Looking to the Dictionary: ignorant - who is this?

modern Russian language is very different from how it used by our ancestors a hundred or more years ago.Lively and agile, it changes along with society.Studying, for example, the lexical composition of the speech can be traced back, what innovations in the field of science, technology, politics, and other areas have been introduced, and what is irrevocably gone.After neologisms, historicism, obsolete words - all our history is embodied in the word.

know - do not know who was in charge - do not know

current native speakers are often at a loss to explain ignorant - who is this?They confuse it with another, similar in meaning and sense of the word - an ignoramus.Let's try to shed light on an interesting puzzle.To do this, look in the dictionary.For example, Vladimir Dal treats the token as follows: "Nevezha - a word formed from the verb do not know, do not know, do not know how.Ignorant, impolite, I do not know how to behave, to stay in public.For example: you are ignorant of the conic planted, so he climbs under way. "

Along Dahl points out that although the word "ignorant" and goes back to the same roots, but the value of its other: uneducated man, not burdened with book knowledge, dark.As an example, Vladimir results saying: "scribe - his own, ignorant - his", "do not require a knowledge of the ignorant."At the same time, he emphasizes that "ignorance is equal neuchёnosti."Thus, according to Dahl ignorant - a man with gaps in education, behavior, and ignoramus - in education, knowledge, learning things.

Dictionary Ushakov

Continuing our study of language, we turn to yet another authoritative source - Dictionary edited by Ushakov.It pointed out that the word refers to both masculine and feminine.The author identifies tokens have two meanings.First ignorant - a brutal man, impolite.Second - synonymous to the spoken "ignorant."As a result of synonyms such examples: vahlak, peasant, farmer, redneck, rude, and others. E. Ushakov combines both concepts in one.How is competent to such a position, we shall understand later.

Ozhegov-Shvedova

in the dictionaries of modern Russian language edited Ozhegova read: "Nevezha - it's rude, impolite, ill-mannered person."E. Between "to be literate" and "to be raised" are already held a clear boundary.It turns out that Ozhegov more accurately than Ushakov takes into account the semantics of the word, nuances of its meaning and possible situations of use.This interpretation fits into the larger model of the modern society.For example, the phenomenon of barbaric disregard for the works of art, architectural monuments, picturesque corners of nature just is not the lack of evidence or lack of education, knowledge, and gaps in education, spiritual, moral savagery and incivility.It is in this sense that the address used in modern savages word "ignorant."And driven by a synonym dictionary "ball" goes to him could not be more welcome.

grammatical aspect

now dwell on the grammatical categories that determine the morphological and syntactical nature of words.They will also help to clarify its lexical meaning.Boor - a noun, animate, general kind (ie. E. It may use to the representatives of both male and female), the first declension.It may be either a singular and plural forms.When word-formative analysis singled out the prefix "not" root "vezh" ending "a".By origin dates back to the Church Slavonic "ignoramus" (with yat) of "Veda".See below for detailed evidence.

the question of etymology

tokens are "ignorant," "manage," "polite" are included in the related slot, but not single-root words."Veda" - a verb that goes back to the ancient Russian "vedt" t. E. "Know.""Polite" comes from the word "Tower" - "experts", has long been disused.Thus, originally delimited token in origin, meaning, stylistic use.Namely, "ignorant" it is the ancient Russian roots.Formed with the prefix "non" is from the ancient Russian word "Tower", ie. E. "Experts", as indicated by a characteristic sign: nepolnoglasie.The word "ignorant" completely different origins, Old Slavic.The combination of "train" indicates this is absolutely clear, as well as in these words: clothes, bring forth between.At the end of the 18th and in the 19th century, the two words are synonymous, designated the same concept: the person will uneducated, little versed in what, things ignoramus.Then, in the language practice has been transformed values.Increasingly called ignorant rude people, discourteous.

connotation "lowbrow" is gradually being replaced, leaving the category obsolete.But modern native speakers often confuse the two words, in terms of one instead of another.This phenomenon, when the words are almost the same but are spelled differently and mean different concepts, called Paronyms and tokens themselves - Paronyms.

These are interesting words brothers have in our language!
