Annotation
The research aims at describing a set of lexical units that make up a group of the Russian stove somonyms. Somonyms are a set of lexical items denoting parts or areas of the body, that is, they are part of the somatic code that translates cultural information through language. Russian stove as a cultural phenomenon occupies a central place in a number of Russian folklore genres, and the interpretation of its semantics is a relevant issue in terms of ethnolinguistics and linguoculturology. The Russian stove is compared to a person within the upper – lower opposition. The paper describes and analyzes the somonyms of the upper, middle and lower levels of the human body. The transfer of names is carried out on the basis of similarity in the shape of body parts and furnace parts, considering their functioning. The analysis of the top-level somonyms of the human body (head and neck) showed that the upper part of the Russian stove is identified with the head and face of a person. The analysis
of the somonyms of the middle part of the human body proves that, despite the person’s traditionally formed interpretation of their own body, the somonyms of the Russian stove do not quite correlate with the human body, the somonyms naming the upper part of the human body can also denote the middle part, they relate to the head, then to the mill. The reason for this probably lies in the mythological ideas of man concerning the vital centers: the Slavic mythology consider the head and belly
(navel) to be the vital centers. The analysis of the somonyms of the lower level of the human body (legs) showed that, in relation to the Russian stove, such somonyms can be located not only below, near the floor, but also in the middle, inside (in the hole), as well as above, in the pipe. The source of lexical material was dialect dictionaries of the Russian language.
