SOME FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION OF COMPARATIVE PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS OF LAК AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of adjective comparative phraseological units of genetically and typologically different English and Lak languages, from the point of view of reflecting in them the features of the grammatical structure of the studied languages. The necessity of taking into account primary systems – lexical and grammatical, as well as the specifics of their manifestation in the organization of comparative phraseological units is emphasized. The specificity of the grammatical structure of the Lak language (the presence of the grammatical category of the class, the ergative-genitive case, the system of postpositions) is directly reflected in the grammatical organization of the comparative phraseological units of the Lak language and distinguishes them from the corresponding units of the English language. Although the component composition of phraseological units in the studied languages is the same, they differ in the order of components: in the Lak language, in the structure of the adjective phraseological unit, the noun is in the first place, and the adjective in the last; in English, on the contrary, in the first place is the adjective, in the last one is the noun. In Lak only one comparative union is represented, and in English, two language units perform a comparative function: a comparative union and a component with a similar meaning. The account of features in the structural and semantic organization of phraseological units is of particular relevance in the process of teaching English in a Dagestan-speaking audience.
