A CONTRASTIVE INTERPRETATION OF NUCLEOLOGICAL SEMANTICS IN A MULTILINGUAL CONTEXT

Abstract

This article provides a contrastive examination of nucleological semantics across Russian and English, emphasizing how each language’s morphological and syntactic frameworks shape conceptual “core” elements such as cognition, essence, and internal states. The study combines large-scale corpus analyses, morphosyntactic comparisons, and psycholinguistic validation to illustrate both universal semantic kernels and language-specific expansions. Russian is shown to rely heavily on derivational morphology to convey nuanced sub-meanings, whereas English typically employs syntactic and phrasal strategies to achieve comparable interpretive depth. The findings underscore how morphological exuberance, cultural idioms, and analytic structures interact in configuring the conceptual landscape, ultimately suggesting that future inquiries should incorporate additional languages, advanced computational modeling, and broader sociocultural parameters to refine our understanding of nucleological semantics.
