“PERSON THAT LAUGHS”: REPRESENTATION OF THE NOTIONS IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze the representation of the pattern of a “laughing” person, exemplified in the meanings of the words that belong to the synonymic group with a dominant member of a joker. The study was conducted within the framework of the integral description of the language, with the usage of the methods of semasiological and discursive analysis. It is noted that the results of semantic studies of the Russian scientists, which are becoming increasingly popular in the Chinese linguistics, can be embodied into the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language to the future Chinese teachers and interpreters of the Russian language.
