REFLECTION OF THE CONCEPT “HOME” IN KUMYK PROVERBS AND SAYINGS

Abstract

The article analyzes the paremias of the thematic group “home” in order to reveal the national features of Kumyk proverbs and sayings, as units that describe the national picture of the linguistic and cultural society. The topicality of the study lies in the historical relationship between culture and language, where paremias are units that reflect the psychology of the people, their identity and the peculiarities of imaginative thinking. On the basis of the studied material, it was revealed that a number of proverbs and sayings of the Kumyks have structural and semantic similarities with the paremias of other peoples. The main attention in the conducted research is paid to the thematic diversity of proverbs and sayings with the component “home”, where this lexeme is considered not only as the place where a person was born and grew up, but also in the meaning of ‘family’. Paremias, which include a mass popular assessment of human behavior and other social phenomena, have not only the function of edifying, but also enriching speech, which undoubtedly gives it a special expressiveness and accuracy.
