THE PHENOMENON OF HOMONYMY IN SOMATIC NOUN LEXEMAS IN MODERN LITERARY INDIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article consists of introduction, aims and objectives, method, result and conclusion. In the introduction, the phenomenon of homonymy is touched upon and a broad definition of somatic nouns is given. In this article, the opinions of different scientists about somatic nouns were studied and information was given about when somatic dictionaries were created by scientists. Based on the theoretical views of scientists, some somatic nouns in Hindi have been taken as examples. The opinions of several foreign scientists about somatic horses were compared with each other. Some scientists divided somatic nouns into types and justified them with examples. After presenting the opinion of the above scientists, a specific form of expression of somatic nouns in Hindi was defined. It has been studied that lexemes typical of somatic nouns in the Hindi language have other semantic features besides their own meaning, that is, they also have the phenomenon of homonymy. All analyzed examples are semantically divided into different groups and their specific features are shown. In addition, homonyms of somatic nouns were studied etymologically divided into tadbhava, tatsama and videshi groups. Etymological analysis of homonyms of somatic nouns was carried out, the most productive group among them was found to be tadbhava group, and statistical analysis was carried out. In the process of writing the article, external body parts were selected for analysis, and therefore their number was not many.

The reason is that not all somatic nouns have homonymy. Other semantic meanings of homonymous somatic nouns were also mentioned. It was found that other meanings of somatic nouns besides their own meaning are also often used in the speech process and in fiction, and the phenomenon of metaphor was sometimes observed in other meanings of somatisms. To use other meanings of somatic nouns, deep knowledge is required from the researcher. Several linguistic dictionaries were used in writing this article.
