Abstract

The article studies the phenomenon of church festive vocabulary. It also determines its significance for the culture and history of Russia, as well as its place and role in the Church Slavonic and modern Russian languages. In the 20th century, church vocabulary found itself on the periphery of the linguistic space due to the political situation. The relevance of studying this lexical layer is due to its return to the active vocabulary in modern speech and, as a result, the interest of linguists in understanding the words of the religious sphere in a cultural and historical context. Festive vocabulary is a thematic group of church words, the focus of national spiritual traditions. Heortological vocabulary reveals the essence of the Orthodox festival, its beauty and emotional content. With the help of lexico-­semantic and stylistic analysis of the work of Metropolitan Veniamin (Fedchenkov) “Reflections on the Twelve Great Feasts…”, the author shows how mastering the vocabulary of the holiday helps to comprehend the full depth and grandeur of solemn church events. The methods of questioning, generalization of information and sociological observation made it possible
to assess the state of the church festive vocabulary in modern speech usage. As a result of the study, the activation of the use of Church Slavonic words with the seme “holiday” in the modern lexical system is noted, which the author qualifies as indirect evidence of the spiritual and moral revival of society that has begun.
