Modern Russian language is very different from how it was used by our ancestors a hundred or more years ago. Alive and moving, it changes with society. Studying, for example, the lexical composition of speech, it is possible to follow what innovations in science, technology, politics and other fields were introduced, and what is irretrievably gone. After all, neologisms, historicism, obsolete words – all our history recorded in the word.

Know – not to know, to know – they do not know

this is ignorantOf the Current native speakers often find it difficult to explain to the ignorant – who is this? They confuse it with another, close in meaning and the meaning of the word-ignorant. Let's try to shed some light on an interesting puzzle. To do this, look in the dictionary. For example, Dahl treats the token as follows: “Ignorant – a word formed from the verb do not know, not know, not be able to. Ignorant, insensitive, not knowing how to behave, to stay on people. For example: you're ignorant on Konik plant, so he will climb”.

Along the way, Dahl indicates that though the word “ignorant” and goes back to the same roots, but the significance of it otherwise: an uneducated man, not burdened the book of knowledge, dark. As an example Vladimir Ivanovich quotes sayings: "the scribe – your ignorant – your”, “do not demand to ignorant knowledge”. At the same time, he stressed that “ignorance is newchinese”. Thus, according to Dahl ignorant – people with gaps in education, behavior, and ignorant – education, knowledge, academic subjects.

Dictionary Ushakov

Continuing our language study, consult another authoritative source-the Explanatory dictionary edited by Ushakov. Here is stated that the word applies to both male and feminine. The author identifies the lexeme has two meanings. First: ignorant – rude people, impolite. Second – a conversational synonym for “ignorant”. As synonyms gives the following examples: Wolak, peasant, farmer, redneck, snapper, Etc. i.e. Ushakov combines both concepts in one. How competent this position, will look later.

Ozhegov-Shvedova

word ignorantIn an Explanatory dictionary of modern Russian language under the editorship of Ozhegov read: “Ignorant – rude, uncivil, ill-mannered man”. I.e. between “being literate” and “to be nurtured” there is already a clear boundary. It turns out that burns more accurately than Ushakov, takes into account the semantics of the word, shades of its meaning and possible situations of use. This interpretation fits more into the model of modern society. For example, the phenomenon of barbaric disregard for the works of art, architectural monuments, picturesque corners of nature is just not evidence of the absence or lack of education, knowledge, and the gaps in education, spiritual, moral savagery and incivility. It is in this sense and is used to address modern savages, the word “ignorant”. As cited in the dictionary the synonym “Balls” fits him very well.

Grammatical aspect

Let us now Focus on the grammatical categories that determine the morphological and the syntactic nature of words. They will also help to clarify its lexical meaning. Ignorant – noun, animate, common gender (i.e. it can be used to representatives of both male and female), of the first declension. May be in the form and the only thing and plural. When derivational analysis to distinguish the prefix “not" root "poli" the end «and». Origin dates back to the Church “ignorant” (from Yat) from “manage”. A detailed proof see below.

The question about the etymology

lexical meaning ignorantToken “ignorant”, “manage”, “polite” are socket related, but not single-root words. “Manage” the verb dates back to the ancient “Vedi”, ie, “know”. “Polite” comes from the word “tower” - “expert”, has long been disused. Thus, initially, the token delimiting the origin, significance, stylistic use. Namely: “ignorant” has ancient roots. Formed with the prefix “” it is from the ancient word “tower”, ie, “expert”, as indicated by a characteristic sign: polnolunie. The word “ignorant” completely different origin, old Slavonic. The combination of “train” indicates that is absolutely obvious, as in these words: garment, bring forth, in between. At the end of the 18th and in the 19th century both words were synonymous, meaning one and the same concept: point to the uneducated person, a little versed, a mere ignoramus. Then, in the language practice was a transformation of values. Ignorant is often referred to rude people, impolite.

The flavor of “educated” is gradually displaced, leaving obsolete. But modern speakers often confuse the two words, using them instead of the other one. The phenomenon when words sound almost the same but are spelled differently and refer to different concepts, called paroimia, and themselvestoken – paronyms.

These are interesting words-brothers there are in our language!
