Семантическая вариативность термина national и его синонимический ряд в британском конституционном интертексте

Abstract

The article studies the evolution of the term "national", manifested by its semantic variability in the framework of the British constitutional intertext. The semantic heterogeneity and the resulting ambiguity along with the orig-inality of the intertext of the British Constitution requires further investigation of the term considered. The term "national", which is a hyperonym, is presented as a structure from the perspective of the prototypical approach, which is based on the concept of the prototypical referent, or standardized actualization of a special concept, or a prototypical significatum. From this point of view the term is objectified as a structure consisting of the nucleus, or prototypical referent, the paranuclear area that contains referents with the majority of the prototypical significative features, and the periphery including referents having significatum, which coincides with the prototype least of all.
