Abstract
This article is aimed at the systemic description of the body of
adjectives used in English Last Wills and Testaments. The
corpus of research contains 50 English Last Wills and
Testaments written between 1837-2000. The suggested
approach to the description is based on the notion of semantic
field. Having defined semantic field as a group of words
possessing the same conceptual meaning, characterized by
certain relations between lexemes and belonging to the same
part of speech, the author singles out six semantic fields of
adjectives which occur in English Last Wills and Testaments:1) adjective which have a common feature of sequence; 2)
adjectives which have a common feature of ownership and
describe property and business; 3) adjectives which
characterize personality and are used to describe people; 4)
adjectives which have a common feature of life boundary; 5)
adjectives which have common a feature of legitimacy 6)
adjectives which have a common feature of distribution and
describe the way of payment. It is substantiated that the
relations between the lexical units in each group are based on
synonymy in most of the cases. Some subfields are defined by
relations of antonymy or are arranged as a circle or sequence.
