Abstract

Based on the materials of the Russian literature and journalism of the nineteenth century, the article examines the features of the functioning of the ethnonym Nemets (a German) and its derivatives (nemetsky; onemechenny; onemechitsya, etc.), acting as lexical presenters of the German cultural stereotype. The article centers on the features of the expression of the cultural (national, symbolic) semantics of an ethnonym and its derivational productivity. The author formulates evaluative and ascertaining component of the cultural stereotype under study, which has a verbal embodiment, primarily at the level of vocabulary and syntax. The conclusion is made on the influence of an author's perspective on the completeness / specification of the content of this stereotype in a particular text.

Keywords:

ethnonym “german”, cultural stereotype, linguistics of a stereotype.
