RELIGIOUS PRECEDENT NAMES IN RUSSIAN AND ARABIC PROVERBIAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article describes the specifics of representation of precedent names of the religious code of culture in the Russian and Arabic proverbial pictures of the world. The religious code is firmly woven into the linguocultures of the languages under consideration, including the inclusion of precedent phenomena of this sphere in the paremiological space. A precedent name becomes a sign in the culture, in which it arose or turned out to be in demand. A distinctive feature of religious discourse is the realization of a special type of communication – the communication of God and man, then the name of the Creator acts as a key precedent name organizing the center of the confessional space. God as a key concept is the basis for the creation of various discursive formulas, speech practices and precedent names. The second most important precedent name is the prophets.
