This study is dedicated to the in-depth investigation of the semantics of verbs that signify the process of removal. The focus of detailed analysis is the modeling of removal frames—structured mental representations that reflect typical scenarios associated with the disappearance or movement of objects from a specific space. The research concentrates on identifying universal and specific features in the semantic organization of French and Russian verbs that express various aspects of removal. The theoretical framework is based on the principles of cognitive linguistics, particularly the concepts of frame semantics by Charles Fillmore, which view verbs as markers of specific scenarios, participants, and their roles. This approach allows for going beyond a simple description of lexical meaning and delving into how speakers conceptualize and categorize actions related to removal. Method or methodology of the research: The study employs a cognitive-semantic approach, relying on the principles of frame semantics and comparative analysis. The methodology includes the modeling of removal frames and subsequent comparison of French and Russian verbs. The scientific novelty of this research lies in the development and application of a cognitive-semantic model of removal frames for the analysis of interlingual variability. Unlike traditional approaches that focus on the lexical or syntactic level, this work delves into the mental structures underlying removal verbs. Frame modeling allows the uncovering of deep mechanisms of categorization within this class of verbs, demonstrating how universal cognitive scenarios (e.g., moving an object from point A to point B find their linguistic reflection and specific modifications in different languages. The comparative analysis of French and Russian verbs allows not only the identification of cross-linguistic tendencies in the conceptualization of removal but also the uncovering of unique strategies inherent to each language system. The results obtained expand the understanding of linguistic categorization and conceptualization, offering new tools for studying the semantics of verbs in a cross-linguistic context.
