NATIONAL-CULTURAL SINGULARITY OF FUNCTIONING OF LEXICAL UNITS, EXPRESSING THE IMAGE OF AGGRESSOR IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND THE BRITISH ENGLISH
Abstract
The article considers the meaning of the word “aggressor” in the Russian language and the British English. Currently the language is studied extensively in connection with the culture of its speakers, which enables researchers to identify culturally-caused components of words as single units of language, which represent the evaluative attitude of native speakers to the subject denoted by the word and distinguish it from the corresponding equivalent in other languages. The author focuses on the results of the linguistic experiment of the analyzed word, which was conducted among the Russian and British informants.
