Abstract

The paper addresses language units that constitute semantic space "catastrophe" within alternative English-mediated worldviews. Designation units synonymic or contextually related to catastrophe / disaster, were chosen from the Web 2021 (enTenTen21) corpus suggested by the Sketch Engine and from the custom corpus of present-day rock lyrics processed via the Ant.Conc 3.5.8 tools. The content of the respective concept is considered through the prism of a logical model that addresses an entropic irrevocable transformation of an open system. He paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the space's composition in two worldview variants. The structure of the semantic space is identified as a field, i.e. a dynamic volumetric continuum that sports multi-level organization as well as each level's zonal segmentation. Special attention is paid to functional-semantic and semiotic properties of the space-field's components. The article employs an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the myth-oriented semiosis theory and broad inter-systemic analogies ("M-logic").
