MEANING GRADATIONS IN A SYNONYMIC GROUP OF WORDS "UNRELIABLE INFORMATION"

Abstract

The article is devoted to complicated synonymous relations within the group of words «unreliable infor-mation». The dominant of a synonymic row is lexeme «gossip». In the course of comparing the dictionary definitions and the contexts actualizing the lexemes of the above mentioned group, the semantic volume of units is specified, which makes it possible to disclose features of human speech activity, since the volume of fixed units in the dictionary and contexts is different. Studies in the ield of lexical-semantic par- adigmatics are relevant because they allow us to see the interconnection and the mutual determination of lexical units, and, more broadly, to correctly interpret the semantic space that they create.The analysis of semantic relations is carried out on the materials of XIX century Russian literature and National Corpus of the Russian Language.
