Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the structure of the English hyperconcept OCCULTISM on the material of explanatory and etymological dictionaries. In this study, an attempt is made to take into account different approaches to structuring the concept, in particular, the linguistic and cultural concept. The following research methods are used in the work: etymological analysis, definition analysis, conceptual analysis. The structure of the English hyperconcept OCCULTISM contains three components: ALCHEMY, MAGIC, ASTROLOGY. The paper analyzes their motivational and conceptual features. We believe that motivational and notional features are primary or basic, other features are secondary and may vary in their number and methods of nomination. The definition analysis showed that the notional features of the concept ALCHEMY are “unscientific, search, transformation, eternal life, universal medicine, mysticism, secrecy, purity of thought, durability, versatility”. The motivational features of the concept ALCHEMY are determined by the etymology of the English lexical unit “alchemy” and are verbalized as follows: “occultism, search, unscientific”. The notional features of the concept MAGIC are “power, supernatural, extraordinary, use of means, influencing or predicting events, hidden, controlling, spiritual, superhuman”. The motivational features of the concept are determined by the etymology of the English lexical unit “magic” and are verbalized as follows: “to be able, have power”. Based on the definition analysis, we conclude that the definitions of these units contain the following significant components: (1) SUBJECT (PHENOMENON), (2) PROPERTY OF THE SUBJECT (PHENOMENON) – power to influence, control, (3) OBJECT – people, events, (4) ATTRIBUTE – spiritual, supernatural, hidden. The notional and motivational features of the concept ASTROLOGY are “foretelling, stars, influence”. The perspective of this study is the analysis of verbalization of the components of the hyperconcept OCCULTISM in English discourse and the identification of their figurative and associative features.
超概念神秘主义的结构(基于英语词典)
本文从释义词典和词源词典的材料出发,分析了英语超概念神秘主义的结构。在这项研究中,试图考虑到不同的方法来构建这个概念,特别是语言和文化概念。本文采用了词源分析、定义分析、概念分析等研究方法。英国超概念神秘学的结构包含三个组成部分:炼金术、魔法、占星术。本文分析了它们的动机特征和概念特征。我们认为,动机和观念特征是首要的或基本的,其他特征是次要的,它们的数量和命名方法可能会有所不同。定义分析表明,炼金术概念的概念特征是“不科学、探索、转化、永生、万能药、神秘、秘密、思想纯洁、持久、通用性”。炼金术概念的动机特征是由英语词汇单位“炼金术”的词源决定的,用语言表达为:“神秘主义、探索、不科学”。MAGIC概念的概念特征是“力量、超自然、非凡、使用手段、影响或预测事件、隐藏、控制、精神、超人”。这个概念的动机特征是由英语词汇单位“magic”的词源决定的,用语言表达如下:“能够,有力量”。基于定义分析,我们得出这些单位的定义包含以下重要组成部分:(1)主体(现象),(2)主体(现象)的属性-影响、控制的力量,(3)对象-人、事件,(4)属性-精神的、超自然的、隐藏的。概念占星术的概念和动机特征是“预言、星象、影响”。本研究的视角是分析英语语篇中超概念神秘主义成分的语言化,并识别它们的比喻和联想特征。
