PROVERBS ABOUT SUMMER IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE: LINGUOCULTUROLOGICAL ASPECT

Abstract

The article presents a study of proverbs about summer in the Russian language from the point of view of the linguocultural aspect. Proverbs, which contain all the historical experience, views, customs of the Russian people, shed light and help to reveal the worldview experience, moral values and the essence of national traits. Solving the problems of analyzing the concepts of linguoculturology and the linguoculturological aspect, selecting and interpreting proverbs about summer from dictionaries of proverbs and sayings of the Russian language, allows achieving the goal of the study and confirm that proverbs in their unchanged form represent a system of images that capture the collective ideological ideas of the ancestors used currently. When preparing the material to describe the linguocultural aspect, the method of continuous sampling from dictionaries of proverbs and sayings of the Russian language on a given topic is used. The selected Russian language proverbs about summer allowed to draw a conclusion about the behavioral characteristics of the Russian people during the summer period. Thus, it was important for people to comply with the deadlines for field work and prepare for winter. Labor was given a large role, and the harmful effects of laziness and idleness were described. That is why there are few summer proverbs regarding the theme of the holiday, and all significant dates, one way or another, are associated with time ranges for work. In the proverbs about the summer of the Russian language, there is also a place for reflecting natural phenomena, predictions and signs, comparison and contrast with other seasons. In terms of language, proverbs can change over time (some become obsolete, others appear). In the modern world, some outdated proverbs are no longer entirely understandable to the Russian people due to the revision of values and the real response to eventual reality. New proverbs do not come into use so quickly; their textbook base is sometimes insufficient. The functioning of proverbs in the dynamics of development is also important in the study of the paremiological composition of the Russian language as a source of national cultural heritage.
