Abstract

The article analyzes stylistically neutral units of the English language within the lexical field of "age," focusing on the concepts associated with early youth and youth. The study aims to investigate the etymology, trace the historical development, and elucidate the semantics of the lexemes representing these age periods and individuals characterized by them. The article examines the distinct English national portrayal of these age periods and conducts a semantic analysis of how the concepts of "early youth" and "youth" are verbalized over time and in the present context.
