SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS OF THE ELIMINATED LACUNAE
Abstract
DOI 10.18522/1995-0640-2021-4-67-78
Elimination of lacunae is associated with the need to convey semantic content that has not found a single-word expression in the language. But elimination also turns out to be necessary for pragmatic reasons. It is precisely the pragmatic nuances that distinguish the primordial literary words and the borrowings or substandard units replacing them. Taking into account the entire palette of pragmatic meanings allows us to explain the emergence and consolidation of new units in the vocabulary and grammar of the modern Russian language.
Key words: elimination of lacunae, semantics, pragmatic awareness, borrowing, substandard, linguoculture, grammar, creativity
