ANALYSIS OF ORDINARY METALANGUAGE REFLEXION BY MEANS OF METHODOLOGICAL COMBINATION (ON THE MATERIAL OF THE DIALECTAL SPEECH OF THE GERMANS IN SIBERIA)
The work is carried out at the junction of Russian dialectology of German and “naïve” linguistics. The relevance of the research is dictated, on the one hand, by the anthropocentric paradigm of modern linguistic science and the need to study the processes of everyday interpretation of language, on the other hand, by the insufficiently developed lexico-semantic aspect of the native language of Russian Germans. The authors of the article carry out the modeling of the lexico-semantic field, the constituent elements of which are German dialect words with the common seme “to talk” registered in the metalanguage function. The work is carried out on the basis of the principle of methodological pluralism, which implies the use of a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of language study. At the stage of gathering the material and in its primary analysis, qualitative methods were used. The direct construction of the field presupposed the quantification of obtained data with the use of qualitative methods. The field is formed by twenty-one verbal lexical-semantic variants that, depending on the actualization frequency in the assembled corpus of data, occupy positions in the nuclear, base, and peripheral layer of the designed model. The work shows the notions of the language, which are explicated by dialect speakers using the considered lexico-semantic variants and also describes the features of the functioning of these units of the lexico-semantic system in the structure of the metalanguage utterance. In addition, the lexico-semantic variants are compared with the equivalents of the systems of German variants that are common in modern German-speaking countries, which makes it possible to crystallize the uniqueness of the vocabulary of the German dialects of Siberia united by the common seme “to talk”. The results of the study presented in the article contribute to the corpus of studies devoted to the functioning of ordinary metalanguage consciousness and also supplement scientific information on the systemic arrangement of territorial forms of German language that have existed for a long time apart from the language metropolis.
