ON THE SPECIFICS OF THE PRESENCE OF THE LEXEMES "SOBSTVENNOST" / "PROPERTY" IN THE TEXT CORPORA OF ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES
Abstract
It is known that the national corpus of the Russian language, as well as the British national corpus, represent a unified,philologically competent array of linguistic data in a real context, which allows solving various linguistic problems. Thepurpose of this article is a comparative study of the functioning of the lexemes "sobstvennost" / "property" in speech situationsof the Russian and English languages. The article determines the frequency of use of these lexemes and their equivalents, thefunctioning of synonymy, and touches on the role in terminological and commonly used contexts. The analysis demonstratesthat in order to build the correct correlation of information fields reflecting the problems of property in Russian and English,one should proceed from an expansive interpretation of the lexemes "sobstvennost" / "property", enriching them withadditional lexemes. English is more adapted to the display of nuances of the phenomena of material life, whereas in Russian itis sufficient to use a more general concept to describe the same phenomenon in different contexts.
