ON THE NATURE OF THE SYSTEM-STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION OF SEMANTIC FIELDS OF LACUNAE IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

As you know, words do not live in isolation, but enter into certain relationships with each other, which clarify the function and meaning of these words. Ferdinand de Saussure defines these relations as paradigmatic (associative) and syntagmatic. Paradigmatic connections combine words by proximity of meaning into so-called lexico-semantic groups or semantic fields. Syntagmatic connections in the language are manifested in a combination of words. V.G.Gak believes that the reflection of an element of a situation in terms of content forms a semanth – the core of the meaning of a word, the reflection of an aspect -a semantic category, the reflection of a distinctive feature – a semantic component or feature (semu).
