Type: article
Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of verbal predicates with the meaning of wealth/poverty and their phraseological analogues in order to identify their role in the linguistic representation of socio-economic relations. The article identifies groups and subgroups within the micro-fields of wealth/poverty, performs a functional-semantic analysis of the elements of these micro-fields, and determines their main contextual meanings, which testify to the peculiarities of the perception of the phenomena of wealth/poverty by native speakers of modern Russian. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that, based on the main provisions of discourse, cognitive, and communicative-pragmatic linguistics, it comprehensively describes the main semantic features of verbal predicates of wealth/poverty and their phraseological correspondences in modern Russian taking into account how these units reflect the dynamics of the social state. As a result of the study, it was established that verbal predicates with the meaning of wealth/poverty and their phraseological correspondences are actively used in modern Russian. These units possess a significant emotional and socio-cultural charge, being an important means of describing socio-economic aspects of life and reflecting changes in society.
