Linguistic Representation of a Fragment of the Phraseosemantic Field "Human Appearance" in the Thematic-Ideographic Dictionary of Phraseological Units of the Modern Yakut Language

Creating an ideographic dictionary of phraseological units of the Yakut language is relevant since currently there are virtually no works in Yakut phraseology devoted to anthropocentric issues. Scientists also point to the fact that at the present stage of the development of linguistics, the issues of semantic relations that link phraseological units in the language system are not sufficiently studied. Within the framework of the research project “Inventory and systematization of the lexical and phraseological corpus of the Yakut language”, the manuscript “Thematic and ideographic phraseological dictionary of the Yakut language” is being prepared, an ideographic scheme is being compiled and trial dictionary entries are being written. Man as a conceptual sphere consists of 3 blocks: A. I. Man as a living being; A. II. The inner world of man; A. III. Man as a doer. In the A. I. block “Man as a living being”, the phraseosemantic field “the appearance of a person” is highlighted. The article aims to identify and describe the phraseological units of the phraseosemantic field that characterize a person’s appearance. The goal of the study has determined the solution of the following tasks: to select from lexicographic sources the Yakut phraseological units of the phraseosemantic field “human appearance”, structure them according to the ideographic principle, and systematize them on semantic grounds; to determine semantic relations connecting these linguistic units. The ideographic scheme is constructed according to the anthropocentric type in an inductive way, since the actual material is fairly consistently reflected in conceptual groups, i.e., the structuring of reality by a native speaker is taken into account. Next, we turn to linguistic methods. Based on the definitional and component types of analysis, a microfield was identified: the human body’s volume, followed by a breakdown into groups: human height and the level of malnutrition (overweight/underweight). The linguistic representation of the fragment of the phraseosemantic field “the appearance of a person” will help to recreate and complement the image of a person in the phraseological picture of the Yakut world. The results of the study may also be relevant for compiling a “Thematic-ideographic phraseological dictionary of the Yakut language”. The next stage of the work is to compile classification schemes of other characteristics in the phraseological nomination of a person’s appearance.
