PROTOTIPSKE ODREDBE KATEGORIZOVANJA NA PRIMERU PRIDEVA ČIST I NJEGOVIH KONTEKSTUALNIH SINONIMA
PROTOTYPICAL DESIGNATIONS OF CATEGORIZATION AND CONTEXTUAL SYNONYMS IN THE ADJECTIVE ČIST (PURE)

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the prototypical designation of categorization, in which a protype approach refers to particular way of trying to answer the following questions: whether X is anything but Y; whether X is absolutely Y; whether X is the most convenient way Y. An analysis was conducted on the example of the adjective čist (pure) as one type of designation in the micro and macro contexts in descriptive dictionaries of the Serbian language and the electronic Corpus of Contemporary Serbian Language. The main aim is to identify the semantic classification of determined nouns according to basic semantic properties [+/- animacy] and [+/- concrete]. Furthermore, in the case of abstract nouns, this prototypical designation is a valuable tool to see if some properties of nouns are intensified. Since the topic of this article is mainly the semantics of abstract nouns combined with the adjective čist, the study is based on conceptual and collocational methods. In addition, the focus of the paper is also the phenomenon of unequal effect, which means that such designations may have different contextual realisations when combined with different nouns.
