LEXICO-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPTS «MIGRATION» AND «MOBILITY»: PHILOSOPHICAL ND PHILOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS

Abstract

This paper reveals the essence of the lexico-semantic analysis of the concepts «mobility» and «migration,» which represent critical elements in contemporary social discourse. In particular, «mobility» is examined across physical, social, economic, and technological dimensions, reflecting significant changes in social interactions and individual life paths. Simultaneously, the concept of «migration» is analyzed in terms of its historical evolution and socio-cultural significance, focusing on various motivational aspects and forms of relocation.
It is demonstrated that mobility acquires existential meaning in a philosophical-anthropological context, symbolizing an individual’s internal search related to self-identification and changes within the social environment. Migration, as a socio-cultural phenomenon, profoundly impacts both social and cultural genesis, contributing to a layered worldview that reflects both the external and internal dynamics of human life.
The study reveals that the concepts of mobility and migration possess multiple meanings, leading to their extensive use across various disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, economics, and philosophy. The article presents an analysis of works by Western thinkers who interpret mobility as a process of human interaction with social and physical space, emphasizing the ability to overcome limitations and open new perspectives.Key approaches to studying the concepts of «mobility» and «migration» are analyzed, particularly through comparative and philosophical-anthropological methods. This has uncovered differences in the perception of mobility and migration across cultural traditions, thus expanding the understanding of these phenomena and their roles in the globalized modern society.
