THE CORPUS-BASED MEANING DIFFERENTIATION OF THE ADJECTIVE PUBLIC

Abstract

In this paper we will present elements of corpus-based cognitive-semantic analysis of the adjectival lexeme public in English. The primary goal of this paper is to detail the conditions of actualizing components of the lexical meaning of the referred adjective as a polуsemantic unit. It is proved that all the revealed components are rooted in the structure of the lexical meaning of the adjective public. The results of the exploration stress that their actualization depends primarily on the lexeme combinability with the noun as the head word of the NP, second, on the major Lexical-Semantic Field of the discourse, third, on the register type of discourse, and on the discourse authors intention, i.e. his/her attitude to the subject or object of utterance.
