Russian Vocabulary of Experience: Motives of Movement
The results of the research of one of the segments of the lexical-semantic field “Experience” are presented in the article. The article is devoted to lexical representatives of the metaphor of the movement. The specific attention is devoted to dialect facts: to go through mountains and burrows, to pass Moscow and Ladoga, the Volga goes a long time, to know the way to Kama. Onomasiological approach is used. Motivational analysis proves the activity of motives of movement in a given array of words and phraseological units. The basis for the motives underlying the metaphor of the movement is given in the article. The author proves that the diversity of the intersected space is the most important part of this way of conceptualizing the exposition of experience. It is shown that for native Russian speakers, the main feature of experience is not the volume and depth of knowledge, but the heterogeneity and the number of cognised objects.
