On the linguocultural specificity of Russian nominal derivatives with the formant -ushk/-yushk and their equivalents in German: A cognitive discursive analysis
Abstract
This article presents the results of a comparative typological study of the ethnocultural specificity of the Russian and German word-forming units in the light of the cognitive-discourse paradigm in current linguistic research. Based on the analysis of the word-formation model with the formant -usk/-yushk, namely, the derivatives with the formants -usk/-yushk in Russian and their translated equivalents in German, the study reveals the cognitive-mental nature of the actualization of the functional-semantic potential of derivatives with the formant -usk /-yushk in different types of Russian-language discourse in conceptualization of the external and internal world of native speakers and the resulting features of these units translated into German. The word-formation formant -ushk- / -yushk- is productive in relation to lexical units, whose denotative meaning is concepts in the Russian picture of the world. Functioning as important concepts of Russian linguoculture, neutral substantives fate, field, mother, will, etc. are actualized in the language in the form of derivatives with the formant -ushk- / -yushk-. The word-formation model with -usk/-yushk is productive in relation to Russian proper names or vocatives. The largest number of examples with proper names is found in the NKRYA, these proper names represent ethnocultural specifics and are used by native speakers of the Russian language in various types of discourse.
