Лингвистические маркеры идеологии родства и концептуализации власти в истории русской культуры

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to study the language-systemic means of embodying the idea of kinship and power in ancient Eastern Slavic culture and the reconstruction of its conceptual base. Research into the dynamics of semantic and nominative space in the history of Russian culture allowed for the extraction of applicable/inapplicable, evaluative, and semantic density of the following concept in a historical perspective. The ideological potential of kinship in current Russian discourse on international relations, where the module of kinship (brotherhood) of Eastern Slavic peoples is used as a frequent metaphorical model, forms semantic continuity of the axiocategory of kinship in Russian linguaculture. Its relevance is supported by language facts such as: the dense nominative field of kinship; frequency of lexemes related to kinship retains high scores as shown by the Russian National Corpus; analysis of parallel corpuses of Eastern Slavic languages confirms the semantic continuity of the idea of kinship. Additional evidence from parallel corpuses will allow for the confirmation or rejection of the idea of linguospecificity of the nominative field of kinship in modern Slavic linguacultures.
