ELENA MARKOVA, ALEXANDRA ZAYTSEVA – THE LINGUO-DIDACTIC VALUE OF THE FIGURATIVE BASIS OF THE NOMINATION IN THE SLAVIC AUDIENCE
Abstract: This article considered the inner form of a word in a linguo-didactic function. The aim was to identify the special role of the inner form of words in the related, Slavic, audience. The inner form formed by the feature of the subject is the figurative basis of the nomination. Developing this thesis, the authors prove that the figurative basis of a word not only verbalizes the result of a person's cognitive activity and acts as an explicator of linguocultural information, but also carries out a mnemic connection between the nominee and the nominated object. This helps learners to memorize words when learning a foreign language and when reproducing them during speech. Using the comparative method (the comparison of Russian, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian), as well as methods of seminal, component, word-formation, and etymological analysis, the authors demonstrate the significant linguo-didactic potential of the inner form of lexical units within a Slavic audience. It can be concluded that, from the point of view of Russian native speakers, even non-motivated words are found to be motivated from the point of view of native speakers of other Slavic languages. This is due to the preservation of common Slavic roots within these languages that verbalize the figurative basis.
Keywords: image of the nomination; motivational feature; inner form of the word; linguodidactics; Slavic languages.
