LEXICAL INTERNATIONALISMS AND THEIR STUDY

Abstract

The article notes that in recent decades, the problem of the ratio of international and national has become of great importance. Modern linguistics is closely engaged in the solution of such problems – the establishment of common, deep phenomena, similarities, universal typological features and special, individual, specific and national. This is all on the condition that linguistics will be able to consider languages in an international context, taking into account the relationship between international and national, which is a manifestation of such categories as general and special. And in relation to different languages and their groupings, this definition of international is associated with the establishment of common features of these languages and inter-linguistic relations. In recent years, internationalization has become one of the main factors in the process of bringing different nationalities closer together. This is influenced by socio-political processes taking place in society. Modern contrastive studies allow to describe the main similarities and some differences among the international vocabulary. It should be noted that in words of related languages, the main meanings coincide, and national features are felt as secondary meanings. The vocabulary of any language is not isolated from other languages. International lexemes occupy a significant place in dictionaries when calculating all common features, although their distribution is uneven.
