Cognitive-semantic characteristics of neologization in modern English meteorological discourse

https://doi.org/10.25587/SVFU.2022.87.22.004

Abstract

Understanding the structural and semantic features of neologisms, as well as the cognitive mechanisms that determine the processes of neonomination in meteorological discourse is very important for the study of neologization processes in meteorological discourse. Thus, the purpose of this article is to identify and analyze neolexemes as a result of cognitive knowledge and understanding of meteorological reality by an individual taking into account structural linguistic means. The tasks set to achieve this goal are reduced to the selection of neologisms by a continuous sampling method and their classification into several groups, based on their belonging to various spheres that are associated with meteorological and climatic conditions or affect it on a global scale. Using the method of linguistic observation and description, as well as the method of component analysis, allows to perform another task - to identify certain semantic and cognitive characteristics of each group. The actual material chosen for the study was new words and phrases that have appeared in the English meteorological discourse in recent decades. The volume of the article does not allow to cite the entire volume of the collected material (more than 100 units), so the author chose 30 of the most interesting examples. Publications covering the changing state of the meteorological reality on specialized websites (WeatherOnline, MetOffice, WMO, Global Climate Observing System), news sites (BBC, Express, Reuters) and in the Economist were taken as sources. Data from dictionaries of neologisms (Cambridge Dictionary: New Words, Merriam-Webster Word Central, Oxford English Dictionary: New Words) were also used in the selection and analysis of the factual material. The relevance of this study lies both in the importance of studying the mechanisms of the emergence of new lexical units reflecting changing meteorological processes, and in the increased interest not only of experts and specialists in the seriousness of the emerging meteorological situation, leading to a new interpretation of ideas about the human impact on climate change and their role in overcoming the consequences and solving climate problems. The conclusions drawn on the basis of the conducted analysis indicate the structural and cognitive factors of the neologization that ensure the development of reality and the updating of the linguistic picture of the world due to the new words in the meteorological discourse.
