COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SUBJECT-THEMATIC GROUPS OF PAREMIAS OF THE LEZGIAN AND GERMAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of the subject-thematic groups of paroemias of genetically unrelated Lezgian and German languages. It is noted that in Lezginsky there are subject-thematic groups of paremias that do not occur in German. Most often they are associated with religious, cultural, geographical and climatic features. Not all subject-thematic are available and are equally filled in both languages. The analyzed paremiological material is divided into the following subject-thematic groups: blind – sighted, friend – enemy, wealth – poverty, life – death, stupid – smart, homeland – foreign land, work – idleness. A small part of the studied paremias of the Lezgian language have analogues in German. But most of the studied paremiological units of both languages have no parallels. A certain part of the German paroemias characterizes the mentality of the Germans, their tendency to scrupulousness, truthfulness and punctuality.
