Diversity of forming religious meanings through intraword hyponymic relations

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the specifi cs of the formation of religious meanings with the help of the intraword hyponymic (genus-species) relations. It was revealedt hat in semantic structures of lexemes, this type of semantic derivation is capable of activelydeploying stable specialized religious(specifi c, hyponymic) meanings from commonly used(generic, hypernymic) ones. It was also found that in times of Christianization, the fi xationof hyponyms often led to the disappearance of hypernyms. The process of transferringreligious hyponyms without hypernyms from other languages into the Old Kyiv languagewas quite active. Forming a paradigm through hyponymic relations refl ects a variety ofchanges in the represented reality associated with the linguistically conservative religioussphere of Ukrainians: the names remained unchanged, while language objects, acquiringnew functions, changed, and the speakers’ knowledge of the objects deepened.
