SEME ANALYSIS OF BIONYMS IN COMPARATIVE ASPECT (based on Russian and Chinese)

Abstract

This article presents some results of experimental researches that are devoted to the issue of emotiveness and also to the relations between the first and the secondary nominations in lexemes. The data were obtained according to the series of psycholinguistic experiments, where Russian and Chinese speakers participated. As for the types of the psycholinguistic experiment in question, the article represents the results of a directed psycholinguistic experiment with the aim to establish the character of semantic relations (hyponymic, hyperonymic, antonymic, phraseological, etc.) between the stimulus and the response; to define semantic volume of the word and also to detect differences of nouns according to their modal category. In this case twenty five zoonimic lexemes served as research material. At the same time, our objective is a more detailed consideration of syntagmatic and paradigmatic types of connection between the stimulus word and the response word, and also the study of the formation of the secondary nomination (metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, etc).
