On the Concepts of Frame and Reframing in the Language System (An Attempt of Contrastive Analysis)

Summary/Abstract: The concepts of frame and reframing became the focus of researchers’ attention in social sciences in the 1970s. Within the context of linguistics, the concept of frame was referred to as a component of the mental lexicon. In this paper an attempt has been made to apply the concepts of frame and reframing to the analysis of the structural and semantic transformations in the language system with reference to the theoretical framework of onomasiology, which was developed in Russian linguistics. The aim of the study was defined as the analysis of the situation in reality, named as “Natural Disaster → Storm”, and its verbalization models in modern Russian and Turkish. Topic-related open access news archives of Russian and Turkish news agencies as well as Russian and Turkish National Corpora were used for defining models in the language pair. Descriptive linguistics and contrastive approach, which seek to describe the differences and similarities between two languages, were used for the model analysis in the framework of this study. Russian and Turkish naming patterns for the frame of “Natural Disaster → Storm” were described and analyzed. Due to the scope of the article, the frame analysis was limited to the categories of “Inception” and “Realization”. Reframing was described through the example of the perspective shift “Storm ↔ Space”.
