On the issue of lexical and phraseological means of micropoles of indefinite large and small numbers in the German language

the article analyzes the issues of lexical and phraseological means of micropoles of indefinite large and small numbers in the German language. It is noted that the studied micropoles are interconnected. They overlap with such functional and semantic fields as time, intensity, and parametricity. All the fields under consideration are mobile, as they include signs already present in the language. They also include the directions of creating new, individual signs with the value of evaluation and quantification. It is emphasized that different types of nomination are defined for the representation of functional and semantic fields. The methods of evaluative expression of an indefinite quantity in form a rather massive functional and semantic whole. It occupies a significant place in the macro field of quantity and is divided into groups or fields of a certain and indefinite quantity. The micropole of an indeterminately large amount (ILA) is characterized by a complex structure and a wide variety of components. The field of indefinite small quantity (ISQ) has a simpler structure and consists of a small number of components. The principles of lexico-phraseological grouping determine the specifics of the structure of each of these fields.
