TWO SIDES OF PHYTONIMS’ SEMANTICS IN RUSSIAN, ENGLISH AND CZECH
Phytonims of Russian, English and Czech are examined in motivological and comparative aspect in order to define specific character of two sides of their semantics. The object of the research is an inside word form of metaphor character. Motivological level of language research is a favourable ground for analysis of national specific of language because the nature of motivated word itself is mainly connected with language conscience of speakers. Names of plants are directly connected with object and cognitive speakers’ activity and also with social and cultural originality of language community’s life and its ethnographic peculiarities. The idea of different ways of environment’s representation by means of two-sided semantics of lexical units in language consciousness is the thesis of the article. If the Russian language consciousness is anthropocentric, then The English one and the Czech are anthropometrical.
Keywords: inside word form, phytonim, semantics, metaphorical inside word form, comparative analysis
