Ethnocultural Collocations in the Context of Combinatorial Linguistics

摘要

The article is devoted to ethnocultural collocations - one of the types of collocations considered in combinatorial linguistics, which studies the syntagmatic connections of lexical units and their combinatorial potential. Ethnocultural collocations are combinatorially conditioned combinations of words reflecting socially significant realities for a certain ethnic group, in other words containing national-cultural specificity, which impedes their understanding by representatives of other linguocultures. The features of these lexical units are their non-equivalence, combinatorial and complex character, stability, regular recurrence in context, and uniqueness for a certain language community. The ethnocultural conditionality of word meanings most clearly characterizes the collocability in terms of the influence of non-linguistic factors on it - historical processes, culture, view of the world and way of life of one or another ethnic group.
