| Summary: | The article studies the semantics of Chinese number word one on the material of “the Classic of the Way and the Power” (by the sage Laozi, 4-3 centuries. BC.), “the Book of Changes” (by The King Wen, 700 BC.), and the dictionary “Shuowen Jiezi” (by Xu Shen, about 147 BC.). The paper deals with the semantics of Chinese number one in detail, offering detailed analyses and intersection and overlaps between Chinese number one and Russian lexemes один and единица . Although there is no distinction in term of isosemia, ontological content of Chinese number one and Russian lexemes один and единица , it doesn’t result in the coincidence of internal forms of those linguistic signs. |
