Semantics of verbs of rotation in a typological perspective Kruglyakova, Victoria Alekseevna. Scientific supervisor of dissertation research

Introduction to the work

The dissertation is a lexico-typological analysis of the semantics of verbs describing movement along a circular trajectory, based on the material of 15 languages: Russian, Polish, Serbian, Spanish, English, Norwegian, Welsh, Tatar, Turkish, Komi-Zyryan, Kalmyk, Agul, Japanese, Chinese , Hindi. Her purpose is a study of the principles of organization of the semantic field of rotation and proof of the systematic nature of vocabulary using the example of the lexical zone of rotation verbs.

The relevance of research

Modern research in the field of typology is focused mainly on phenomena lying on grammatical level language [Khrakovsky 1992, Givn 1990]. This is explained by the fact that vocabulary is traditionally considered to be a less regular zone, for which the construction of systemic classifications is possible only on limited groups (such as, for example, kinship names, cf. [Elmslev 1962]). Unlike grammatical ones, lexical oppositions do not have formal indicators, and the very search for the object of study (components of lexical meaning) is a separate task (see [Plungyan, Rakhilina 2007, Koptjevskaja-Tamm 2009]).

However, interest in the typological study of vocabulary increases every year, cf. for example, a whole series of monographs of the most recent time, edited by John Newman, on verbs of transfer, position and food, or the projects of the group of the Max Planck Institute, see especially Cutting&breaking.

The fact is that linguistics has already accumulated a lot of experience in the comparative study of morphological and syntactic phenomena, which has now become possible to transfer to a new, lexical level. Indeed, lexicographic sources have now significantly improved, making it easier to work on initial stages typological research - however, the most significant step forward was the emergence of electronic text corpora, which provided researchers not only with access to large amounts of data, but also with a variety of opportunities for their analysis. In view of this, today lexical typology has turned out to be one of the most relevant and dynamically developing areas of linguistics, and our work was carried out in line with this direction. In addition, the dissertation fits well into the context of cognitive works - the relevance of which is also beyond doubt - devoted to the study of human mental activity, its connection with linguistic mechanisms and methods of linguistic division of reality [Jackendoff, Landau 1999; Talmi 2000, and many others. etc.].

Novelty of the research

And yet, there are still only a few attempts at a systematic description and comparison of polysemantic vocabulary in different languages, among them verbs of perception ('hear', 'see'), verbs of mental activity ('think'), adjective dimensions ('wide', 'short' ' etc.) . Even in the Moscow semantic school, well known for its lexical-semantic traditions, the main attention is paid to descriptions of individual lexemes (lexicographic portraits), cf. article about verb go out[Apresyan 1990], as well as their particular meanings - in comparison with quasi-synonyms [NOSS].

As for contrastive studies of vocabulary, the practice of which is indeed very widespread - mainly as a comparison with a large and well-documented standard language (English, French, Russian, etc.) or comparison of related languages, cf. articles on the semantic parameters of lexemes of visual perception in English and Yiddish, on the analysis of English and Tuareg proverbs using natural semantic metalanguage, on adjectives of taste in English and French - then, as a rule, they are of a local nature and do not aim to present the analysis of the material so completely and deeply, so that its results are applicable to data from some other languages. An exception in this sense is the work [Rakhilina, Prokofieva 2004], devoted to verbs of rotation. Executed on small material from only two, and also related, languages ​​- Polish and Russian, it nevertheless set a whole program for a new broad lexical-typological study, the implementation of which is actually the present dissertation.

Its novelty is in systematic approach to extensive linguistic material (15 languages), which had never before been studied from a typological perspective, in the development of a unified description plan and a unified format for presenting the obtained data in all languages, and as a consequence - in the comparability of the obtained descriptive results, which made it possible to analyze the supra-linguistic structure of the semantic field of rotation.

The novelty of the study lies in the method used – contextual analysis of lexical units.

Research methods

Since lexical typology is a new, recently emerging direction, its tools have not yet been sufficiently developed, and currently the search for the optimal technique for collecting, processing and presenting material is underway. Among the largest areas in which vocabulary is studied from a typological perspective, one can name the study of lexical units from the point of view of their grammatical behavior, actively developed in Canada by John Newman; psycholinguistic direction with centers in the Dutch city of Nijmegen and the Australian city of Canberra; an extensive tradition of historical and typological research, prominent representatives of which are the center in Tübingen, where Peter Koch works, and, of course, the department at the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (now headed by S.M. Tolstoy), based on the traditions of the Moscow ethnolinguistic school founded by Nikita Ilyich Tolstoy; a statistical area in which the center at Uppsala University, headed by Åke Wiberg, and the lexical-typological center at Voronezh University, headed by A.A., specializes. Kretova.

Lexical typology is a relatively young area, so it is not surprising that many researchers turn to the experience accumulated within the already established tradition of grammatical typology and transfer the tools used in this area to the study of vocabulary. Thus, collective monographs edited by John Newman are widely known, devoted to verbs of transfer, verbs of position and verbs of eating and drinking, the authors of which are trying to demonstrate that basic verbs with simple, in their opinion, meanings can play a significant role in different levels language, and not only function as ordinary lexemes, but also actively participate in the formation of various kinds of constructions. From the point of view of our task, the limitation of this approach lies in the fact that the study of the semantics of individual groups of verbs is understood not as a comprehensive disclosure of their meaning and contextual behavior, but as an explanation of the implementation of formal semantic characteristics (for example, transitivity, stativity) in the functioning of lexemes. Another general obstacle to conducting large-scale typological research based on similar works is the lack of a unified scheme for the analysis of lexemes, according to which the same phenomena would be considered in each language.

Experts from the psycholinguistic center at the Institute are trying to solve this problem in their own way. Max Planck. The psycholinguistic direction within which they work goes back to classical works on the semantics of color terms - first of all, etc., and is based on the use of visual or other sensory images (video clips, smells, tastes) in the process of working with subjects. An example is the project on verbs of destruction, where informants were asked to choose a lexeme that described a video that demonstrates one or another type of cutting or breaking objects. The defect of this method is its fragmentation: only pre-provided and expected parameters are examined, i.e. only those limited situations with a certain set of participants and relationships between them that are already included in the visual series. It is actually closed for new data.

Cliff Goddard and A. Wierzbicka represent a different lexical-typological school and a different methodology. In their research, they rely on introspection - their own intuition and the intuition of expert informants. In this case, the problem of insufficient objectivity and insufficient completeness of data arises due to limited sources.

Reliability and clarity of the analysis of language material can be achieved through the use of methods of quantitative lexicology [Titov 2002, 2004]. They give good results, in particular, when identifying the cores of lexical systems, i.e. meanings that lie at the center of semantic fields and reflect typologically relevant features of lexical-semantic systems; further typological studies of vocabulary should be focused on them. The parametric core of the system is distinguished by four characteristics: functional (usuality), syntagmatic (wide compatibility), epidigmatic (multiple meanings), paradigmatic (inclusion in numerous synonymous series) [Titov, Kretov, Merkulova 2011], which makes it possible to most fully reflect all the features of the functioning of lexemes and guarantees high reliability of the results. The use of quantitative methods is also possible in the study of synonymy [Kretov, Titov 2006], which is especially valuable for our research.

A systematic comparison of vocabulary is also carried out in a broader perspective - in line with modern ethnolinguistic research. This area has been especially developed for Slavic languages, largely thanks to research conducted at the Institute of Slavic Studies, aimed at a comprehensive study of the connections between language and culture, including, in particular, the reconstruction of the linguistic picture of the world. The analysis of semantics is carried out based on the internal form of the word and its motivational connections, which are revealed by comparing the complex of meanings of a lexeme in one language and the set of meanings developing among its cognates in other Slavic languages. Thus, a number of adjectives were analyzed (primarily carative ones - for example, 'dry', 'fresh', 'empty') [Tolstaya 2008a], verbs, for example, associated with funerary vocabulary [Tolstaya 2009], the semantics of the name [Uspensky 2007] , ethical vocabulary [Yakushkina 2003]. The largest projects are the ethnolinguistic dictionary “Slavic Antiquities” [Tolstoy 2008] and the Common Slavic Linguistic Atlas [Vendina 2007]. To solve our problem, this approach is especially valuable, because provides an extensive toolkit regarding polysemantic vocabulary [Tolstaya 2008b].

Our methodology uses all available sources: dictionaries (both bilingual and explanatory), electronic text corpora, surveys of informants using specially designed questionnaires - all these sources serve material of our research, which ensures maximum breadth and at the same time accuracy of the collected data. All these sources, if possible, are involved in describing the compatibility of the verbs of interest to us, and based on the analysis of the resulting contexts, reflecting the linguistic behavior of the lexemes in question, the possibilities of interchanges and prohibitions in them, we reconstruct the semantically relevant features for the selected lexical zone. Here we rely on more than 50 years of experience of the Moscow Semantic School, accumulated in the field of studying quasi-synonyms (see [Apresyan 1974 / 1995, TKS 1985, Apresyan 2007, 2009], etc.). Such a “transfer” of intralingual principles of analysis to typological ones is quite legitimate, because, in a sense, all verbs of the same semantic field, regardless of language, are quasi-synonyms.

Object of study

In our case, the object of study is the field of verbs of rotation, the volume of which, in total for all 15 languages ​​examined, is 80 lexemes: in each language system there are from 3 to 8 units. Such a field is convenient for typological analysis - on the one hand, its structure is quite fractional, unlike, for example, the swimming field, which can be represented by one verb, and a system with more than four verbs is considered rich (cf.). On the other hand, its elements are not so numerous, and in general it is not as complex as, for example, the field of emotional verbs or verbs of pain [Britsyn et al. 2009].

Another advantage of rotation verbs as an object of broad typological research is that they belong to a specific vocabulary, are found in all languages ​​and at the same time do not carry a pronounced cultural specificity, so they are not related to the geographical and climatic features of the area (cf. difficulties here , arising in the typological description of the names of landscape objects in), etc.

For a lexical-typological description of rotation verbs, it is necessary to solve the following tasks:

compile an inventory of cognitively relevant frames, i.e. the simplest situations that can be encoded by individual lexical units;

identify groups of close frames that can be expressed by the same verbal lexeme, and determine the strategies by which they are “glued together”;

determine the general structure of the semantic field of rotation and options for its implementation in specific languages, reflecting them on a semantic map;

compile an inventory of individual semantic parameters that determine the lexicalization of rotation and claim to be included in a kind of “universal lexical set” (by analogy with the universal grammatical set - see [Plungyan 2000]);

reconstruct the system of semantic shifts developing in verbs of rotation;

identify groups of initial uses that give stable results of metaphorical transfers, and determine the semantic parameters “responsible” for the development of each new meaning.

Successful solution of the set tasks allows not only to prove the systematic nature of a given semantic field in natural language, but also to refine new techniques for working with vocabulary and determine the range of theoretical issues available for consideration within the framework of lexical typology as a whole - this is theoretical significance submitted dissertation.

Her practical significance is determined by the completeness of the lexicographic description of the rotation field for several languages ​​at once. Such a result will be in demand both in dictionary practice and in the practice of technical and literary translation, as well as in pedagogical practice - in particular, when drawing up educational and methodological manuals in lexicology.

Do you have some knowledge of Russian but want to hone your skills and speak like a ‘real Russian’? If so, faculty members and instructors of the HSE School of Linguistics have worked together to create a free online resource just for you. As You Say (‘If You Say So’), which will launch April 4, is a virtual textbook and workbook built around video clips that feature HSE faculty and students.

Now the project’s lectures in Moscow museums will be combined into thematic cycles and will be held not only on Thursdays, but also on other days. The first cycle, dedicated to life in Russia in the 19th century, starts today at the house-museum “Estate of the Muravyov-Apostles”, and in a week at the Museum of Cosmonautics, HSE teachers will begin talking about space technologies.

To narrow down the search results, you can refine your query by specifying the fields to search for. The list of fields is presented above. For example:

You can search in several fields at the same time:

Logical operators

The default operator is AND.
Operator AND means that the document must match all elements in the group:

research development

Operator OR means that the document must match one of the values ​​in the group:

study OR development

Operator NOT excludes documents containing this element:

study NOT development

Search type

When writing a query, you can specify the method in which the phrase will be searched. Four methods are supported: search taking into account morphology, without morphology, prefix search, phrase search.
By default, the search is performed taking into account morphology.
To search without morphology, just put a “dollar” sign in front of the words in the phrase:

$ study $ development

To search for a prefix, you need to put an asterisk after the query:

study *

To search for a phrase, you need to enclose the query in double quotes:

" research and development "

Search by synonyms

To include synonyms of a word in the search results, you need to put a hash " # " before a word or before an expression in parentheses.
When applied to one word, up to three synonyms will be found for it.
When applied to a parenthetical expression, a synonym will be added to each word if one is found.
Not compatible with morphology-free search, prefix search, or phrase search.

# study

Grouping

In order to group search phrases you need to use brackets. This allows you to control the Boolean logic of the request.
For example, you need to make a request: find documents whose author is Ivanov or Petrov, and the title contains the words research or development:

Approximate word search

For an approximate search you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a word from a phrase. For example:

bromine ~

When searching, words such as "bromine", "rum", "industrial", etc. will be found.
You can additionally specify the maximum number of possible edits: 0, 1 or 2. For example:

bromine ~1

By default, 2 edits are allowed.

Proximity criterion

To search by proximity criterion, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of the phrase. For example, to find documents with the words research and development within 2 words, use the following query:

" research development "~2

Relevance of expressions

To change the relevance of individual expressions in the search, use the " sign ^ " at the end of the expression, followed by the level of relevance of this expression in relation to the others.
The higher the level, the more relevant the expression is.
For example, in this expression the word "research" is four times more relevant than the word "development":

study ^4 development

By default, the level is 1. Valid values ​​are a positive real number.

Search within an interval

To indicate the interval in which the value of a field should be located, you should indicate the boundary values ​​in parentheses, separated by the operator TO.
Lexicographic sorting will be performed.

Such a query will return results with an author starting from Ivanov and ending with Petrov, but Ivanov and Petrov will not be included in the result.
To include a value in a range, use square brackets. To exclude a value, use curly braces.
