Semantic-Functional Features of Emotive Verbs of Anger in Mongolian Languages

The study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the structure and development of verbal vocabulary in Mongolian languages, particularly in relation to emotiveness. The study is relevant due to the anthropocentric orientation of linguistics and the limited understanding of the issues related to emotiveness in Mongolian languages. The research draws upon linguistic material from lexicographic sources and corpora of national languages. Using various methods including analysis and synthesis of empirical material, descriptive analysis, and structural methods, the study identifies the semantic-functional characteristics of the ANGER verbs. The findings reveal that verbs with the meaning "get angry" in Mongolian languages form a complex microsystem consisting of a base verb bur. uurlakha “to be angry”/mong. urlah “to be angry, angry; get irritated; be angry; to be indignant” / kalm. uurlkh “to be angry” and five distinct lexical-semantic groups: emotional state, formation of emotional state, emotional attitude, emotional impact and external expression on emotion. These verbs share a common lexical-categorical aspect and exhibit synonymy and polysemy within their respective groups. While the representation of anger in the Mongolian languages is similar, cultural and historical factors contribute to slight variations. Moreover, the study identifies that verbs and substantive-verb combinations with the meaning "get angry" have a figurative internal structure, providing insights into the nature, reactions, and intensity of anger manifestation. This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the functional and semantic development of verbal vocabulary in Mongolian languages. The findings have implications for lexicography, linguoculturology, psycholinguistics, and related fields. The study provides valuable insight into how anger is expressed through verb forms in Mongolian languages. The information obtained from the study contributes to a more detailed description of the structure and functional development of verbal vocabulary.
