VERB REPRESENTATION OF THE SEMANTIC FIELD "DECEPTION"IN FRENCH AND RUSSIAN (COMPARATIVE ASPECT)

Abstract

Aim. To define common and specific features in the structure of the lexico-semantic group of verbs of deceptive behavior in French and Russian, as well as to identify semantic and combinative features of some units. Methodology. A large corpus of dictionary entries and language examples has been studied in order to compile an inventory of verbs with the meaning of "deception" in both languages. Using the component analysis and field method, the identified units have been split into subgroups. An in-depth comparative analysis of the semantics and syntagmatic features of verbs related to the core and center of the field has been carried out with component, distributive and contextual methods. Results. Several types of verbs of deception in the studied languages have been identified. The constituents of the field are structured according to the criterion of the presence or absence of additional meanings in their semantics. Similarities and differences have been found in the structure of the studied group, as well as in the semantics and compatibility of the studied lexemes in the compared languages. Research implications. The presented material will contribute to the development of the study of lexicology, semantics and comparative typology.
