PHRASEOLOGISMS WITH THE SOMATISM COMPONENT TSE («TOOTH») IN THE ADYGHE AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of phraseological units with the somatic component tse ‘tooth’ in different-structured languages. The choice of the research topic is related to the increasing interest in the study of somatic phraseology in the Adyghe language, as well as in other languages. A comparative analysis of the semantic, functional, and stylistic features of phraseological units with the component zub in Russian and tse Adyghe languages has been conducted, and the reasons for the similarities and differences have been identified. As a result, groups of fully equivalent, partially equivalent, and non-equivalent units have been established. The author identifies semantic groups of phraseological units related to experience, aggression, emotional state, speech activity, and human character. The author concludes that the similarity of phraseological units in the compared languages (the presence of full and partial equivalents) is due to the commonality of concepts among speakers of different languages.
