COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS EXPRESSING HUMAN CHARACTER IN CHECHEN AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of phraseological units that characterize a person in the Chechen and Russian languages. It is noted that the studied linguistic units are widely used in these languages. The main function is considered to be the function of expressiveness, as well as emotionality, characteristics of individual achievements, social status and much more related to the character of a person. In these languages, phraseological units that form various unities, groups and subgroups that characterize human behavior and actions represent a great variety. There were many Chechen stable combinations that report certain information about a person that does not coincide with Russian phraseological units. There are also Russian phraseological units that define the qualities and behavior of a person that do not coincide with the phraseological units of the Chechen language. As a result of the subject codification of these stable expressions in these languages, three groups are identified: units that negatively evaluate a person; units that positively evaluate a person; units that determine a neutral assessment of a person. The subject range of stable units demonstrating unfavorable qualities and properties of a person includes 6 semantic fields. Phraseological units demonstrating the well-behaved and laudable properties of a person included 3 semantic fields. The field with the semantics “mental abilities” turned out to be the most filled. The subject range of the phraseological units depicting a person’s loyalty includes 5 semantic fields. The content of semantic fields turned out to be approximately the same in both languages.
