THE STUDY OF SEMANTIC AND WORD-FORMATIVE PECULIARITIES OF COSMETICS COLORONYMS IN FRENCH AND RUSSIAN
Abstract
The article introduces the definition of a new term, cosmetonymic coloronym. The analysis focuses on the place and function of coloronyms in the word-formation system in the French and Russian languages. A new classification system is elaborated for both languages: it is based on the componential analysis with distinguishing nuclear and differential semes. Until recently coloronyms of the lexico-semantic field ‘‘cosmetonyms’’ were not the core of linguistic research. Thanks to the web-supported data, the similarities and differences in its word formation are explored. A comparative analysis reveals the preponderance of the coloronyms, formed with the help of conversion, in French and Russian word groups from the point of view of semantics, word-formation and syntax. This article can be used in different fields of linguistics: comparative linguistics, word-formation, translation studies, and intercultural communication.
