The Semantics of Chinese Numeral “Two” Character (in Comparative Aspect with Russian Lexemes “Two” and “Even”)

Jia Qian
Price: 50 руб.
 Numerals, as the essential means for expressing the linguistic category of quantity, function not only to reflect singularity/multiplicity of the realities of the world but also serve to reveal the worldview based on the concept of numerals. This paper focuses on the detailed analysis of the semantics of the Chinese numeral character “two”, its semantic overlapping or partial matching with the Russian lexemes “two” and “couple”. The rationale of the research lies in the fact that the semantics of the Chinese numerals
remains insufficiently studied. Approach by which the semantics of the Chinese numeral “two” is analyzed in relation with the Russian lexemes “two” and “couple” permits to identify specifics of cognitive process associated with numeral “two” in the worldview of both languages.
Keywords: the semantics of numerals, language worldview, semantic volume.
