The study, which forms part of the collection of scientific works edited by the author, is devoted to the analysis of the relevance of the diachronic and areal approach in the study of the etymology of idioms. Practice shows that etymologising idioms in a monolingual framework often prompts the researcher to make erroneous conclusions about their ethnic and cultural originality, which can lead to the mythologizing of the source culture. However, the areal approach makes it possible to obtain a complete linguogeographic picture of the functioning of the idiom in all its variants - and it is often found that its area far exceeds ethnic boundaries. In addition, following the development of the idiom in its entire area in a diachronic cross-view makes it possible to determine the earliest occurrence and thus also the source of the spread of a phraseological unit. The historical-etymological and areal research methodology is based on the material of Russian, Belarusian and Polish languages in wider Slavic and European contexts. (published in Russian)

Славянская лексика звукосимволического происхождения: проблемы этимологизации

Studia Slavica, 2008

According to etymological dictionaries of Slavic languages, as well as recently issued ones, there should not be any words of sound symbolic origin in these languages or their amount should be very small. This fact, however, contradicts the typological assumption of primitiveness and universality of phonetically motivated words. The present paper discusses two main points of the etymological analysis of words of sound symbolic origin: how to recognize them and how to define the groups of cognates between them in Slavic languages. In the recognition of sound-symbolic words, the reduplication should be considered as a most reliable criterion. In discussing the possibilities of defining the groups of cognates between words of sound-symbolic origin the following points are emphasized. The continuants of the different sound-symbolic origin in the different languages and dialects can have the same or similar phonetic forms and convey the same meaning, too. Since the similar reduplicated forms can be created as ...

On the Typological Criteria for the Recognition of Words of Sound Symbolic Origin in Etymological Research (On the Basis of Indo-European Languages) The recognition of the words of sound symbolic origin is a weak point in etymology. According to etymological dictionaries of Indo-European languages there should not be any words of sound symbolic origin in these languages or their amount should be very small. This fact, however, contradicts the typological assumption of primitiveness and universality of onomatopoetic words. The article examines the application of the typological criteria that can be taken into consideration in the etymological research for the recognition of the words which have a sound symbolic origin. The most reliable of these criteria is the reduplication. If a series of words which convey the same meaning or meanings originating from the same one contains reduplicated clusters of sounds, they could be continuants of sound symbolic etymons. In the article a lot of examples with the same or related meanings are given. These can be considered as forms with full reduplication according to the model: CË-CË and CVR-CVR or partial reduplication according to the model: CV-CË, CV-CVR or CË-C-, CVR-C-. The etymologist has to take into consideration the fact that reduplication in sound symbolic words could have been obscured by regular and irregular changes. As a result of semantic changes the words of sound symbolic origin can develop meanings that usually are not expressed by the onomatopoetic words. Usually the relationship between the continuants of the same onomatopoetic etymon cannot be established by the phonetic laws or the continuants of the different onomatopoeic origin in the different languages, and dialects can have the same or similar phonetic forms, too. Therefore, in etymological research, the sound symbolic origin of the words can be established with more confidence than their relationship.

Методологични аспекти на етимологизацията на звукосимволична лексика [Methodological aspect of the etymologization of sound-symbolic words] - in Bulgarian

This research proposes a procedure for recognition and investigation of the words of synesthetic sound-symbolic origin in etymology. Since some features of the sounds are changing according to the phonetic laws in the language evolution the reduplication is considered to be the most reliable criterion in the recognition of these kinds of words. In establishing the groups of cognates between the words of sound-symbolic origin one should take into consideration their peculiar formal and semantic variation and the possibility of independent origin of words with similar forms and meanings.
