COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ADJECTIVAL COMPARATIVE IDIOMS IN THE GERMAN AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of the adjectival comparative phraseological units of German and Russian languages. In the languages studied, in German and Russian, adjectives are the first component of adjectival comparative phraseological units, since the adjective is the basis of all comparison. They are both semantic and structural core. Comparative analysis on the thematic basis of the adjectival comparative phraseological units helps to find out in which logical and conceptual spheres and how the process of forming of comparative phraseological units goes on. Lexico-thematic groups include adjectives that denote the sign, property and quality of objects perceived by the senses. A significant part of the adjectival comparative phraseological units of the two languages are two-component phraseological formations having similar structural and semantic models. In these languages, it is noted as similar and different stable units. The order of components in comparative adjectival phraseological units is mostly fixed and does not allow any changes in the context.
