AVAR PAREMIOLOGICAL UNITS CORRELATED WITH THE TEMPORAL CODE OF CULTURE

Abstract

The article deals with Avar masculine and feminine paremiological units, correlative with the temporal code of culture; antithetical oppositions of an evaluative nature are analyzed; multi-level language means are identified and described that actualize the temporal semantics and the corresponding connotations (numerals, words with quantitative semantics, designations of various periods of time, names of the seasons, etc.). The structures considered in the article, which are microfragments of anthropocentric paremiology, are of interest for the study of the Avar language picture of the world. A comprehensive study of such units will make it possible to formulate broader generalizations of a historical and etymological nature. The article concludes that most of the Avar paremias with temporal meaning are built on a metaphorical basis and are characterized by vivid imagery, emotionality, expressiveness. The analysis shows that in the Avar paremiological units temporal semantics are actualized by multi-level linguistic means that form positive or negative paremiological images of a feminine or masculine nature.
