NON-EQUIVALENT LEXICON IN THE MIRROR OF NATIONAL CULTURE

This article explores the phenomenon of non- equivalent lexicons and their relationship with national culture. A lexicon refers to the vocabulary or collection of words and phrases used by a particular group or community. Non- equivalent lexicons, on the other hand, represent a divergence from mainstream language conventions and are often associated with subcultures or countercultural movements. This study aims to investigate how non- equivalent lexicons reflect and interact with the broader national culture in which they emerge.
