Paradigmatic relations between components in constructions with pseudo-exhaustion (through the example of Pechora phraseology)

The article addresses the phraseological units of the Local Pechora dialects based on the pseudo-exhaustion procedure and built on the phraseological model with the conjunction ni... ni (neither... nor). The purpose is to identify the types of relationships between components in negative coordinate constructions, which is hypothesized to contribute to the explication of semantic, linguocultural and artistic features of idioms. The research material comprises idioms recorded in the territory of the Pechora dialects distribution (Ust-Tsilemsky District of the Komi Republic of the Russian Federation) and derived from phraseological dictionaries, including the regional ones. The studied expressions are investigated in comparison with common Russian and dialect phrasemes. The analysis of the Pechora constructions with pseudo-exhaustion leads to the conclusion that their components form various paradigmatic relations - antonymic or synonymic, hyponymic or partitive, situational or associative. Phraseological units with extreme components and synonyms have a high degree of idiom composition predictability. Sporadic selection of components is inherent in the constructions with components that are closely related thematically. The analysis of structures with pseudo-exhaustion as one of the ways for the idiomatic coding of meaning enables us to reconstruct individual fragments of the regional and nationwide picture of the world, and to reveal the creative potential of the Russian people.
