Linguocultural Factors that Influence Enantiosemy Development

This article investigates the linguocultural factors that condition and sustain enantiosemy in typologically distinct languages representing fundamentally different cultural worldviews. The analysis shows that enantiosemy is especially likely to emerge where lexical meanings are repeatedly reinterpreted within culturally salient practices, moral worldviews, institutional discourse, and variable speech communities. The article argues that enantiosemy should be understood not as accidental contradiction, but as a regular outcome of historically situated and culturally mediated meaning development.
