THE SEMANTIC STRUCTURE OF LEXEMES WITH THE PROTO-SLAVIC ROOT REK- / ROK- IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE 18th CENTURY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the semantic structure of lexemes with the common Proto-Slavic root rek- / rok- in the Russian language of the 18th century. The study of the history of root groups allows us to approach the completion of the main task of the modern historical lexicology - the description of the Russian vocabulary in general as a developing phenomenon, the definition of qualitative (actually semantic) and quantitative changes in the vocabulary of the language throughout its development. On the basis of lexicographical sources, the main semes that form lexico-semantic groups of words with the root of rek- / rok - are singled out.
