FURNITURE VOCABULARY FOR INDICATING THE PARITY IN THE LIVING PREMISE INTERIOR

Abstract

The article examines the modern vocabulary for designating the furniture names of the living premises, the semantics of which reflects the idea of parity, which is one of the artistic methods of designing modern interiors, an integral part of the style of environment design. The purpose of the article is to investigate furniture lexemes, the structure of which reflects the sign of parity. Achieving the specified goal involves solving specific tasks: determine the linguistic means of implementing the design principle of parity in the names of furniture and accessories; find out the main methods of implementing a contrasting approach to the nomination of home interior items; determine the sources of formation and replenishment of this vocabulary group. For the analysis were used such methods as: the descriptive-analytical method, the method of classification and generalization; techniques of interpretation and comparative analysis of linguistic material; structural and semantic analysis. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time a linguistic analysis of furniture names was carried out, during which not only the lexical-semantic features of these names were clarified, but attention was directed to the explication of design ideas names and artistic techniques names using actual material, which has not yet been the subject of research. Conclusions. The analyzed material gives reason to claim that in the furniture vocabulary, the design idea of the pairing of objects is reflected in quite a variety of ways: paired objects – paired names – which indicates a person’s desire to aesthetically organize the subject environment, create a certain impression, harmonize reality with the help of interior items. Explication of the idea of parity is implemented by lexical concretizers in the structure of compound names or single-word names that contrast in meaning. The most complete pairing in furniture names is updated with nomen to indicate size and color. Names whose semantics reflect quantity, style and fashion, spatial features, texture features, temporal features and other associative features have a smaller quantitative indicator. The perspective of further scientific research can be considered the study of the semantic features of furniture names in the linguistic and cultural aspect.
