THE CONCEPT OF DISEASE IN UKRAINIAN, AND FRENCH LANGUAGES: ETHNOLINGUISTIC APPROACH

Abstract

The article is devoted to the comprehensive review of the concept of DISEASE, as one of the most global concepts. It was studied in various linguistic and culturological spheres (semiotics, cognitive linguistics, lexicology, terminology, cultural studies, religious studies, lexical semantics). In contrast to the mentioned directions, the chosen ethnolinguistic approach draws attention primarily to the reflection of the ethnic specificity in the language. This brings forth the consideration of the chosen concept taking into account onomasiological and semasiological approaches to the study of linguistic signs. The comprehensive study of the ethno-linguistic concept of DISEASE on the basis of non-related languagesis not presented in the modern scientific paradigm of general linguistics. Therefore, the necessity of analyzing the lingvocultural concept of DISEASE in the anthropocentrism paradigm, taking into account the latest achievements of ethnolinguistics, as well as the necessity to determine the place of this concept in the world-pictures of Ukrainian, English and French, determine the relevance of our research. In particular, the ways of metaphorization and conceptualization of the concept of DISEASE in the English, French, Ukrainian languages are insufficiently studied, both on the basis of vocabulary definitions and folklore and text expressions. The study of the concept of DISEASE will help to deepen our knowledge of the concept of DISEASE, clarify or review the widespread notions about the principles of its functioning, metaphorization and structural organization, and to define the universal features of its ethnocultural coding.
