СHINESEISMS AS A MEANS OF REPRESENTING CHINESE DAILY CULTURE IN RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISM

Abstract

This article examines words of Chinese origin used in Belarusian international publicism as a means of representing the everyday culture of Chinese residents. The study is based on Russian-language texts by Belarusian international journalists M. N. Shimansky and I. N. Pleskachevskaya. The author analyzed Сhineseisms that serve as names for cultural and everyday realities and identified factors that contribute to the penetration of Сhineseisms from the thematic group “Everyday Culture” into Russian-language texts of Belarusian mass media. The article describes the semantic development of vocabulary of Chinese origin in Russian media speech. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of representing the national and cultural characteristics of Chinese life. The main functions of cultural and everyday realities borrowed from Chinese in journalistic texts are highlighted.
