, macro- and microgroups characterizing the meaning of the verb were included in the National Corpus of the Kazakh language. In total, 100 lexical-semantic groups have been formed. The lexical-semantic markup of verbs included six different codes. Lexical-semantic markup was attached to 18200 verbs based on the corpus. The compiled lexical-semantic markup expands the information about the word in the National Corpus of the Kazakh language, allows the user to easily determine the meaning of the word, sort verbs with a similar meaning and verbs with a positive, negative connotation of meaning. It can be said that lexical-semantic markup is one of the first steps to facilitate the recognition of the semantics of words of Kazakh artificial intelligence, which is expected to be created in the near future.

The present research paper discusses the issues of identifying common lexical and semantic mistakes in Kazakh pre-intermediate EFL learners studying in homogeneous groups at university. Words are viewed as powerful tools and when used correctly, words may evoke different feelings and emotions and cause various actions. It’s important to learn how to spot difficult words, correct them timely, and master lexical competence teaching to use the words correctly. The data of the study were collected by learner’s EFL teacher from their final essays. Thirty-one essays were used as the instrument of the study to obtain real language from the participants. The authors of the study hope that the results of the conducted research would contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of lexical and semantic errors in English language teaching which will help teachers to elaborate the differentiated tasks and ways of explaining new vocabulary preventing students’ misunderstanding. Furthermore, the results of the presented research can serve as guidance and be used in compiling EFL textbooks for Kazakhstani students. As a result, researchers managed to classify lexical and semantic errors in English language teaching, identified frequent errors, and described their causes. The findings of the research illustrate that the participants of the study make errors of word choice and incorrect collocations the most. Moreover, incorrect usage of the preposition and literal translation from L1 are included in the frequent mistakes

The study presents an analysis of the semantics of German cyberspace nouns, demonstrates a semantic characteristics of German nouns with a word-forming element of English Cyber-, originating from the English language. The data of lexicographical sources related to the mentioned issues are highlighted. The object and the subject of study were described, the aim was stated and the research perspectives were outlined. The research material was a solid sample of nouns with the word-forming element Cyber- from the authoritative interpretive dictionary of the modern German language Duden and the most widely circulated German-language newspapers «Die Welt», «Die Zeit», «Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung» and «Süddeutsche Zeitung». The article represents the filling of the lexical-semantic groups identified during the research. The developed classification of lexical units made it possible to systematize the collected material and represent relationships within groups. It was established that lexical-semantic groups are not equally productive. The isolated groups are heterogeneous in terms of the number of words that they include (lexical-semantic groups have a different number of lexical units), however, they can be considered homogeneous in the nature of the relations between them. A significant part of the analyzed words is not recorded in lexicographical sourses, issues of interpretive parameterization, dictionary codification and standardization still require detailed study. Research perspectives include the study of words that have other foreign language components, which will make it possible to identify their specificity in the German lexicon, trace the dynamics of development, study the word-forming potential, mobility, systematize such vocabulary, etc.

Full textAbstract:
The article is dedicated to the issue of a lexical-semantic field within an author’s literary text. A lexical-semantic field is viewed as a paradigmatic group of lexical units that are united in accordance with their semantic affinity. A lexical-semantic field is explained to possess a hierarchical structure, which allows to ensure a developed semantic picture of a certain conceptual field. Based on the novels of John Maxwell Coetzee, the structure of a lexical-semantic field is outlined. It encompasses semantic concretization of specific areas of an individual author’s linguistic world picture. The first stratum of a lexical semantic field is defined as a lexical semantic microfield that reflects division of a broader conceptual area into narrower related ones. A lexical semantic microfield is, in turn, divided into semantic subclasses, i.e. word groups based on similar semantic and morphologic characteristics. Introduction of semantic subclasses into the structure of a lexical semantic field is encouraged by the need to group lexical units according to part-of-speech criterion and, simultaneously, demonstrate semantic plentifulness of meaning in the individual author’s linguistic world picture. The lower hierarchical stratum is occupied by a lexical semantic group which embodies intralingual relations among lexical meanings. Inclusion of lexical units into a lexical semantic field is possible under the condition of dominant seme component that marks semantic affinity of a word to the relevant outer linguistic reality. Inventorization of suitable lexical units takes place via dictionary definition analysis, since reference to lexicographic definitions allows to create a chain of definitions and reveal pertinent semes in word meanings. One of the lexical semantic fields construed is based on novels by John Maxwell Coetzee is „HUMAN”, reflecting the conceptual field of a human. The abovementioned lexical semantic field is divided into four lexical semantic subfields that together sketch a human through the lens of emotions and feelings, built, mind and thinking, and, eventually, language. The present article focuses on lexical semantic microfield „Human Body”. The paradigm of lexical semantic field structure is represented, semantic range of meaning within the microfield is described, and grouping of lexical units into semantic subclasses and lexical semantic groups based on the analysis of dictionary definitions is performed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the possibility of classifying traditional affixes as two groups, syntactic or lexical affixes, as proposed within Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG). It is argued that the main challenge for the FDG approach to derivational morphology arises from properties which revolve around the semantic contribution of derivational affixes: i) the fact that derivational processes introduce unpredictable meaning components (semantic opacity), ii) the question of what constitutes lexical meaning vs. grammatical meaning, iii) the intrinsic polysemy of some affixes, and iv) affix competition. The authors conclude that FDG should treat lexical and grammatical affixes similarly, unless a clear distinction can be made in particular cases on clearly specified semantic principles.

Full textAbstract:
The object of this study is the "Dictionary of modern children's language" edited by V.K. Kharchenko (4330 vocabulary units). The subject of this study is the units of children's speech (word forms) that coincide in phonetic design with normative ones, but have some deformations of lexical meaning. The research material consists of 167 dictionary entries. The result of the selection of linguistic units are innovations based on the following processes: expansion of meaning, narrowing of meaning, metaphorical transfer, metonymic transfer, antonymic substitutions, mixing of words of one thematic group. It is these innovations that correspond to the parameters set (and fundamental for the practical part of the work), namely: children's occasionalisms that have a deformation in the semantic aspect with full phonetic coincidence with a conventionally fixed word. The following methods were used in the work: analysis, comparison, interpretation of the results obtained. The main methods of analyzing the selected units were: comparison (the word in the occasional meaning of children's speech and the corresponding common word were compared) and seminal analysis (since comparison and description of identifying, differentiating and unifying semes form the basis of certain word connections). The novelty of the research lies in the creation of a classification of units of children's speech with lexical and semantic transformations based on the system connections of words. As a result of the study, the following results were obtained: 36% belong to the group "metaphorical transfer"; 38% belong to the group "thematic groups, synonymic series"; 32% belong to the group "generic relationships"; the rest (antonymic pairs, metonymy and paraphasia) – 6% of the total. The facts of violation of various systemic connections of words allow us to talk about unrealizable in "adult" speech, but potentially possible connections of lexical units. The hidden semantic valences are also evidenced by the bizarre associations that connect seemingly unrelated words in the child's mind. The system-functional approach, a look from the inside, allows us to talk about a different, but completely equal systematization of lexical units in relation to the "traditional" one.

<em>The lexical-semantic system of Ukrainian language is the most complex and dynamic and is updated with new lexemes constantly, so the research of modern vocabulary as component of this system is actual. Lexical-semantic system of language is not just something that exists in the language, but also can be created in the future. The purpose of this article to analyze the modern vocabulary as a common system and characterize the inherent word, paradigmatic, syntagmatic and associative-derivational relations between new words. The lexical and semantic field of neologisms «The flora» consists of lexical and semantic groups such as «Names of trees», «Names of bushes», «Names of herbs», «Names of mushrooms», «Names of plant sets» etc. These groups are combined by common hyperseme ‘plant’. The lexical and semantic groups consists of minimal semantic units that is synonymic rows, antonymic pairs, hyper and hyponymic groups. So modern vocabulary as a system reflects the peculiarities of national language and poetical worldview and constantly develops Ukrainian language in general and its lexical-semantic system in particular.</em>

Full textAbstract:
The recent growing interest in cognitive linguistics, scientific works, monographs and textbooks written in this field are evidence of this. Language levels and trends in their development, structural approach to languages, language and speech issues, functional approach to language units, etc. the problems have begun to be seriously investigated. One such issue is the study of modern cognitive linguistics and lexical-semantic systems. Language is subject to various influences in the process of development. These effects result in changes in different layers of language, including the lexical layer. This process leads to the obsolescence of word meanings in the lexicon, the emergence of new meanings, the expansion of meaning, the narrowing of meaning, the diversification of meaning, and so on. This leads to the fact that the connection between the lexical and semantic meanings of words is also affected; new lexical-semantic word groups appear. The article is rich in quotes from the works of many scholars.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction.&lt;/strong&gt; The development of the semantic level of the language system begins at the end of the first year of life, when a child begins to use the first words. During childhood, the child gradually increases his/her vocabulary and learns semantic characteristics. The main aim of this paper is to determine the lexical-semantic abilities of preschool children.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods.&lt;/strong&gt; The sample included 50 children of both sexes, aged five to six years. According to age, the respondents were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of five-year-olds, and the second of six-year-olds. The Semantic Test and the Free Word Association Test were used in the research. The semantic test assessed the development of the following categories of words: homonyms, antonyms, synonyms, and metonyms. The free word association test was used to assess the types of responses after a given stimulus word.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results.&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that six-year-olds had higher average values compared to five-year-olds on the total score, as well as on individual lexical categories of the Semantic Test. It was also shown that five-year-old girls had higher average values compared to boys of the same age on the Semantic Test. No statistically significant differences were found between five- and six-year-olds in terms of the representation of certain types of answers on the Free Word Association Test. As for sex, it was shown that on the Free Word Association Test, girls had statistically significantly higher number of missing answers compared to boys.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion.&lt;/strong&gt; It was concluded that the lexical-semantic abilities of preschool children depended on their age, and that there was certain regularity in the development of the semantic features of words and the lexical-semantic structure&lt;/p&gt;

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reviews results from recent experimental studies on the acquisition of logical connectives. Developmental psychologists have long been interested in the development of logic in children, and recent research in this field has made great advancement by incorporating insights from theoretical linguistics. There are two important theoretical grounds that were crucial to such advancement. One is dissociation between pragmatic implicature and lexical semantics. The other is a model of semantic interaction between a logical connective and another logical word in the same sentence. Experimental results from recent studies that incorporated these insights strongly suggest that preschool children have sophisticated semantic knowledge of logical connectives, even though their behavior may sometimes deviate from adults’ behavior.

Full textAbstract:
This book is an investigation of Arabic derivational morphology that focuses on the relationship between verb meaning and linguistic form. Beginning with the ground form, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the most common verb patterns of Arabic from a lexical semantic perspective. Peter Glanville explains why verbs with seemingly unrelated meanings share the same phonological shape, and analyses sets of words that contain the same consonantal root to arrive at a common abstraction. He uses both contemporary and historical data to explore the semantics of reflexivity, symmetry, causation, and repetition, and argues that the verb patterns of Arabic that express these phenomena have come about as the result of grammaticalization and analogical processes that are common crosslinguistically. The book adopts an approach to morphology in which rule-based derivation has created word patterns and consonantal roots, with the result that in some derivations roots may be extracted from a source word and plugged in to a pattern. It illustrates the semantic relationship between a source word and its derivative, while also offering evidence to support the view of the consonantal root as a morphological object.

Computational linguistics is the scientific study of language from a computational perspective. It aims is to provide computational models of natural language processing (NLP) and incorporate them into practical applications such as speech synthesis, speech recognition, automatic translation and many others where automatic processing of language is required. The use of good linguistic resources is crucial for the development of computational linguistics systems. Real world applications need resources which systematize the way linguistic information is structured in a certain language. There is a continuous effort to increase the number of linguistic resources available for the linguistic and NLP Community. Most of the existing linguistic resources have been created for English, mainly because most modern approaches to computational lexical semantics emerged in the United States. This situation is changing over time and some of these projects have been subsequently extended to other languages; however, in all cases, much time and effort need to be invested in creating such resources. Because of this, one of the main purposes of this work is to investigate the possibility of extending these resources to other languages such as Spanish. In this work, we introduce some of the most important resources devoted to lexical semantics, such as WordNet or FrameNet, and those focusing on Spanish such as 3LB-LEX or Adesse. Of these, this project focuses on FrameNet. The project aims to document the range of semantic and syntactic combinatory possibilities of words in English. Words are grouped according to the different frames or situations evoked by their meaning. If we focus on a particular topic domain like medicine and we try to describe it in terms of FrameNet, we probably would obtain frames representing it like CURE, formed by words like cure.v, heal.v or palliative.a or MEDICAL CONDITIONS with lexical units such as arthritis.n, asphyxia.n or asthma.n. The purpose of this work is to develop an automatic means of selecting frames from a particular domain and to translate them into Spanish. As we have stated, we will focus on medicine. The selection of the medical frames will be corpus-based, that is, we will extract all the frames that are statistically significant from a representative corpus. We will discuss why using a corpus-based approach is a reliable and unbiased way of dealing with this task. We will present an automatic method for the selection of FrameNet frames and, in order to make sure that the results obtained are coherent, we will contrast them with a previous manual selection or benchmark. Outcomes will be analysed by using the F-score, a measure widely used in this type of applications. We obtained a 0.87 F-score according to our benchmark, which demonstrates the applicability of this type of automatic approaches. The second part of the book is devoted to the translation of this selection into Spanish. The translation will be made using EuroWordNet, a extension of the Princeton WordNet for some European languages. We will explore different ways to link the different units of our medical FrameNet selection to a certain WordNet synset or set of words that have similar meanings. Matching the frame units to a specific synset in EuroWordNet allows us both to translate them into Spanish and to add new terms provided by WordNet into FrameNet. The results show how translation can be done quite accurately (95.6%). We hope this work can add new insight into the field of natural language processing.

Full textAbstract:
Presently, in the development of Ukrainian derivatology, the issue of identifying the typology of word formation, which is based on the functional load of the derivative words, is becoming more and more relevant, and this issue can be solved only within the framework of the approach that has been formed relatively recently. In word formation, it is called base-centred because it focuses on the derivational base as a typologising factor. The aim of the base-centred direction is to describe the derivational potential of different classes of derivational lexemes, to find out the linguistic and extralinguistic factors that determine their word-formation ability. The aim of the study is to identify the structural and semantic typology of the respective nouns, to identify the factors that regulate the derivational power of Ukrainian names of tools, body parts and metals. The main objectives are to analyse the factors that influence the word-formation capacity of derivative nouns; to consider the semantic correlation of derivative nouns with their derivatives; to investigate the ways and means of realising the word-formation meanings of these desubstantives. The object of the study is the pronoun word formation of the modern Ukrainian language. The subject of the study is the linguistic and extra-linguistic factors of the production of lexemes from the names of tools, body parts and metals. The materials of the research can be used in derivatological studies when describing word-formation nests, for characterising the word-formation system of desubstantives in monographic works. The results and materials obtained can be used for compiling morphemic and word-formation dictionaries, as well as in university courses on morphemics and word formation and in relevant textbooks and manuals. The Ukrainian names of tools, body parts and metals are included in the lexical system of the Ukrainian language as certain lexical and semantic groups of words. Considering the semantic characteristics of the studied derivatives, their structural and functional parameters, the dominant factors that influence the word-forming capacity of the studied groups of derivatives are determined. These are the following for derivatives: lexical semantics of derivatives, symbolic meaning, stylistic marking, synonymy, derivativity/non-derivativity, systemic substitution (we are talking about the redundancy of a derivative, provided that a derivative with a different format, but the same meaning or its place in the lexical system of the language is replaced by a jointly functional linguistic unit of a non-word structure). The realisation of the outlined semantics by derivatives derived from the names of tools, body parts and metals is achieved through various means, among which suffixation prevails. Other means of word formation are prefixes, conflations (especially when creating derivatives from somatisms), and the postfix ‘-ся’, which is combined with suffixes or conflations. Compound derivatives are formed by word-, stem-, or word-, stem- with suffixation elements.

The author attempts to show the significance of R. M. Cejtlin’s studies for modern paleoslavistic research. According to the author, the development of R. M. Cejtlin’s “fresh” view on Old Church Slavonic lexicology was facilitated by the peculiarities of her biography: the scientific views of her supervisor, the emergence of the Russian theory of word-formation during this period of time, working together with Czech colleagues on a large array of Old Church Slavonic lexical material. Several of R. M. Cejtlin’s ideas turned out to be fruitful for further paleoslavistic research: the division of Old Slavic vocabulary into groups following certain suffixes, the study of morphemic lexico-semantic groups as lexical microsystems. R. M. Cejtlin’s attention to Old Church Slavonic compounds (complex words) was important for subsequent paleoslavistic studies. R. M. Cejtlin’s various comments and opinions on various paleoslavistic issues are also valuable for development of paleoslavistics.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the lexical associations in the mental lexicon of L3 Italian learners with L1 Turkish background, a topic rarely explored in the literature. Employing a word association task with adjective and noun cues, the study compares the responses of L3 learners to those of L1 Italian speakers. Results reveal distinct patterns: L3 learners tend towards collocational associations with adjective cues, while L1 speakers favour semantic relations. For noun cues, both groups show semantic associations, but L1 speakers demonstrate more nuanced and advanced lexical choices. While interlingual interference from Turkish or English (L2) proved difficult to ascertain with this dataset including a few instances, future research with tailored methodologies could further explore these influences. Additionally, this study tentatively highlights the importance of L1 reference corpora and learner corpora for language teaching materials, emphasizing their role in fostering natural language production and facilitating near-native proficiency in L2 and L3 acquisition.

The research is devoted to investigating the ways of the proficiency effectiveness improvement in Russian as a foreign language. As an important component, that determines a high level of language proficiency, it is proposed to consider the lexical background, that is the complex of non-conceptual parts of the sememe. It is noticed that most of the interest is non-equivalent and background vocabulary. Among the lexical background words, with rich cultural and historical layers, seven thematic groups are distinguished. This is the vocabulary that goes back to the Russian folklore, epic, mythology and to Orthodox Christianity. It is associated with the life of the Russian peasantry, the Russian nobility and, subsequently, the Russian intelligentsia. It names Russian nature phenomena, reflects Soviet ideology, names people in different social and time contexts. The vocabulary describing these spheres of linguistic reality is considered from the point of view of its mastering by a foreign student. It is concluded that the effectiveness of learning words which semantics fits into the mentioned spheres increases by using techniques that reveal the lexical background. The emphasis is concentrated on such techniques as seme analysis, historical and cultural comments, visual demonstration, wordformation and morphemic analysis, the analysis of lexical compatibility of a word, the analysis of the abilities to participate in the phraseological units’ formation, to produce metaphorical meanings, the analysis of the Russian literature contexts basis. Moreover, it makes sense to apply all the techniques in sequence for each word from the semantic layers. This is the only way the semantics will be revealed and a student will gain the skill of using and understanding a specific lexeme. It is noted that nowadays the described language learning approach is relevant not only for foreign students, but also for Russian students.

The article presents a linguistic analysis of the socio-political talk show ‘Time will Tell’. The significance of this work is attributed to the scarcity of similar research and the growing prominence of political talk shows on television over the past year. As material for the analysis, we used the scripts of the broadcasts (which are in the public domain), obtained through automatic transcription of videos from YouTube and after manual editing of these texts, which was necessary due to the disadvantages of the automated process: the lack of punctuation marks and the marking of the replicas belonging to one or another speaker. From the archive of the programme ‘Time will Tell’, we selected 14 days of the year 2022. The main criterion for selection was the number of releases published each day. The typical number is 3 or 2 releases per day, but the programme was released 4 to 6 times over 14 days. In total, 64 hours of the TV programme were processed and scripts were obtained. In the research we used corpus methods as well as quantitative methods of linguistic analysis. As a result, we obtained a general list of words consisting of 242,560 word usages, which were analysed using different text mining methods. The 100 most frequent lexical items were classified into semantic groups and analysed quantitatively. We conducted sentiment analysis and topic modeling of these lemmas. In addition, we identified lexical innovations found in the talk show hosts’ speech, which are not present in the Multimedia subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus, and analysed their bi- and trigrams.

Abstract The lexical words of a language can be grouped into a number of semantic types, each of which has a common meaning component and a typical set of grammatical properties. One of the grammatical properties of a type is its association with a grammatical Word Class, or Part of Speech. (See §1.2.) Chapters 4–6 contain brief sketches of the semantic and syntactic characters of those semantic types which are in English associated with the Verb class. Following chapters discuss the occurrence restrictions on specific syntactic constructions, providing explanations for these that link the meanings of the constructions with the meanings of semantic types. In this chapter, I provide a brief summary of the semantic types associated with the Noun and Adjective classes in English and introduce the division into Primary and Secondary verb types.

Abstract In musical pieces, especially those that tell a story, the musical motif often has a ’meaning’. Thus we find tonal/rhythmic sequences which are regularly associated with a specific character or situation. Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and the operas of Wagner contain many well-known examples: ’the Wolf’, ’Peter’, ’the Grail’, ’the Valkyrie’. Musical motifs are generally assigned a meaning within a particular work, or group of works, by means of repeated association with a theme. This repetition allows a properly conditioned audience (i.e. an experienced audience) to identify and interpret particular musical sequences as signs. The musical motif is a good analogy in discussion of the semantic functions of shape and position. It shows us (1) that a work of art can create its own ’lexical items’, and (2) that it can do so by assigning meaning to formal structure.

Full textAbstract:
Computational linguistics can offer tools for automatic grading of written texts. “Evaluator” is such a tool. It uses FreeLing as a morpho-syntactic analyzer, providing words, lemmas, and part of speech tags for each word in a text. Multi-words can also be identified and their grammar identified. “Evaluator” also manages leveled glossaries, like the one developed by the Instituto Cervantes, as well as other electronically available dictionaries. All these glossaries enable the tool to identify most words in texts, grading them into the six levels scale of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. To assign a lexical level to the text under analysis, a statistical distribution of leveled qualified lemmas is used. Other ways to assign a lexical level to a text by using corpora of a preset level are also suggested. The syntactic analysis is based on a collection of grammar structures leveled by following the descriptors given by the Instituto Cervantes. These grammar structures are identified within the text using quantitative indices which level a text by comparing it with a given corpus. Finally, semantic identification is done using semantic fields as defined by the Instituto Cervantes. Latent Semantic Analysis is also used to group texts dealing with the same topic together. All these methods have been tested and applied to real texts written in Spanish by native speakers and learners.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The functional classification of semantic changes that was presented in the previous chapter contains conflicting principles: as noted, the various realizations of the efficiency principle need not be in harmony with each other. This seems to apply particularly to the relationship between isomorphism as emanating from a structuralist conception of the lexicon, and prototypicality as emanating from a cognitive conception. To begin with, let us note that prototype semantics seems to imply that natural languages have a tendency to enhance the polysemic character of lexical items. At least, this is the case when the prototype-theoretical characteristics of lexical structures are considered at the level of word senses rather than at the referential level-see Section I .2 for the distinction. As a set of closely connected semantic nuances that are grouped together round a prototypical core, prototypical categories exploit their own polysemic potentialities; any nuance that can be incorporated into the category because of its resemblance to the prototype increases the polysemy of the item in question by raising the number of semantic variants grouped together round the prototypical core. That is to say, the flexibility of prototypically organized lexical items is to a large extent a mechanism of polysemization.

Full textAbstract:
During the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, which began in 2022, we are observing dynamic changes in the lexical-semantic system of the Ukrainian language. In response to the attempt to de-Nazify and demilitarize the population of Ukraine, the words associated with the name of Stepan Bandera started being actively used in the language. Firstly, the last name of Stepan Bandera began to be used in various contexts because he is one of the leading ideologues and theoreticians of the Ukrainian nationalist movement of the 20th century. The stereotype of a hostile, negative perception of Stepan Bandera imposed in modern Ukrainian society (we assume that in the world community as well) by Soviet propaganda is undergoing a radical rethinking. The linguistic reflection of such sociodynamics was realised through the search for and active use of nationally connoted vocabulary and the involvement of its bases in semantic and word-formation processes. During the events of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, we trace innovative processes aimed at expanding the compatibility of the adjective Bandera. The renewal and enrichment of its semantic range and stylistic functioning testify to the implementation of nationally and culturally determined motivational models of neosemantisms. We can trace the use of the adjective Bandera with semantic connotations relevant to our time: ‘national’, ‘specific, Ukrainian’, ‘filling with feelings of national dignity’, ‘inspiring decisive action’, ‘Galician, associated with Western Ukraine’, etc. Important linguistic facts of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2022 include the active use of the adjective Bandera to describe Ukrainian dishes, drinks, confectionery, various patriotic groups, place names, etc. In advertising texts, manufacturers often emphasise that the products have nationalist names and are intended to raise the morale of Ukrainians and bring victory closer. The morphemic structure of derivative units based on the noun Bandera is implicitly aimed at awakening and asserting national character, inspiring victory. Therefore, a nest of cognates is formed around this base, the semantic content of which reflects the con- notations of positive evaluation, elevated emotional perception, associative links with the manifestation of patriotism and national pride.

The paper contains the description of a semi-authomatic method for the detection of typologically relevant semantic shifts in the world’s languages. The algorithm extracts colexified pairs of meanings from polysemous words in digitised bilingual dictionaries. A machine learning classifier helps to separate those semantic shifts that are relevant to the lexical typology. Clustering is applied to group similar pairs of meanings into semantic shifts.

Words from such semantic groups as “buildings” (storozhka ‘gatehouse’, chitalka ‘reading room’, etc.), “cereals and porridge” (grechka ‘buckwheat’, manka ‘semolina’, etc.), “diseases” (chesotka ‘scabies’, gorjachka ‘fever’, etc.), “medicines” (zeljonka ‘brilliant green’, kastorka ‘castor oil’, etc.) and “items of clothing” (tolstovka ‘sweatshirt’, dubljonka ‘sheepskin coat’, etc.) are considered. Stylistic marks for these lexical units are compared in academic dictionaries starting with Ushakov Dictionary, and the processes evidenced by these marks are tracked.

Structural analysis of “Not a Wreath of Sonnets” by A. Eremenko allowed the author to discover semantic contradictions between the levels of the text. Thus, at the lexical level, lexically explicit various kinds of gaps, inconsistencies, the absence of external connections in the picture of the universe and the lyrical subject’s relationship with it are observed, which is reflected in the deliberate frequent use of the particle “not”, starting with the title “Not a Wreath of Sonnets,” an emphasized break with the poetic tradition at the level of direct formulations in the first sonnet, Fet: “will leave forever”, in the second sonnet, variations on the theme of a “broken” language / wrong word arise and then repeat, up to its loss and transformation into “barking” (in Sonnet 11). The identified lexical-thematic group of words with the meaning of language, speaking, communication, presented quite widely and diversely, made it possible to interpret communication, the forms of which are revealed in the texts, as disturbed and devoid of understanding. In the world, nothing corresponds to anything and nothing is connected to anything: “wrong”, “not right”, “by chance”, “at random”, “nature does not look at us”, “the pigeon does not depend on the conditions in which it reproduces” giraffe”, “a thought is not equivalent to a word”, etc. At the same time, the analysis of the subjective organization of the text of “Not a Wreath of Sonnets” gives the ground for asserting the presence of a multi-address dialogue of the lyrical subject (me) with various “you” in it.Thus, the article reveals the meaning-forming role of a subject organization, focused on the dialogue, on communication with various “you”, in affirming the continuity/inevitability of communication as a new way of “connectedness” of the world: in the absence of external connections in the usual meaning of closeness, “friendliness”, the subject’s fatality is recorded on different forms of communication with the world and in the world, the fundamental impossibility of being taken out of them, its dialogical appeal to various aspects of existence.

The paper is devoted to the study of the linguistic and cultural representation of ethnic groups in video games, in particular in "Cyberpunk 2077". Factors influencing the manifestation of ethnic characteristics include the genre of the game, its scale, cultural and linguistic discourse and intercultural communication. In the game, the authors focus on the formation of a multiethnic and multicultural picture of the game world. The game is based on the "Cyberpunk 2020" tabletop role-playing game, which provides an extensive artistic and literary base. The developers pay attention to linguistic and cultural representation, striving to create a positive experience for the players. The game features various ethnic groups. The work contains examples from Spanish, Creole Haitian and Japanese. The linguistic (semantic, lexical, morphological) features of the characters’ speech are studied and described. The characteristic cultural and linguistic features demonstrating the ethnic specificity of the game characters are revealed. The analysis of the material shows the desire of the game discourse for artistic realization through the linguistic features of the characters’ speech and their cultural identity.

Th e social world is represented in the fairy tales through the nomination of social functions and statuses of people; their actualization is connected with real and axiological value, as well as with their ethical function. Th e research is done on the basis of novel fairy tales and anecdotes collected in the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine in the 70-90th of the XX century. About 50 lexical units were found that refl ect the nomination of the social status of the characters (family, social, and professional status, economical situation, etc.). Th e units were considered from the point of the social structure of an ethnic community; the classifi cation of social groups and their stratifi cation was done. Th rough the example of some nominations, their semantic and contextual expansion were researched (involving the background cultural information), as well as the connotation of the corresponding nominations (as an axiological element).

Full textAbstract:
This paper is part of a larger study that aims to create the first quantitative grammar of the Russian prepositional system. The present study deals with Russian secondary multiword prepositions. Prepositions are a heterogeneous class consisting of a small group of about 25 primary prepositions and hundreds of secondary ones, the latter being motivated by content words (nouns, adverbs, verbs), which may be combined with primary prepositions to form multiword prepositions (MWPs). A strict division between secondary multiword prepositions and equivalent free word combinations is not specified. This is a task for a special corpus-based research. Prepositions are characterized as function words used to express various relationships between main and dependent members of a phrase. The difficulty is that relations expressed by prepositions are multi-sided, grammatical and lexical. Primary prepositions are said to have no real lexical meaning. It is not quite true as regards primary prepositions and even more so for secondary ones. Prepositions express semantic relations between words, and their meanings directly correspond to these relations. Multiword prepositions perform the grammatical function of a preposition in a certain position of a syntactic structure in some contexts and can be a free combination in others. This paper is devoted to the statistical analysis of the use of multiword prepositions in corpora. The features of multiword prepositions in the function of a preposition are described. Statistical data on the ratio of the use of individual multiword expressions as prepositional units and as free combinations are provided

Full textAbstract:
This research has been conducted in line with the long historical and cultural controversy over the ethnic and national identity of western and eastern civilisations and the ethno-specific perception of falsehood in ancient peoples mentioned in The Histories by Herodotus. Given the breadth and relative objectivity of information on the contacts of the Persian Empire of the Achaemenids with neighbouring nations in the Mediterranean region, Herodotus’ work is a unique resource for study which traditionally belongs to the prerogatives of modern comparative linguoconceptology. Despite the abundance of scholarship on falsehood and deception in Herodotus (Lateiner 1990; Harrison 2004; Mash 2010; Hollmann 2011; Wesselmann 2011), little has paid attention to the communicative entities within different ethnic groups and discursive areas. This study of the Ancient Greeks’ concept of deceit has used traditional semasiological methods in combination with cognitive methods of discourse analysis, metaphorical modelling, and axiological scaling. As a result of the semantic and stylistic analysis of 36 denotations of the concept, represented by cognates of ψευδ-, (á¼Î¾)απατ-, διαβαλ-, δολ-, μηχαν- etc., ‘the core’ and ‘the periphery’ have been singled out. These lexical means have been differentiated according to the frequency of use, variety of derivatives, types of connotative meanings, and discursive functions. Discursive distribution of the lexical items concerned the social sphere in the political, religious, and personal domain. A comparative analysis of deceit in different ethnic communities showed that representatives of the East were inclined to use non-verbal forms of trickery, while Greeks prevailed in verbal deception. Among verbal means, in Herodotus’ view, Asian peoples preferred misinformation – straight untruth through a complete alteration of the reality – while for the Ionians, Athenians, and other Hellenes, verbal tactics appear as more complex and demanding, since their misleading manipulations balanced between truth and untruth, so that they could not have been easily refuted. Quantitative parameters, as well as stylistic sensitivity, of lexical items have revealed these tendencies for the eastern and western oecumenes, with marginal peculiarities for the Trojans and Ionians, which seem to challenge some regional stereotypes concerning deception.

Full textAbstract:
Using theoretical and empirical methods, this paper proves that the modern mediaenvironment is a complex configuration made by the material and the virtual components and is reflected in the language in various ways. Innovative lexis with the component media and its systematization has become the key to understanding the mediareality, in particular, detecting the constituent elements of the structure of the mediatized environment. In total, 455 lexemes chosen from the Ukrainian dictionaries, academic publications, and the results provided by Google search engine have been analyzed. The systematization of the lexical units have been done according to the principle of the lexical and semantic field, and as the result macro-, midi-, and mini-fields have been allocated with the subsequent ranging of the lexis into the core, the centre, and the periphery. Within the macro-field MEDIAENVIRONMENT, the midi-fields have been located – TECHNICAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, and SOCIO-COMMUNICATIVE. The conceptual core of the macro-field MEDIAENVIRONMENT has been shown to form lexemes signifying space specified from the point of view of temporality, structuredness, contextuality, and evaluation. TECHNICAL midi-field is represented by the names of media equipment; TECHNOLOGICAL midi-field – by the names of methods, processes, and ways of using media equipment. The structural and semantic framework of the SOCIO-COMMUNICATIVE concentre is represented by mini-fields: WHO – FOR WHAT PURPOSE – WHAT – CHANNEL – TO WHOM – EFFECTS. The senders of information are shown as social institutions, groups, and individuals. The nominations of the addressee reflect the transformation of the passive information consumer to the user. The informational object has been specified according to its form, meaning, and the virtual «shell». The wide array of names for communication channels shows the link between the social field with the technical and technological ones, with their relative autonomy. The effects of consuming the information are verbalized by a smaller number of lexemes, largely of behavioral and evaluative nature. To sum up, the specified groups of neolexemes with the component media create a qualitative-quantitative hierarchical structure, the most numerous parts of which serve as the indicators of the most media-determined spheres of socioenvironment. Key words: mediaenvironment, structure, verbalization, neolexemes with the component media, lexical-semantical field.
