Semantic diffusion in language and in text (part I)

100%
EN
The semantic diffusion is defined as non determining of the content of linguistic signs (the morphemes, words, word groups, sentences, texts), the indistinct character of borders between semantic categories in the system of language as well as in the linguistic communication. Semantic diffusion is a multiaspectual phenomenon, characteristic both for language, as and for parole. In the first part of article the author discusses the semantic diffusion in system of language, and namely in range of the derivation affixes, and also in range of the referential and signification meaning of the words.

Semantic diffusion in language and in text (part II)

100%
EN
The problems of the semantic diffusion in linguistic communication are discussed in the second part of the article, namely on the levels of lexical, sentence and text semantics. The author considers the indefinite character of the metaphorical expressions and because of this introduces a notion 'parasemy'. Phenomenon, which R. Dirven qualified as 'the minimal specification view', was examined in two aspects: 1) sentence semantics and 2) inference understood as a factor of the semantic interpretation of the expressions of this type. In aspect of semantics of the text the author considers two kinds of diffusion - leaning on poetics of the modernism and on poetics of the postmodernism.

The ignorance mentioned in the title is a reference to U. Weinreich. Asked to characterize the current situation in structural semantics, he once had the courage to give the title 'The State of our Ignorance' to his lecture on the subject. Today, fifty years later, we can no longer ignore the danger posed by the idea of an unlimited and context-dependent semantic structure of words and by the rejection of the dichotomy between pragmatics and semantics. By uncritically adopting the ever more prevalent categories of cognitive semantics, 'the new paradigm' in linguistics, which promotes the conceptual and subject-oriented nature of meaning, we risk losing sight of 'langue' in semantic studies, which is tantamount to giving up the discipline's identity in favor of epistemology. The final conclusion of the paper, therefore, is that the future of semantics understood as a 'quest for meaning', the future of lexicology and lexicography, depends on the linguists' continuing awareness of the distinctions between language and mind, and consequently, of the distinctions between linguistics and cognitive science.
