THE DIFFERENCE OF PAREMIOLOGICAL UNITS FROM OTHER TYPES OF STABLE COMBINATIONS OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The vocabulary of the German language, its specificity, makes it possible to differentially investigate such phenomena of the language as stable combinations. They also contribute to a deeper understanding of the specifics of the lexical composition, to know the laws of its development and to determine the connections of language and thinking. There are interesting observations and observations in the linguistic literature on stable units, but the researchers did not set out to comprehensively study the paremiological units of the German language. Definitions of paroemias, which are given by different researchers, generally contain one invariably common thing – the equivalence of these units to a sentence, and have an edifying character, as well as a special stylistic coloring. The analysis of the differences between paremiological units and other types of stable combinations of the German language led to the conclusion that paremias are communicatively complete, comprehensively stable idiomatic phrases of a generalizing nature. They differ from other types of stable phrases, first of all, by the generalizing nature of the content. Sayings also have a specific nature of content. And the catch phrases retain their connection with the source of origin and are inherent in quotability.
