The core and periphery of the lexical-semantic fields «қуан, freuen (sich)– ызалан, entrüsten (sich )» in the Kazakh and German languages

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of lexical- semantic fields in the Kazakh and
German languages. The study of language vocabulary in different lexical- semantic fields allows us to
identify similarities and differences between them. Fields are system formations, within which there are
relations and connections, fields have their own specific features. The field is characterized by a special
structure: the core of the field and the periphery are highlighted. All units of a language can be represented
as a hierarchy of lexical and semantic fields. The field is characterized by the maximum concentration of
field-forming features in the core and an incomplete set of these features with a possible weakening of
their intensity at the periphery. The core of the field is formed by a unit that expresses the dominant value.
There have been used the descriptive method and componential analysis method in this article. There have
been analyzed the main lexical and semantic groups of the lexical - semantic fields with the meaning ‘қуан,freuen (sich) -ызалан, entrüsten (sich)’ on the material of the Kazakh and German languages.
