The meliorative set in the Adyghe language picture of the world

The article is devoted to identifying the basic ways of expressing the meliorative set in the Adyghe language picture of the world. The main purpose of the work is to identify affixal, lexical and phraseological means of verbalization of the semantics of the meliorative set in the Kabardino–Circassian language. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in Adyghe linguistic science, a set of means of transmitting the semantics of a positively evaluated set is presented. Special attention is paid to vocatives-melioratives with a plural suffix, which function in significant numbers in the Adyghe linguistic culture. This group of speech units participates in the process of communication and represents the ethnospecific features of the Adyghe linguistic culture. The results showed that the meliorative set is represented in the Adyghe linguistic consciousness by attaching the plural suffix to lexemes, free and non-free combinations of words with a common meaning of positive evaluation. Also, constructions with the semantics of abundance, causing delight and satisfaction of the speaker, were found in the Adyghe language consciousness.
