A MODEL OF THE LINGUOCULTURAL FIELD BASED ON THE CONSTANT “GUEST”
Abstract
The article proposes a multilevel model of the linguocultural field based on the constant “guest” and substantiates the methodological grounds for its structural organization. The constant “guest” is treated as a culturally significant semantic core that organizes the linguocultural field and is represented by a set of word-formation, lexico-semantic, and pragmatic means. The aim of the study is to develop and methodologically justify the structure of this linguocultural field on the basis of a comparative analysis of scholarly publications in which the linguocultural field is interpreted as an analytical construct and its composition and principles of systematizing linguistic units are described. The literature presents different approaches to describing the linguocultural field, which differ in the type of the basic analytical unit (linguocultural unit/concept) and in the principle of organization (a field of linguocultural units; a core–periphery model; a single-level lexico-semantic description). It is established that the model of the linguocultural field, based on the constant “guest,” comprising the core, the word-formation and semantic level, the peripheral level, and the linguocultural-pragmatic level, provides a structured description of the systemic relations among units that represent the culturally significant content of the constant. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the methodological substantiation of a multilevel model of the linguocultural field, grounded in the constant “guest,” drawing on a selected corpus of research approaches.
