SURFACE PROPERTIES AS ISSUE FOR LEXICAL TYPOLOGY: AREAS AND PROSPECTS OF RESEARCH (DATA OF SOME URALIC LANGUAGES)

Kashkin Egor Vladimirovich

Information About Author:

This paper focuses on adjectives describing texture and topological properties of surfaces (e. g., “smooth”, “fl at”, “coarse”, etc.) in three Uralic languages – Erzya, Udmurt, and Estonian. I analyze the distinctive semantic parameters and the main types of metaphorical uses. Areas of further typological research into this lexical group are outlined – both within the Uralic family and in a broader typological prospect.

Keywords: semantics, lexical typology, surface properties, Uralic languages
