Abstract
The article presents the attempt to analyze the actualization of dictionary definitions of the lexeme family during XVIII–XXІ centuries in the British media discourse. The transformation of the language picture of the world is examined in the context of the analysis of modifications of semantic structure of the lexeme family using British newspaper publications of the last four centuries regarding the results of the analysis of lexicographic definitions. Printed mass media have always been an important and influential part of social life. They take part in the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions as people receive a lot of knowledge about the world indirectly through mass media. These facts contribute to the analysis on linguocultural element of words both synchronically and diachronically. Comparing newspaper texts it becomes possible to highlight similarities and differences in the interpretation of the notion expressed by some lexeme. The semantic structure of the word is considered through the tight connection with the hierarchy of ideas in the mental world model. The modifications of the lexeme structural components, the loss of the existing and the acquirement of new meanings and their shades are bound with both the language development and with the extralinguistic factors such as the development of the community, social, political and historical events. Moreover, the analysis of articles indicates social “about the author” understanding of the notion. Since newspapers are affordable and available for all members of the society, they are the representatives of a live language which unites knowledge and experience.
