Let's talk about such a scientific definition as a subject. The meaning of the word is what interests us today. The reader learns that sometimes the subject is also not the most pleasant characteristic of a person, but about everything in order.
Value
The hero of the conversation is not easy. Therefore, it is not worth counting on the fact that everything will be easy. So, as always in such cases, we open the explanatory dictionary and read in it the fixed lexical meaning of the word “subject”:
- In philosophy: a knowing and acting person who opposes the world as an object of knowledge.
- Man as a carrier of some properties. For example, the subject of law is an individual or legal entity - the holder of rights and obligations. As it is easy to understand, this is a special term.
- Generally about a person (usually negatively characterized). For example: “Yes, I met this subject, he did not cause any positive emotions in me. Eyes are tricky, says in a whisper and an ugly smile on his face. Ugh, an abomination. " Conversational.
- In logic: the subject of judgment.
- In grammar: a semantic category with the meaning of the producer of the action or carrier of the state.
Yes, most of the meanings of the word “subject” are understood only by narrow specialists. Nevertheless, the noun is in fairly wide demand even among lay people. Why? Good question. Probably because the adjectives "subjective" and "objective" in everyday language are contrasted as "false" and "true", "partial" and "impartial". If the reader does not trust us, then he can verify the validity of the statement by opening the explanatory dictionary in the right place.
Synonyms
Since the word is complex, there is no reason to expect any placers of analogues. We will not hide, most of the replacements relate to the third meaning of the word “subject”. There is nothing to be done about it, the wealthier the more happy. So the list:
- face;
- man;
- being;
- activist;
- personality
- tipchik;
- subchik;
- gavrik;
- bloody;
- actor (tracing paper from English, as the subject is sometimes called in sociology - “an acting person”).
If you do not take into account the synonyms that are included in ordinary colloquial speech, then, frankly, replacement words are also quite complicated. What is one "actor" worth! Nevertheless, the essence of the phenomenon can be fully understood if desired.
Why all these difficulties?
So a person far from science may ask himself. Yes, indeed, there is a certain dictionary that we use in our everyday speech, and it is very different, say, from the scientific one. In the latter, everything seems dark and incomprehensible. And for most this seems completely redundant. You might also think that all these pundits want to somehow disconnect from everyone else, so they invent their own language, like some youth subcultures. And yes, the last conjecture is true in the sense that scientists are not ordinary people. But the main thing here is not a thirst for otherness, but the fact that a common language is completely unsuitable for scientific riddles. For two reasons: firstly, because most problems cannot be "felt", for example, in the natural sciences, and secondly, those structures that arise as a result of scientific discoveries need new names. But this is not only the case, there are also Latin, English, French borrowings that affect the scientific Russian language. But this is a completely different story, and our task has been completed.
