COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SEMANTIC CONTENT OF THE CONCEPTS "CHELOVEK" ("MAN") AND "L’UDI" ("MEN") AND THEIR OBJECTIFICATION IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE (ACCORDING TO LEXICOGRAPHIC SOURCES)
The paper is devoted to the comparative study of the conceptual content and semantic scope of the linguistic and cultural concepts of «CHELOVEK» («MAN») and «L’UDI» («MEN») in modern Russian. The purpose of this work is to identify and compare the cognitive features of these concepts for further verification and refinement at the next stages of analysis. The research material is the data of the main Russian explanatory dictionaries. The method of complex linguocognitive description of concepts adopted in the Nizhny Novgorod school of conceptual analysis is used. It is shown that the cognitive features of the concepts «CHELOVEK» («MAN») and «L’UDI» («MEN») have both intersections and significant differences, which allows us to talk about them not just as two grammatical forms of the same word man within a single concept of «CHELOVEK» («MAN»), but as two different concepts with different semantic content and semantic volume.
