COMPARISON OF THE LEXEMES “ODNOVREMENNO” AND “EDINOVREMENNO” IN THE ASPECT OF SYNCHRONY AND DIACHRONY

Abstract

The article is devoted to lexemes “odnovremenno” and “edinovremenno”, which are considered as synonymous adverbial units. The paper examines the main meanings of these lexemes in a synchronic and diachronic context by analyzing interpretations from lexicographic sources and language samples from the National Corpus of the Russian Language (NKRR). Based on the assessment of the use of these lexemes, the authors discover three main meanings of the lexeme “edinovremenno”, and record changes in the frequency of its use in the meaning of a synonym at the “odnovremenno”, starting from the second half of the 20th century. Also, in the course of the study, an analysis of examples from the NKRJ with lexemes at “srazu” and “odin raz” as defining a lexeme at a time is carried out, as a result of which the authors conclude that these lexemes denote phenomena of different order and cannot always act as synonyms at the “edinovremenno”.
