Thematic types of nominative units with cultural connotations

culturally connotative words are words-realia, the primary meaning of which is usually common to two or more languages, but these words have special additional meanings or co-meanings based on cultural and historical associations. These are usually neutral words, supplemented, however, for a native speaker, by emotional or aesthetic associations. Culturally connotative words prevail in poetry and in works of oral creativity, where their aesthetic function, emotional and allegorical meaning are especially clearly revealed. Nominative units with cultural connotations can be classified according to the subject principle (type of the original nominative meaning) and divided into the following groups: designations of animals, birds, plants, colors, numbers, folklore images, anthroponyms, toponyms and theonyms.
