Abstract

The article examines features of the use of phraseological units with a zoonym component in the story “The White Steamer” by Ch. Aitmatov. Chingiz Aitmatov is a great writer whose works have been translated into many languages. The idiostyle of the writer is distinguished by a vivid national flavor. The author actively uses in his works the numerous pictorial resources of the Russian and Kyrgyz languages: comparisons, metaphors, proverbs, sayings and others. Phraseological units are often used, including phraseological units with the component-name of animals and birds. These units are discussed in detail in the article. The specificity of the ideological and compositional structure of the story “The White Steamer” is revealed. Usual and occasional phraseological units, which include a zoonym component, are described in detail. The writer uses phraseological units with component names of steppe animals and birds. The role of phraseological units with a zoonym component as a means of characterizing the appearance of characters, behavior and character of the characters is described. The ways of transferring the data of phraseological units from Russian to Kyrgyz are revealed. The author uses such techniques as selection of phraseological equivalents and phraseological analogues, a descriptive method, replacing phraseological units with lexical ones. Phraseologisms with a zoonym component can be used both in normal and transformed form.
