PRECEDENT POTENTIAL OF PROVERBS, SAYING AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE DARGIN LANGUAGE AS A PROBLEM OF SEMANTIC RESEARCH

Abstract

The article studies paremias from the point of view of anthropogenesis, which gives unlimited possibilities to consider them as an object of lexical and semantic research and to reveal their pragmatic significance, which demonstrates their ability to be a source for precedent references. The authors demonstrate how on a number of linguistic and purely pragmatic features the case-based properties of the most active types of paremias in the Dargin language are based: proverbs, sayings, signs. The rich material of the Dargin language paremias cited as an example provides ample opportunity to comprehensively reveal the subject of the study: the case-based potential of the studied paremias. To complete the picture, the authors carry out a comparative analysis of the Dargin language paremias with the sayings of the Russian language, which contributes not only to determining the status of well-known and often quoted units of the language within the language itself, but also to a clear classification of the case potential relative to other languages.
