THE SPECIFICITY OF SPEECH VERBS IN RUSSIAN AND CHINESE(BASED ON EXPLANATORY DICTIONARY DATA)

In this paper examines speech verbs that exhibit comparable frequency in Russian and Chinese frequency dictionaries. The research focuses on analyzing their definitions in explanatory dictionaries of both languages. By conducting a comparative analysis of dictionary entries, the work identifies both shared characteristics and divergences in the semantic structures of high-frequency speech verbs in Russian and Chinese. The findings reveal that the semantic specifics of these verbs reflect culturally determined differences in everyday communication patterns between Russian and Chinese speakers. These observations carry significant implications for intercultural communication, translation practices, and language pedagogy.
