    Abstract

    The article attempts to explain and interpret the expression “this green, red world” by
    Hrant Matevosyan as a symbol. To introduce the “Valley – world” which is alive in H.
    Matevosyan’s literature and is a complete creative work, Nature being the Sun and the
    Sky, earth and water, tree and flower, living and non-living beings, sounds, smells, and
    colours, Matevosyan’s worldview of seeing a united world with mutual relations as an
    expression of his philosophical, nature-worshipping perception. To demonstrate the
    Matevosyanean way and principle of particularly "spiritualizing" inanimate and nonspeaking
    beings, their “thoughts”, presenting their continuing existence by making it all
    visible, audible and tangible: “to write not about a tree, but from within a tree, not about
    a horse, but from within a horse”.

    Abstract

    The manuals we have studied have a history of decades. During that time, the morphological norms of Eastern Armenian underwent certain changes, which, of course, could not be recorded in the mentioned textbooks. That is why there are some contradictions in the realities of the modern literary Armenian language used in the mentioned manuals. The article discusses the discrepancies that exist between the morphological-nominal norm of Modern Eastern Armenian and the rules presented in the aforementioned university manuals. The task is to consider them in the textbooks of this kind and other normative grammar textbooks from the point of view of the current norms of modern literary Eastern Armenian.

    Abstract

    The paper examines G. Jahukyan’s viewpoint on syntactic
    isoglosses among the Indo-European languages and particularly between Armenian and
    the Celtic languages. In his studies, the scientist puts forward the hypothesis of the VSO
    typological sample as being more archaic, which, however, is not definitely evaluated in
    Indo-European linguistics. The author of this paper confirms G. Jahukyan’s viewpoint
    on the above-discussed matter with the help of careful examination of appropriate facts
    and also the results of his researches.

    Abstract

    The synonymous words of the semio-thematic group "clothing" appear in the language in different ways. Synonymous series can be composed of two versions of literary language, dialects, Grabarian և Middle Armenian words, neo-formations, etc. These synonyms are classified and grouped according to different criteria. The most important of them is the semantic criterion, which determines the degree of semantic similarity or generality of these words, as well as the difference. Taking into account the period when these synonyms are used, we distinguish two groups of synonyms denoting the concept of "clothing": synchronic and diachronic. The parts of the synonym series belong to different parts of speech, have different word-formation patterns, and quantitatively they have two and multiple parts.

             The role of synonyms in the semantic field "clothing" is huge in the process of enrichment of the language vocabulary and stylistic means, development of speech culture.
