ArticleName: Realization of the sign ‘motley’ in Mongolian names of insects and plants (on the basis of roots with the consonant [r]) Authors: Ekaterina V. Sundueva East-Siberian State Academy of Culture and Art In the section Linguistics
Abstract: In the context of phonosemantics the paper examines the names of some insects and plants of Mongolian languages, which appeared as a result of the verbalization of visual perception. The au-thor shows that the trilled resonant [r] reflects the idea of motley, tremulous, glimpsing multitude. As a rule, it leads to inner discomfort. Keywords: phonosemantics, mongolian languages, root morpheme, trilled resonant, visual perception, image, mentality, cognition Bibliography: |
