Russian Pronoun Semantic Features

Russian pronouns semantically give people void and empty feelings due to the lack of expressive features of symbols, connotations and characteristics of objects. On the one hand, they do not have the appellative or denotative function; on the other hand, they fail to explain the connotation objects bear, but work as references. As to the function of references they can function semantically only when there are context and specific coherent word communications. Therefore, their semantic function is context dependent. Meanwhile, Russian pronouns subjectively start with the speaker to define the referent relationship, and reflect the contrastive relationship of subjectivity and objectivity. This paper mainly studies the semantic characteristics and functions of Russian pronouns, which include the determinative semantics, indeterminate semantics universality semantics, generalized negative semantics, inquiry semantics, comparison discusses, delineation discusses and pertinently, the format features of its contents.
