BASIC CONCEPTS OF SUB-STANDARD NOMINATION IN PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGES
Abstract
The article offers the authors’ view on basic concepts of Russian and English professional languages of aviation and forestry. We use the method of semantic fields to define the culturally significant concepts and to reveal the number of words and collocations as well as the structure of nuclear and peripheral thematic groups in the professional languages studied. The words and collocations are grouped around a common archiseme in their meanings, which is viewed as the centre of the field. The research shows that the professional languages of aviation and forestry contain words and collocations that manifest three basic concepts correlated with three semantic fields: Artifact, Activity, Person. The hierarchy of the most significant concepts is similar: for both the Russian-speaking and the English-speaking professional language personality, professional artifacts, not colleagues are of greater importance. Objects and phenomena of nature are also on the periphery of professional nomination. The specificity of each of the professional languages is manifested in methods of nominating separate referents. A high degree of isomorphism is revealed in the degree of emotivity and evaluativity in the semantics of the studied words and collocations: disphemization of professional nomination is achieved due to the presence of coarse, derogatory or ironic semes.
