Oguj O. Some Systematic-Quantitative Aspects of Polysemy in German (Synchrony, Diachrony and Panchrony)

The main purpose of the theses was the holistic investigation of polysemy as unity of formal and some notional sides of a language sign in the process of communication in synchrony, diachrony and panchrony of German within language, speech and communication. On the basis of the descriptional method with elements of component-distributional, quantitative-approximative method and historic-comparative method with elements of typological one it was proved that the invariants of polysemy are organized as a net in synchrony; the flow of depolysemizational processes is shaping the lexico-semantic system of polysemants in diachrony; the invariants are regular ones in panchrony and polysemy is specifically represented in lexicography. The results achieved have been introduced into investigational, teaching and lexicographical practice.
