Language Objectification of the Conceptual Field “Grekh” (“Sin”) in the Models of Russian Non-Usual Word-Formation
Abstract
The article analyzes the reflexes of desacralization of the conceptual field “Grekh” (Sin) in models of occasional derivation based on the lexemes of grekh (sin), pokaianie (repentance), dobrodetel (virtue), and iskuplenie (redemption) , which are manifested in modern Russian speech. The material for the study is the data of Internet communication. The theoretical basis of the work is the principles of the study of language conceptualization of the world. We used the method of structural-semantic analysis of units of the word-formation system of a language and the method of linguo-culturological interpretation of active processes in the Russian language of the latest period. The phenomena of occasional nominal prefixation (prefixes super-, hyper-, mega-, archi-, ultra-, pseudo-, quasi -) and prefixoidization (prefixoids semi-, mini-, kino, tele-, photo-, auto- ) which includes lexemes grekh (sin,) pokaianie (repentance), dobrodetel (virtue), and iskuplenie (redemption) are described. It is shown that these phenomena actualize two types of semantic and stylistic transformations in discourse: (1) non-usual expansion of the semantic volume ( telegrekh (tele-sin), photodobrodetel (photo-virtue), autopokayanie (auto-repentance), kinoiskuplenie (kino-redemption) ); (2) connotative-evaluative and emotionally-expressive increments of meaning ( mini-grekh (mini-sin), pseudo-pokayanie (pseudo-repentance), super-dobrodetel (super-virtue), mega-iscuplenie (mega-redemption) ). It is concluded that the reception of the conceptual field “Grekh” (Sin) in modern Russian Internet communication is characterized by a certain elimination of the religious-Christian content of this conceptual field, characterized by an unserious, lightweight, playful and ironically reduced attitude to sin.
