V.I. Abajev: The Idea of “Small” and “Great Semantics”

The idea of two aspects of semantics was substantiated by V. I. Abajev.

On the other hand, we can speak about “great semantics”, or “ideological semantics”, which is the semantics of genesis and correlation of wordy meanings.

In the Russian language from the period of converting to Christianity the expression of humanitarian ethic norms was connected with the idea of God. In the old Russian language one of God’s name was Áëŕăú, Áëŕăî. This is “ideological semantics”, which enables to make important conclusions, concerning man’s ideology and man’s spiritual culture.
