TERMINOLOGICAL MICROSYSTEM OF THE SEMANTIC SPACE OF SUBSTANDARD LEXICAL UNITS: ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE «STRANGER» IMAGE IN CRIMINAL JARGON

Abstract

The active development of substandard lexicography, which began at the end of the twentieth century, led to an increase in the number of studies aimed at describing and systematizing substandard lexemes, as well as representing images in the substandard linguistic picture of the world in differently structured languages. A significant part of the research has been conducted and is still being conducted on the basis of the Russian language, one of the most ancient, the vernacular vocabulary of which has more than a thousand years of history. Note, however, that the history of the lexicographic presentation of colloquial lexemes is not so long and on Russian-speaking soil has only about three hundred years. It is the reason for the active scientific search of researchers of the Russian vernacular language, especially in terms of the description of vocabulary, representing the figurative component in the Russian substandard linguistic picture of the world. The description of the semantic space of substandard lexical units deserves special attention. The present study describes the terminological microsystem of the semantic space of substandard lexemes, representing the image of "Stranger" in the Russian substandard linguistic picture of the world.
