EVALUATIVE AMBIVALENCE OF GREEK DIPLOMATIC VOCABULARY WITH POTENTIALLY CONFLICTOGENIC SEMANTICS

Grishin Alexey Yulievich, Filippidou Ilektra

The purpose of this study is to identify the specifics of the implementation of the evaluative ambivalence of the Greek diplomatic vocabulary with potentially conflictogenic semantics in the context of translation into Russian. The main research methods are: comparative-comparative, historical-cultural, typological, discursive and corpus analysis. The empirical material is the corpus of texts in Greek: Εθνικός Θησαυρός Ελληνικής Γλώσσας, Σώμα Ελληνικών Κειμένων, Πύλη για την Ελληνική Γλώσσα, as well as the Corpus of Greek language “Corpus of Modern Greek”, total volume 30-40 million words. As a result of the study, terms with the same descriptive and different connotative meanings were identified, and some Greek terms, which do not carry an evaluative component in their semantics, can often correspond to two Russian terms at once and vice versa.

Keywords:evaluative ambivalence, translation studies, linguoconflictology, axiology, diplomatic vocabulary, conflictogenic semantics, modern greek language.
