Language: RussianThis monograph deals with various aspects of reflection in Russian language of realities which are outside the language. Part one, Referential Mechanisms of Language, describes mechanisms of language references to events and facts of non-language nature. Part two, The Russian Language Model of the World, was previously published as a paperback book. This work analyzes the key ideas of the Russian linguistic model of the world, that is the most common ideas of world structure. In particular, the author studies the semantics of Russian words from this model that are hard to translate, such as: prostor, popreknut`, vdrug, zaodno, etc. Based on these and other words from this set, Shmelev defines the structure of man, time, space, basic values, and other components of existential philosophy in the Russian language. Bibliography. Lexical index. Aleksei Shmelev (b. 1957), professor of Russian language, is the author of several books including Introduction to Russian Aspectology (2000) with A. Zalizniak which is also available.
