EXPLICATION OF THE TEMPORAL CODE OF CULTURE (BASED ON THE PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS OF THE AVAR AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES)

Abstract

The article analyzes phraseological units of the Russian and Avar (one of the Dagestani) languages with a temporal meaning, and identifies cultural meanings expressed explicitly or implicitly in them. The “cultural code” is a set of cultured ideas about the picture of the world of a particular society. The article notes the greatest productivity and specificity of the internal form of phraseological units, associated with the designation of periods of human life, the division of the day into time segments, with the reflection of religious ideas about time in them. The temporal code of culture is the basic one in the conceptual world of the two language pictures. The authors conclude that the conducted research allows to state that the temporal phraseological units in the compared languages form the basic conceptual codes and are closely related and intertwined with the religious, corporeal, zoonymic, subject and some other cultural codes.
