ABOUT STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION OF THE CONCEPT “MAN” AND THE PROBLEM OF STABILITY OF MASCULINITY CHARACTERISTICS EVALUATION
This article deals with the structural character of “Man” concept organization, which is a part of a hyper concept “Human” represented by a system of three main levels: higher, basic, lower. The suggested organizational structure of “Human” concept enables to build links between all elements of all three levels, thus making possible to evaluate the degree of masculinity presence expressed by the lexical unit used in regard to any male sex subject. We also study the problem of inconsistency of rigid classification of lexical means of expression of masculinity that consists in unstable borders within masculine behaviour scoring system and constant development of society.
Keywords: masculinity, structural organization, concept, hyper concept, hierarchy, problem of evaluation stability
