The Reflection of Behavioural World Image in Verbal Lexis of Structurally Different Languages
The purpose of the article is to show how the lexis of the language reveals the behavioural prohibitions, norms and imperatives existing in this linguistic community. The verbs of the behaviour of three languages (Russian, Tatar and English) with the common seme “to behave” containing a negative evaluation were chosen as material for the work. The method of component analysis and the comparative method were used as the main research methods. The results of the study show that the cultural information about the norms and prohibitions of behaviour which contain in the semantics of verbal units construct to some extent a fragment of the behavioural world image. Such information is vital for effective cross-cultural communication.
