PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS WITH THE COMPONENT KARAK “EYES” IN TUVAN AND RUSSIAN (COMPARATIVE ASPECT)

Abstract

The article presents a semantic and comparative analysis of phraseological units with the component karak “eye” in the compared languages. If phraseological units with the component karak “eye” in the Russian language have been studied sufficiently, then in a comparative aspect with the Tuvan language they have not been studied. The purpose of the study is to identify similarities and differences in the semantic aspect of the idioms with the component karak in Tuvan and Russian. To achieve the goal, the following tasks are set: to write out phraseological units with the component equivalent to the names of an eye from dictionaries of the Tuvan and Russian languages; to distribute them into semantic groups; to identify the similarities and differences of the idiom with these components in the studied languages. The researchers use a Tuvan-Russian Phraseological Dictionary by Ya.Sh. Hertek, from which 52 Tuvan units with the component karak are identified, as well as a “Large Phraseological Dictionary of the Russian language” by V.N. Telia – 105 phraseological units. The collected phraseological units are divided into 43 lexico-semantic groups. There are phraseological units with similar semantics are found in 16 groups, and with different semantics which are put into eight Tuvan groups and 22 Russian groups.
