LEXICOGRAPHIC PECULIARITIES OF RUSSIAN ZOOSEMISMS AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THE CHINESE LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the lexicographic peculiarities of Russian zoosemisms against the background of the Chinese language. The material is based on the content of two explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language: “Russian Semantic Dictionary”, “Dictionary of Offensive Words” by L.V. Dulichenko and two explanatory dictionaries of the Chinese language: “Large Dictionary of the Chinese Language”, “Modern Dictionary of the Chinese Language”. The purpose of the article is to identify the peculiarities of Russian zoosemisms based on the characteristic feature, assessment and stylistic coloring against the background of the Chinese language. At the same time, the author considers the connections of lexicology with associations of different cultures. The article concludes that Russian zoosemism is not characterized to the transfer of the cultural component through a description of the political state. Differences in biological sex, characteristic of motivating their zoonyms, in Russian zoosemisms can be transformed into different characterizing values. This feature is not peculiar to the Chinese language. At the same time, zoosemism with a negative rating occupy a significant place in Russian lexicography. Zoosemisms in the dictionaries of Russian language are accompanied by a variety of stylistic labels.
