ASSOCIATIVE AND VERBAL FIELD "WORK" IN THE MENTAL LEXICON OF NATIVE RUSSIAN SPEAKERS
Using the material of the "Russian associative dictionary", "Siberian associative dictionary" and experimental data, the authors develop a model of an associative-verbal field WORK in the mental lexicon of native Russian speakers. Thematic clustering of reactions was based on the word work lexicographic definition. The authors conducted a diachronic analysis of the associative and verbal field, which allowed identifying some significant structural, semantic and functional changes over the past 25 years. The results of the associative experiment conducted in 2021 have shown that there can be distinguished core features in the concept WORK which are actualized in the mental lexicon of native Russian speakers to different extents depending on the social dimensions, namely the residence of respondents.
