LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE PHENOMENON OF “COURAGE” IN THE SEMANTIC FIELD OF SPIRITUALITY
Keywords:
Courage, spirituality, semantic field, linguistic analysis, lexical-semantic analysis, synonyms, pragmatics.Abstract
This article examines the phenomenon of “courage” within the semantic field of spirituality from a linguistic perspective. The study analyzes the use of the word in various contexts from lexical-semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic viewpoints, its relationship with synonyms, and its socio-ethical characteristics. The analysis shows that courage reflects an individual’s mental resilience, moral firmness, and social responsibility, and manifests as a complex linguistic phenomenon closely linked to spirituality and society. The findings provide a basis for further in-depth studies of the semantic field of spirituality in linguistic research.
