FOOD CODE OF CULTURE IN PAREMIOLOGICAL PICTURE OF THE WORLD OF AVAR AND RUSSIAN

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the linguoculturological description of the food code of culture in the paremiological picture of the world of the Avar and Russian languages. The conceptualization of the food code of culture in proverbs and sayings is characterized by a variety of representations and includes a broad sociocultural subtext. Characterized by the complexity of the structure and multi-layered associative-semantic field, food concepts are represented by a large number of verbalizers. The most frequent and nuclear component is the lexeme bread. Comparative semantics and ethnocultural connotation are inherent in the paremiological images of the languages under consideration, which are actualized by parallel forms and semantic-syntactic means. The authors conclude that that the food code of culture belongs to universal codes and occupies a special place in both the Avar and Russian linguists, updating the specifics of the worldview of the ethnic group. Its importance is confirmed by the frequency of representation in the paremiological picture of the world of languages in question.
