      RUSSIAN ANTONYMY AND ITS LEXICOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION

      Antonyms, or words with opposite meanings, became the subject linguistic analysis relatively recently, and interest in the study of Russian antonymy is growing noticeably. This is evidenced by the emergence of a number of special linguistic studies on antonymy 2 and dictionaries of antonyms 3 .

      The dictionary of antonyms occupies an important place among other dictionaries: it gives a description of vocabulary from the point of view of the semantic opposition of its units. The need to select words with opposite meanings, to find a figurative opposition, to “grab” the polar manifestations of one or another quality, attribute, property often arises among people of the most various specialties, from everyone who is interested in language and especially associated with it by their profession, i.e. philologists, Russian language teachers, translators, writers, journalists.

      Lexical units vocabulary languages ​​turn out to be closely related not only on the basis of their associative connection by similarity or contiguity as lexical-semantic variants polysemantic word (nose\"olfactory organ" = "=* "osg "front part of a boat, ship, airplane" *=fc nose 3"bird's beak" +* hoc a"front end of shoe"; clippings"action on a verb cut" ** cut 2"a cut piece of text from a newspaper or magazine" ^=fc tenderloin^"premium grade meat, fillet, semantic content similarity as synonyms (attraction, gravitation, craving, inclination, passion), mutual “reciprocity” when designating the same action or relationship as conversion (The student takes the exam to the professor-e- The professor takes the student's exam; Alexey- Marina's brother-«*- Marina- Alexei's sister), genus-species relations as hyponyms (the science - physics, chemistry, biology, political economy, philology...; day - morning afternoon Evening Night), but also based on them opposites as antonyms: high- short, handsome- ugly, cultured- uncultured, revolutionary- counter-revolutionary, love- hate, hope- despair, enter- go out, brighten up- get dark, start- cum often- rarely, maybe- it is forbidden.

      1 From Greek. anti - against and onyma - name.

      ■ Antonymy is based on association by contrast, reflecting significant differences in objects, phenomena, actions, qualities and characteristics that are homogeneous in nature. Antonymy is one of the most important linguistic universals, one of the essential dimensions of the lexical-semantic system of various languages.

      In the semantic field, i.e. in an ordered set linguistic units, united by a common (invariant) meaning, antonyms are closely interconnected not only with each other (cf. full - thin) t but also with other categories of lexical units: synonyms (full- fat, plump, fat, thin- bony, skinny), lexical conversions (She's fatter than him-*> He's thinner than her) lexical-semantic variants of the word (full^"fat" - cf. full\"containing something to its limits, replaced entirely" (Full jug of water), full"entirely imbued with something" (Eyes, full of life), full^"whole, complete, exhaustive" (Complete collection essays. Full list present), full^"reached the limit, the highest" (In full bloom. Complete freedom); they can also enter into homonymous relationships (skinny 1"skinny"- skinny 2"bad" - skinny 3"holey, damaged^ and some others. The semantic field is the most complete And adequate reflection lexical system language, those various connections of words that exist V linguistic consciousness of people 4.

      Varied semantic relations antonyms with other categories of words, and primarily with synonyms, indicate the close connection of the dictionary of antonyms with other dictionaries, and primarily with synonymous ones. Such dictionaries complement each other when revealing complex And a complete picture of synonymous-antonymic interaction of lexical units. Therefore, it is no coincidence that antonymy finds additional reflection in dictionaries of synonyms, and synonymy - V antonym dictionaries. In the academic “Dictionary of Synonyms of the Russian Language” (L., 1970-1971. Vol. 1-2), many dictionary entries indicate antonyms corresponding to synonyms or even whole series of antonyms: cheerful, cheerful, cheerful, cheerful(antonyms: sad, melancholy, gloomy, gloomy, dull, sad),include, introduce, pour in(antonym: exclude),turn on, connect, connect(antonym: turn off),together, jointly, jointly, at the same time, together(antonym: apart),tall, tall, towering, long, lanky(antonyms: low, short, not tall, undersized, undersized, undersized, short, stubby),tall, thin, squeaky, squeaky(antonyms: low, thick, bassy, ​​bassy) etc. On the other hand, on the contrary, dictionaries of antonyms provide synonymous means of expressing one or another opposite: important- unimportant(synonyms: significant- insignificant, important- insignificant, important- insignificant, significant- unimportant),import - export(synonym: import Export),defend yourself- attack (synonyms: defend-- attack, fight back- attack),reality- unreality(synonyms: reality- fantasy, reality- fantasy, true story- fable, true story- fable, true story- fairy tale, incident- unprecedented), revolutionary- counter-revolutionary(synonym: red- white),connect - disconnect(synonyms: unite- to separate, to unite- divide, bind- disconnect),ripe - unripe(synonym: mature- green) etc. (examples are taken from this dictionary).

      4 On the nature and structure of the semantic field, see: Karaulov Yu. N., General and Russian ideography. M., 1976.


      It is also no coincidence that many dictionaries of English, French, German and other languages ​​are called this: dictionary of synonyms and antonyms. Most Full description synonymy and antonymy c. their relation to other lexical-semantic categories x is able to give ideographic dictionary- a thesaurus in which “words-concepts” (lexical-semantic variants of a word) are arranged not alphabetically, but according to semantic fields, “meanings”. Together with other units of similar meaning, synonyms and antonyms are grouped around such “meanings* 4 as language means their expressions 5.

      The above, of course, does not mean that the dictionary of antonyms has no independent value. It reflects and describes one of the most essential characteristics of the vocabulary of a language - the systematization of words from the point of view of their mutual opposition, promotes an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the semantic contrast of linguistic units, and introduces a rich arsenal of figurative and stylistic functions of antonyms.

      It can be said without any exaggeration that opposition as a concept ("naive" or strictly scientific) is one of the characteristic manifestations of the natural inclination of the human mind and underlies various ideas in everyday life, scientific knowledge, philosophical constructs, ethics, aesthetics, religion.

      It is important to emphasize that the feeling and perception of the opposite can to a certain extent depend on the age, profession of people, geographical, climatic, social and other conditions of their life and sometimes be quite subjective. Interesting Facts I. Gritskat cites different perceptions of opposites in his article 6 . Thus, in children aged three to four years, words form a kind of opposite uncle And aunt, hand And leg, in older adults, “irrefutable” opposites are basement And attic, sun And rain. For a person accustomed to mixed geographical relief, the most natural opposition mountain- plain, but for a mountaineer who has never seen the plains, the opposite turns out to be mountain And basin(or valley). Farmers will apparently have the opposite words arable land And meadow, sowing And harvest, astronomers - Sun And planets. It can be assumed, not without reason, that in relation to words whole, whole the glass cutter will count opposite word broken, tailor - ripped open or torn, other masters - broken, fragmented, shattered, and the artist, photographer and architect - fragmentary. An experimental study of antonymy, along with a large coincidence in the perception of the opposite of words by subjects, also reveals individual characteristics her awareness.

      Of course, antonymy as a phenomenon of language must be “cleansed** of private, local, highly specialized and accidental “stratifications.” It must be defined as the most significant and characteristic of all native speakers, the maximum opposition of words, enshrined in the norms of literary usage.
