Antonymous pairs of forms-idioms in Russian everyday discourse

Abstract
The article deals with the description of the usage peculiarities in Russian everyday discourse of a number of prepositional-case structural unitsconstructions – forms-idioms (FId) (v kajf – ne v kajf, v mast’ – ne v mast’, k dobru – ne k dobru, v dukhe – ne v dukhe, v sebe – ne v sebe). The analysis of the corpus material showed that some similar pairs of forms-idioms are real antonyms (v kajf – ne v kajf, v mast’ – ne v mast’), and in other pairs of FId the presence or absence of a negative particle changes not just semantics (plus to minus), but also grammar: Okh/ ne k dobru eto (predicate) – Cho-to zhivot ne k dobru pobalivayet (addition) – odna i ta zhe osobennost’ l’va mozhet tolkovat’sya <....> i k dobru/ i ko zlu (circumstance). It no longer allows considering such pairs as antonymous. Sometimes the elimination of a negative particle generally takes the word form beyond the framework of forms-idioms: segodnya cho-to ne v dukhe on (FId, predicate) – kak raz eto v dukhe Srednevekov’ya (preposition, part of the predicate). The study was conducted on the basis of materials from the corpus of Russian everyday speech “One Speech Day” (base material) and the oral subcorpus of the National Corpus of the Russian Language (additional material).
