Kopytina A. Linguocognitive and sociolingual parameters of the lexical- semantic field "space" (in English, Russian, Ukrainian and French)

The thesis aims at a complex analysis of the linguocognitive and sociolinguistic features of the lexical-semantic field "space" creation, filling and modification. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the lexical-semantic field "space" and a comparative analysis of lexical- semantic fields "проcтір", "пространство", "space", "espace" was held. A structural representation of the set of lexemes-representatives of LSF "проcтір", "пространство", "space", "espace" is constructed. For the first time, a five-level structure of LSF "space" was proposed as a fixer of historical meanings, actual meanings and hypothetical images of the concept. The dynamics of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of LSF "space", "space", "space", "espace" is analyzed. For the first time, the associative field of stimuli e-space and cyberspace in the Ukrainian-language logosphere has been established. New is the fixation of the change in the associative level of LSF "простір" caused by the influence of information development.
