The linguistic picture of the word “chinovnic”
Portret językowy słowa „чиновник”
Portret językowy słowa „чиновник”
Abstract
The article deals with the semantics and usage of the word chinovnic (official). The
author views “the behavior” of this noun in the Russian texts of 18th–19th and 20th, 21st c. The investigation is based on the materials of Russian National Corpus (ruscorpora.ru). In the texts
of 18th–19th c. the noun is used in a model “noun + proper name”, but in the modern use this model is lost, the noun chinovnic draws closer to the noun bureaucrat (pedant). In the article the main and peripheral senses of the noun chinownis are described: hired labor, disinterested attitude, lack of individuality. Native speakers of modern Russian avoid too negative descriptions
contained in the word bureaucrat, which are perceived as too negative and prefer to use
ambiguous noun such as chinovnic.
