Journal Title: Львівський філологічний часопис - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
The author gives the semantic analysis of the real culture code dominated by the principles of anthropocentrism, community- centeredness and onomasiological basis selectivity. The material used for the study are the dictionaries of idioms, thesaurus, proverbs and sayings collections as well as Russian and English enigmatic folklore discourse. Accjrding to the analysis material objects and realities, agrarian tools, artifacts have different phrases generating semiotic productivity, they are characterized by a vivid national-cultural verbalization specificity. The comparative-typological perspective of the research for such interlingual cultural-semiotic parallels sheds some light on the phraseological units structurally-semantic modeling methodology (V. Mokienko, Y. Pradid, A. Ivchenko, V. Polishchuk, V. Koval and others) in the center of which lies a different symbolic function of material culture premets, synonymous variation and economic and everyday realities typology. This approach enabled us to find out the agricultural realities semantic dynamics directions (soil tillage, harvesting and finished products processing – harrow, hoe, plow, mattock, mill, sieve), the specifics of their figurative characterological nomination, symbolic function, assessment and pragmatics in related and non-related lingual cultures, available ritual, mythological and cultural stereotypes, magical representations, prohibitions, etc. The ethnographers and cultural anthropology representatives thesis (A. Toporkova, A Bayburina, L. Niderla, S. Tolstoy) as to the dual semantic nature of the ritual symbol and its mediality, which, on the one hand, is turned to man and his domestic needs, social values (anthropo- and poetotsentrizm), and on the other hand, ia related to “the things cultural technology and associated with it industrial and ritual practice”. Thus, the agrarian realities semantics and symbols transformation into frames has been clarified “to do unnecessary work that does not bring any benefit or profit, to waste time, “do a bad job” and so on.
