The “Cultivated Plants” cluster in the linguistic world image: Russian and Chuvash parallels

Abstract

The article offers a comparative semantic analysis of the cluster “Cultivated Plants” in the Russian and Chuvash linguistic world images. The authors analyze both direct and figurative meanings of the Russian and Chuvash words and set expression, as well as free combinations of words from a given thematic group. Also analyzed are polysemy, metaphors, symbols, connotations of various Russian and Chuvash words, phraseology and set similes in the Russian and Chuvash languages. Special attention is paid to the Russian and Chuvash folklore. The Russian and Chuvash words from any given thematic group are part of the linguistic world images of the Russian and Chuvash ethnic groups alike. The analysis contributes to the reconstruction of the integrated linguistic world image and helps to reveal some peculiarities of the national world perception.
