PRIDE AND HUMILITY (semantic analysis of virtues and their antipodes)

Abstract

The aim of our research is the semantic field of the virtue dignity, with lexemes that are related and opposed to it (pride, ugly, beautiful, calm, humility, modest). Since this is a virtue, the analysis will be performed in a philosophical-theological context. We will also take into account the etymological analysis of the lexemes and the implications of their etymology in terms of semantics and vocabulary enrichment. The analysis will be performed based on the use of the lexemes from this semantic field in contexts of contemporary Macedonian language and literature.
