METONYMICAL RELATIONS IN SEMANTEMES OF NON-DERIVATE FAUNA NAMES

Abstract

The thesis finds out the typology of metonymical interverbal relations of non-derivate fauna lexemes by the way of outputting their thematic models. Metonymy is the type of semantic changes and polysemy that traces names on contiguity relations basics in space and time of the reality. It is represented by certain types of mostly repeated semantic relations on the basics of which it is possible to get the general formulas (models) of metonymical relations of lexical-semantic variants in the structure of polysemes. In semantems of non-derivate polysemic fauna names there are 15 metonymical models: «an animal → its meat as food», «an animal → its fur (wool)», «an animal → a male or a female of this animal», «an animal → a decoration of its feather», «animal fur → clothes made from it», «an animal → a building for its feeding , «animal fur (wool) → cloth made from it», «a coloring which is contained in an animal body →a painting made with the help of this coloring», «coloring which is contained in an animal body → a photograph tinted by this coloring», etc. Only two of the thematic models – «an animal → its meat as food», «an animal → its fur (wool)» – are defined by high productivity (obviously, it is connected with those functions which animals usually perform in human life – is the source of getting food and fur/wool). Most of the models have very low productivity. In this way, there is only one lexical-semantic variant for each of 7-15 thematic models. However the regularity and productivity of some metonymical models indicate frequency of implicational relations between semes of polysemas which belong to thematic sphere called «fauna names» in human realization.
