Abstract. The aim of the study is to determine the structure, composition and interaction of lexical units in the lexico-semantic field “Food” in the novel “The Rebel Angels” by Robertson Davies as exemplified by the micro-field “Alcohol”. The study is original in that it is the first in linguistics to use a field approach to examine the vocabulary with the semantics of food based on the material of R. Davies’s work “The Rebel Angels”, which contributes to the detailed differentiation of special terminology related to the topic of “food” in the English language. As a result, the vocabulary with the semantics of food was identified in the text of the novel, its repetitions were eliminated. The remaining 482 lexical units formed the lexico-semantic field “Food”, consisting of 2 large micro-fields “Foods” and “Drinks”. The micro-field “Foods” is divided into 2 large micro-fields “Dishes” and “Receiving guests”. The micro-field “Drinks” contains 2 micro-fields: “Drinks proper” and “At a drinking establishment”. The micro-field “Alcohol”, which is a part of the micro-field “Drinks proper”, was analyzed in detail, distinctive features within the micro-field were revealed, its structure was presented.
Key words and phrases: построение лексико-семантического поля «Еда», выделение микрополей, микрополе «Алкоголь», структурно-семантическая дифференциация лексических единиц, принцип структурной сложности состава лексических единиц, construction of the lexico-semantic field “Food”, identification of micro-fields, micro-field “Alcohol”, structural and semantic differentiation of lexical units, principle of structural complexity of the composition of lexical units
