Abstract

The task of the article is to analyze structural features of proverbs, which include a comparative component. The material of one of the dialects of Russian Germans in Western Siberia is being studied. In the analysis, a comparison is made with the corresponding proverbs of the literary German language. Proverbs with a comparative element have the structure of a simple extended sentence with the circumstance of comparison or a complex sentence with a comparative clause of equality, negative equality or inequality. A feature of phraseological expressions of this kind is the substitution in the dialect of the conjunction als in comparative clauses of inequality for the conjunction wie. In addition, both in the dialect and in the literary language, some members of the sentence are eliminated.
