THE SYSTEM OF LEXICAL AND SEMANTIC UNITS REPRESENTING THE IDEAL SOCIETY IN FOLKLORE AND UTOPIAN DISCOURSE

Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of the system of lexical and semantic units representing the ideal society within the framework of folklore and utopian discourse. The study deeply examines the lexical units that shape the concept of society in utopian and folkloric texts and their semantic structures. The central feature of utopian and folkloric discourse is manifested through lexical units related to social values, moral principles, legal and cultural norms. These units allow for the definition and systematization of the semantic field within the discourse. The semantic analysis of lexical units reveals how they represent the image of an ideal society in utopian and folkloric texts. The results of the study demonstrate that the system of lexical units provides an opportunity to identify, categorize, and functionally analyze the concept of society in linguistic and discourse studies
