Semantic and Lexicological Aspects of Enological Terms with Negative Connotation in the Georgian Language

The present study offers a semantic analysis of lexical units that reflect the qualitative characteristics of Georgian wine, based on field research and lexicographic sources. It focuses on the semantic fields of terms denoting low-quality wine in various dialectal areas, examining their etymological and semantic features. The research provides a structural-semantic analysis of lexical units used in Georgian dialects to denote inferior wine. The material has been collected through both fieldwork and lexicographic sources. As a result of the study, semantic groupings of lexemes and their distribution across Georgian dialects were identified.
