Základní lexikální jednotky konceptu „pracovní činnost“ v ruštině v komparaci s češtinou
Basic Lexical Units of Semantic Concept 'Work Activity' in Russian in Comparison with Czech

Summary/Abstract: The differences in cognitive perception of the concept ‘work activity’ in both languages influenced the onomastic mechanism of designation of work. The paper deals with the semantics of Russian lexical units ‘work’ (дело) within the concept ‘work activity’ in comparison with Czech. The selected lexeme is language-specific in Russian. The presented research focuses on one of the possibilities of signification ‘work activity’. The exact definition of the lexical meaning of the selected lexeme is questionable in Russian; therefore the proper use of the expression is for a non-native speaker very difficult. The amount of expressions, in which the lexical unit work (дело) acquires other meanings, is worth further exploration in terms of conceptualizing the work process within the Russian language picture of the world.
