LEXICAL SEMANTIC FIELD “GESTICULATION” IN THE ENGLISH EXPLANATORY DICTIONARIES
Journal Title: Записки з романо-германської філології - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the study of the lexical semantic field “gesticulation” in the explanatory dictionaries of the English language. The article deals with semiotic aspect of correlation of verbal and paraverbal codes in human communication. Verbalization of a kineme has been studied. Kineme is treated as a proto-sign, which semantic structure comprises three obligatory semantic knots, i. e. “what is moving”, “how it is moving”, “what for it is moving”. Lexicographically registered verbal kinemes constitute language lexico-semantic field “gesticulation”. Nuclear-peripheral structure of the field in the language subordinates to the semantic principle of hyper-hyponymical relations among its constituents.
