Abstract
The purpose of the article is to present complex linguoculturological description of language embodiment of antinomy «grekh» («sin») — «dobrodetel» («virtue») in modern Russian. The subject of this study is the conceptual field «grekh» in Russian national conceptual sphere. The objective of this study is the conceptual bond «grekh» («sin») — «dobrodetel» («virtue») and its language objectification in Russian. The material of this study is Russian National Corpus. In the article specificity of semantic connections and correlations in the elementary stable quasi-antonymic conceptual bond «grekh — dobrodetel» is examined as important component of the total conceptual field «grekh». This conceptual bond is analyzed in the aspect of desacralization which is interpreted as stylistic decrease of words expressed primordially high spiritual, religious and moral values: these phenomena reflect one general trend to decrease of value level of «high terms» while their transition from religious communicative medium into secular one. The concept «dobrodetel», as opposed to the concept «grekh», is connected with such cognitive characteristics as high morality, moral purity, moral mode of life, behavior based on yearning for good etc. The finding of research is the following: the quasi-antonymic conceptual bond «grekh — dobrodetel» is included in Russian national conceptual sphere as stable cognitive model regularly reproduced in texts of Russian culture and in speech practice of Russian native speakers, it being known that it is significant both in religious and in non-religious, secular strata of Russian national culture. The practical value of the research is conditioned by possibility to use its results for teaching Russian as foreign language as well as by improvement and development of methodology and technology of field analysis of Russian national culture concepts.
