A Systemic-Contrastive Analysis of Lexical Nucleology In Russian And English

Аннотация

This article presents a systemic-contrastive analysis of lexical nucleology in Russian and English, focusing on the semantic nucleus — the core, invariant features that constitute the essential meaning of a lexical item. Drawing on structural and cognitive linguistic theories, the study investigates how Russian and English differ in structuring core lexical meanings across fundamental semantic domains such as motion, body parts, color terminology, knowledge, truth, and social relations. The analysis demonstrates that English tends to have semantically broad lexical nuclei, often relying on context for specification, while Russian more frequently encodes specific distinctions at the lexical core.
