Semantic and cultural analysis of the
terms for 'ink' in the Slavic languages
This text will analyze the semantic and cultural
motivation of the terms for ink in the Slavic
languages and their dialects, followed by an
etymological analysis of the corresponding terms in
other European languages. The VIII Lexical volume
of the General Slavic Linguistic Atlas (OLA) will be
taken as a foundation; it contains the terms for ink in
the Slavic dialects, i.e. approximately 850 settlements
on the entire Slavic territory. Namely, various terms
are used to refer to ink in the different linguistic
areas of the Slavic territory, such as мастило,
чернила, tinta, atrament, inkoust etc. This text will
analyze their geographic distribution while
presenting the semantic motivation of appropriate
terms through etymological analysis. Taking the
geographic distribution of the various terms for ink
into consideration, the compatibility of areas is
evident according to both the etymology of
appropriate terms and the cultural influence that
encompassed the appropriate semantic motivation.
By analyzing various terms for ink, my tendency is to
illustrate that lexical diversity does not depend only
on lexical heritage, but on other factors as well, such
as civilization and culture.
